NHL Player Suspended for Homophobic Slur

I happened to watch a little of the MN Wild Hockey game the other night on TV.  In between periods I heard the announcers telling of how one of the star players was suspended for making a "homophobic slur" on the ice to some other player.

I can only imagine that in the heat of battle or right before a fight broke out the player said "fag!" or something like it.

So does the NHL have a list of appropriate swearwords that can be used?

"Ok men...gather around.  Here is a partial list of swearwords and disparaging comments you can say while on the ice or during a fist fight with anyone on the other team....You can say Mother f..ker, Jack A.., G-d dammit, Sh.., Whore, pig, hairy ape, anything you think of about the other player's sister, aunt or mother, you can say Jesus Christ, or use the F word in any way you choose as an adjective, noun, verb or proper noun....BUT...if you say fag, faggot, sally, fem-job, queer, gay-boy or boy-lover...you will be immediately suspended for one game and will be required by the NHL to take 4 hours of sensitivity training...any questions?  All right then...let's go out their and kick their Mother-fuc..ng ass..!"

Incredible!!  It would appear that we have just entered the Twilight Zone....where you can curse God, mother or country...but you best not utter anything offensive about sexual deviants of ANY stripe.
