Thanks for the Post Ref! I was at the game yesterday, so I didn’t get the benefit of hearing what Brick and Jack had to say about this. I gotta tell you, I totally agree with Andy Brickley on this one. I have no problem with players being a pest. What I take issue with is the stunts like Sean Avery pulled yesterday. It’s totally uncalled for. More frequently he seems to not want to answer the bell for himself either. I noticed a few times yesterday he was going after David Krejci, but as soon as Milan Lucic came around, he was a ghost. I had your back for the sloppy seconds comment. Unfortunately like Paulie in Goodfellas, Now I gotta turn my back on you.

The Rempire State Building
I have never attended a game where a 5-on-5 fight kicked things off. I have seen all manner of things at a hockey game (freshly minted Matt Rempe shirts, peanut fights, fist fights, mustard pack fights, male and female nudity, hate crimes, personally being escorted out of the Garden) and been in the building countless times when a fight happened right off the opening faceoff. But never an all-ice-encompassing shitshow like that one between the Rangers and the Devils.

There’s been a lot of hockey on as of late that featured zero fights. The NHL All Star game, the Beanpot, and "any Boston Bruins game" to name a few.
Seriously, I don’t even remember the last time the Bruins had a fight. I see scraps throughout the National, and other leagues, so I know it’s still a "thing" - just not with our beloved Bruins.

Avery is such a tool, it looks like they are going to be the first round opponent as well. A good Boston V New York playoff with the Rangers and Avery getting bounced very quickly will be nice
He has some serious issues he needs to work out, it’s almost as if we are watching him self destruct, one incident after the other.
He’s a moron !! He’d be a guy that Reg Dunlop would put a bounty on the head of.
Seriously, I’d like to know at what age his maturity level peaked….13….15 ?? Looch should’ve lined him up for one of his glass smashers !!
Tweener, I toally agree. He is the chief punk of the whole NHL.
Greg,
I haven’t made up my mind yet if he is a ticking time bomb, or if he really thinks he’s helping the club by being a pest, and taking it over the line. Either way, I am done defending him, and I hope he gets buried if the Bruins have to face him in the playoffs.
I hear you Chris.
BTW, how exciting was it yesterday to get the Playoff tickets?!
Best day evah. I am excited for this run.
