rubberdinghy Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 "I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada," Avery told TSN on Tuesday. "I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about. Enjoy the game tonight" tsn.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The lead up to the quote (from the G&M) is even more hilarious!"As he emerged from the dressing area at the back of the visiting dressing room, he asked if a TSN camera were present.When he saw that it was, Avery stepped in front of the microphones, didn't wait for a question to be asked and started talking."

Jaimoe Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Phaneuf barely talks and never smiles. I bet that mean S.O.B. levels Avery with an open-ice hit in the 2nd period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Gotta give the dude credit, he knows how to stir shit up.Anyone catch him on Strombo's show? He was great. Strombo said "finish this sentance: Most Hockey Players are..."Avery: "Simple."I wish this game was on TV tonight, but I'll have to wait for the highlights.

LXQ42 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 What a douche....stupid that he gets suspended for that, but what a ridiculous thing to say. The guys a fucking moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Agreed he is a moron, but I am not sure that is a suspendable offence. I think he has done a lot more stupid things that he should have been suspended for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think a big factor in the suspension is that he went out of his way to make the comments. The reporters did not approach him, he approached them and began speaking. This kind of talk happens on the ice all the time but to go out of your way to broadcast it on television is ridiculous. Give him 5 games and tell him to save that talk for the ice where the people he is talking about can do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Burke's first move should be to trade for Avery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 The expectation is that Avery is done in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Cherry's gonna be milking this on Coach's Corner this Saturday. Earlier in the season he looked right into the camera and said "Brett Hull, you're going to rue the day you signed Avery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think even Avery realized how embarrassing he was being about halfway through his little speech. At least that's how I read his body language and tone of voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Perhaps Frost should hire Avery to write for his blog? Avery is gradually moving towards David Frost pariah-like status. Maybe he can blog on Frost's new website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's how I read his body language and tone of voice.to me it looked as though he thought it was funny and when no one laughed half way through his schpeal, he bolted. Funny to hear Matthew Barnaby commenting on this on TSN this morning. 2 of my most hated players ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tissue Man Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I loved the interviews with the Dallas players.. you can really tell they hate the guy. they stepped it up bigtime without him. message sent to Hull.. we dont need this cock.

Hal Johnson Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 He should have just hit Phaneuf from behind, he would have got less of a suspension.For the record, it seems the ESPN american audience finds the fact that they suspended him to be a joke, and they are making fun of the league. http://myespn.go.com/s/conversations/show/story/3740622/sort/oldestPart of me agrees with them.
