He doesn't mention specifics, but I think people who follow the league know what he is talking about.
You are correct about one thing for sure though. Outside of Canada, with the exception of a few cities, hockey is dead. In the US it is now on the VS network and half the cable companies out there don't even carry that channel and even if they get it you only get a couple of games a week. Back when it was on ESPN there was a game on almost every night on one of the ESPN channels.
Don't get me wrong. I think what he said is funny. I'm just saying that I can see why the suspended him. If the only publicity they can get is bad it doesn't help their dying game. This happens in all sports. If a player or coach in the NFL or NBA calls out the refs after a game they get fined or often suspended for a game. In MLB if you complain about the umpires the same can happen. Sports leagues tend to not be very happy when you start talking about other members of that league.
That said, Elisha Cuthbert is hot, I'll take those sloppy seconds any day
