Everyone has been watching Sean Avery for the last few years and honestly I can say he is a *****ing disgrace to the game. 2 years ago Sean Avery makes some comments about french Canadian players and then plays a role in The Rocket movie and he gets the p*ss beat out of him by basically one of the biggest fench icons in hockey history. (Maurice Richard).
This year he says some pretty disgraceful comments to Jason Blake this season when the player has cancer. Now this year in the playoffs he is a complete moron acting like a basketball pllayer in front of Martin Brodeur. I think he is a good player but he is freaking idiot and a disgrace to the game.
Is there a way where the NHL could just mute him from going on any NHL network coverage. Isn't this guy from Canada like come and says pretty stupid comments about our nation. I just think this guy has to go, I can't believe a meaningless player to the game would be such a disgrace. His act is going cold and I hope the Rangers lose just because I don't like Avery.
GO HABS GO, glad we don't have an idiot like that on our team.
I might not like the Bruins but I am glad they don't have I guy like avery which would totally ruin this series.
The guy is not just a disgrace as a hockey player, he is a disgrace as a human being. Anyone who thinks his crap is acceptable is also a piece of sh**. That's my opinion and obviously, Rangers fans don't share but who really cares. 29 other teams' fans share this opinion, at least in part if not in whole.
If there is one guy that deserves a long painful injury, it's him. Right after George Laracque beats the hell out of him.
your points are flawed his playing the role in the movie was a way of apologizing to french canadiens in addition to the real apology he gave. secondly he never said anything cancer related it was another toronto teamate who said that he had said it to cause trouble and blake denied ever hearing it.
lastly,
that stuff he does in front of brodeur is ****** but thats why the nhl has since implemented a rule against it. Before there was no rule and now he is not doing it. the guy is a warrior watch the series. He is an arrogant warrior but a warrior nontheless
what made you laugh, when he called Brodeaur a "fatso"
the way he said it made me laugh.
...i never laugh at fat jokes cuz everyone knows im not on the small side.
Avery was right last night tho. Brodeur had no reason not to shake his hand after the game. Beodeur just showed Avery is the bigger man.
Okay. One thing. Sean Avery is actually kickass on the ice. He's also had a stellar series against New Jersey, in hockey terms but not in human terms.
That said, I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'll keep saying it forever.
Sean Avery is gross. I think he's disgusting. And I'm glad Brodeur refused to shake his hand. Avery is an *******. I'm glad there aren't too many Sean Averys in the NHL because he really brings a terrible lack of class to the league.
An attention ***** who's in denial. He claims not to pay attention to the hockey media but seems very up-to-date with regards to how his antics are being portrayed. I imagine he has very low self-esteem.
And "fatso"? Really? A fourth grader would be embarrassed to use that as an insult... He may as well have called Brodeur "gay".
I might not like Tucker, but to make up a comment like Avery saying something about Blake's cancer is hard to believe.
Personally I think he made the movie to make money, from a human being like that, I don't think apologizing is even possible.
Even watching him on tv makes me want to vomit. The next team he plays I hope somebody fights him and just messes him up. Maybe he will be brought down to earth. I undertand play like a warrior but when your a disgrace as human being it is hard to sell the game.

Bah.. he's a character... without him we'd have nothing to complain about. You can't have one of him on every team, but you need a guy like him in the league just to bring a bit of levity.
The last thing I want is a league full of guys who all look the same and say the same thing (i.e. 99.9% of players across all major sports). You need guys like Avery, Chad Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Manny Ramirez just to make things fun!

Despite Avery being a ridiculously arrogant person and a ''*****'' ,I would easily take him on my playoff team any day of the week.He's built for the playoffs and he's in the mold of a guy like Claude Lemieux,and he was loved in Montreal....

I never thought of that, I bet he does pay attention to the media. Maybe he does have low self esteem. Thats good point, I would not be surprised if it was true.
Avery is from Ontario, maybe he moved but he was born in Canada.
Born in Pickering, Ont., Canada
From what I've heard, Avery also called a fan at a Devils game fat once. The guy has no class. I don't care how good of a hockey player he is, he's a horrible person.
I don't really care for Brodeur, so I think its funny. I think the only difference between Avery and a lot of NHL players, is he says things publicly. A lot of players say a lot of bad things behind closed doors and on the ice.... Avery gets caught more than others.

They all may talk a lot, but it's what Avery says and does that makes the difference from the rest of those guys you list.
I don't think the NHL needs an Avery. There are lots of sources of "levity" without his mean spirited routine

aren't we feeling superior today.
The Blake comments didn't happen.
The league addressed the screening issue by amplifying the rulebook section on unsportsmanlike conduct. Can't blame Avery for trying. Oh and by the way that "antic" worked. (and for what it's worth I'm not 100 percent sure the league got this right, Avery was aggressively screening untouched and uncontested - is that so unsportsmanlike? - whatever). Perhaps waving of the stick should be considered illegal on the penalty kill, or yelling "open" to opposing players to entice a giveaways should be banned. Nah.
The league has changed and reinforced rules to deal with key situations, doesn't mean the players/teams that caused those changes are disgusting. I'm torn on the Avery issue, but in the end analysis he's periodically effective enough to keep a job in the NHL, that deserves some respect.
Also in the end Ranger's won and it was Brodeur who was unsportsmanlike.

What exactly does he say and do that is so objectionable? Has it gotten to the point where you can't sleep and function because of it?
The guy has an opinion so he shares it. Big deal, it's what we do all day long behind our silly handles and avatars.
So he likes to order high priced hookers and call a guy Fatso, all the while crapping on the French culture, at least he has the balls to say what's on his mind!

Oh well you convinced me. Avery is just misunderstood
PS: I didn't exactly see Avery reaching for Brodeur's hand either. But in any case I think Marty gets the benefit of any doubts in this episode. Big examples of unsportsmanlike history by Avery and not too much history for Marty. And I am sure Marty is effective enough to keep a job in the NHL and deserve respect

Sleep or function? LOL.
The topic is thoughts on Sean Avery. I have mine. You have yours.
If you want to defend his right to be a jerk. Go for it.
