Oral Sex Makes Some Hockey Execs Uncomfortable

Last night in the NY Rangers v. NY Islanders match up, Isles defenseman James Wisniewski made an oral sex gesture to Rangers player Sean Avery after Avery sprayed the Isles goalie with the ice. The gesture was clearly seen by all, yet many of the teams' execs ignored the issue in post game press talks.

Islanders coach Scott Gordon dismissed the incident and then walked out of the room. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said he didn't see the obscene gesture but that he would have one of his VPs look into it.

Wisniewski's gesture was lewd and seen by the viewers, yet for some reason this incident made the NHL execs uncomfrtable and one that they did not want to discuss. Fortunately for them, these men felt comfortable looking the other way, but how about those parents who had to explain what that meant to their kids?

    UPDATE: Wisniewski has been suspended by the league for two games for his gesture to Avery. That little gesture will only cost him about $80,000!!!
