So THAT’S Why They Suspended Avery

Oh Gary, you are a cunning one. Trying to take the high road on Sean Avery’s “sloppy seconds” comment, you must have read this book by professional wrestling personality Eric Bischoff. Because I don’t see any online buzz about, say, Ron Wilson returning to San Jose or the intense Southeast battle between Florida and Washington tonight. But a quick look around the inter-tubes shows that your little suspension of Mr. Avery has got people talking NHL.
First off, let’s take a quick look at Yahoo. What’s that at the very top of Yahoo’s home page? Why, it’s a Dallas Star! I don’t see Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin there, and I can’t imagine they’d ever make it up there unless they’re lifting Lord Stanley. But it’s football season and you’re stealing the spotlight.
Next, let’s see what’s going on at Google Trends. At 6:30 PM PST, things are looking pretty rockin’ for the NHL:
1. horatio magellan
2. mutton
3. sean avery
4. chilmark
5. mike bellotti
6. chilmark ma
7. georgia senate runoff
8. chip kelly
9. elisha cuthbert
10. coronado bridge
11. nikki carlisle
12. georgia senate race results
13. bryant park
14. leyla milani
15. the man with no face
16. moviepix dv 80 review
17. toven specimen
18. dion phaneuf
19. cordelia porn
20. divorce360.com
Sure, Dion Phaneuf is an incredible player and a household name in Canada, but for Joe Six Pack or Joe The Plumber? They probably think Dion Phaneuf is the name of a fancy new cleaning product or something. But thanks to your suspension of Sean Avery, you’ve made him more searchable than two American staples: pornography and divorce!
Good job, Gary. Those marketing guys are working harder than I thought.
