James Wisniewski Has Indeed Been Suspended for His Obscene Gesture

Contrary to Sean Avery’s prediction, the NHL has indeed suspended Islanders defenseman/amateur pantomime James Wisniewski for making this obscene gesture at Sean Avery during their Columbus Day matinee on Monday. (No truth to the rumor — the one we’re starting right here — that Wisniewski was offered the choice between a two-game suspension and six hours in a room with this song playing, and chose the former.) So take note, pests and goons of the NHL: A throat-slashing gesture gets you one game, while an oral-sex gesture gets you two. [ESPN New York]
