Avery: was it really that bad???
- Thread starter BJhunter
- Start date
Avery is a dolt. And he is not worth the money he gets that is for sure. If he'd remember that he's there to score goals instead of settling some childish score he may just get a contract in the future....NOT!

blown out of proportion
I agree with what BJH stated, it's just words and they don't physically hurt–well, maybe Elisha might shed a tear or two. I too would rather hand out stiff fines to guys who play with an 'intent to injure'.
on the other hand, what if someone said that about someone you genuinely care for? have we really lost compassion to fellow mankind? the NHL goes to great lengths to protect its image.
at least we don't have guns involved–self inflicted or otherwise.
blown out of proportion and more serious issues to cover in the world. but it made for good TV.
my 2 cents.

Or maybe he's there more to shut down top offensive lines and to draw penalties. If Avery was there to score goals, then that would be a pretty big waste of 3.8 million/year. Let's not exaggerate, this will not stop Avery from being wanted by many NHL teams. Regardless, he is in the beginning of a 4 year contract, so I don't think your statement makes much sense.
On tsn it says he's only getting a 6 game suspension so apparently it isnt that bad for him. That's enough time for him to take a short trip to vegas and make a vacation out of it
He wont get more than 4 games from the stars. There's always some team which think they can handle a clown like Avery.
That's what the league gave him, he still has to deal with the Stars
Even if he doesnt play in the NHL he's guaranteed a certain amount of money. I dont see them buying him out but if they do he can always run to europe.
this was a cumulative penalty
Did you hear what he said to that lady in Nashville? I don't know what he said to the lady's kids, but this is what he said to the 59 yr old lady...
Griffith insisted to me that while she taunted Avery, she never used foul language. So what was Avery's response? According to Griffith, Avery said, "You're nothing but an old f**king c*nt, I wouldn't even c*m in your face." After which he sprayed her with his water bottle. It was following that incident that the refs assessed Avery a second game misconduct, and Griffith is pretty much convinced Avery's reaction to the confrontation with her was the reason.
