Brett Hull feels responsible that the Stars are embroiled in the current Sean Avery controversy, which came to a head Friday when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman handed Avery a six-game suspension. "For me it's a little bit harder," Hull said Friday to a gathering of media in Dallas. "I obviously was probably more influential in trying to bring Sean here. We have a past history together. He lived with my wife and I in Detroit when he was a young rookie. "I thought that he was the type of guy that our dressing room needed to light a little bit of a fire and get a little bit more emotion on the ice. Obviously, it went a little bit overboard. For me it's a little bit difficult because I feel more responsibility for having Sean here."
