Avery is not known for his "sportsmanlike conduct" on the ice; in fact, he's something of an asshole. But I gotta give him props for being the first pro athlete in NYC to openly support everybody's right to marry.

2. Avery is a scumbag of the highest calibre

but this is one of the bravest things I've seen a pro athlete do in a long time.

I will therefore forgive his whining and pathetic taunting for one full period at the start of next regular season, then the well deserved derision begins again. ;-)

3. He's no Marty McSorley ...

But he does have some tendencies to play dirty.

Bravo to Sean Avery for stepping up.

4. I notice this isn't on the left side video list

Sure, I altered the title, as the real one was rather convoluted. But this isn't LBN, and I have noticed several vids here whose actual titles differ from the headers.
