My team has always been the Canadiens (well, since '86 when I started following hockey), and I've suffered through the likes of John Kordic, Claude Lemieux, Darcy Tucker, Chris Chelios. These guys are all knuckleheads for one reason or another, and their actions have been tough to stomach on occasion. But Avery takes it to another level.
As a former hockey player, I personally found it funny what he did to Brodeur in the last series. And I know no harm was intended...he was just trying to throw Marty off his game, which he may have done. Despite all that, it's still a trashy move, on par with things like diving for a call, or flipping off the crowd that pays your salary. (Avery? yes, he's done all that)
As for Brodeur, sure it was tasteless, but when you have a future hall of famer being mocked by a fringe player...you can understand where he's coming from. Avery, on the other hand, is the instigator for unsportsmanship...no one knows where he's coming from. He's a known racist, and he likes to make fun of people that have cancer. He's trash, and if he did play for Montreal, I'd boo every time he touched the puck.
sweeeeeeeeeeet 2 game 7s in one night ... love it ... im going with SJ.... which probably means the flames will win lol
I'm going for the Flames cause they're Canadian, but I don't really care about the West until the final round (I did enjoy seeing Anaheim bounced early and easily).

drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.
Police say it was organized arsonists who just used the crowd as a cover. See the link I posted in the Habs' thread - I suspect they think it's the same people.
And the people who were out and NOT destroying shit (the majority) are turning in all kinds of vids and photos to the authorities.
but how the kcuf does the ref not see the cap dman getting pushed into the goalie yes the flyer shoved him on purpose into the goalie
its clear as day right in front of him ??
my biggest concern is that the cup is gonna be decided on a horrible call
There were a ton of blown calls in that Philly-Caps game last night on both sides.
Shoddy reffing hasn't stopped with the arrival of the post-season, I'm afraid.

every series and calls go against every team
forget the teams for a minute and just look at the play lol
i mean cmon ??? its clear as fricking day
and the front ref 's only job at that moment was to be watching those 2 players?? how do u miss that?
again im afraid the cup is gonna be decided on a bullshit call

Unless it is a 1-goal game, the odds are against it.
I'd like to say they'd either crack down 100% or let everything go for the final, but I said that for the first round, too, and it didn't happen...

good chance most of the games will be tight
and dont forget every game is tied at one point during the game lol

True, but bad calls aren't anything new, so we can't get into the ol' "we lost cause of the refs" argument, cause every team ('cept Ottawa) can use that line at the moment. Oh well I guess we can get into that argument, but the point is we ALL can.
So who else is happy that the Flames were eliminated....and damn I am only a month away from moving to Calgary would love to be around all the whining right now.
Single handedly destroyed by a washed up (maybe not yet) old grumpy veteran...but I give JR props he was Mr. Clutch tonight and good on him.

Rygar. the Habs have the perfect matchup.
Rangers would have given them fits.
Lundqvist is a much better goalie than Biron.
is that exactly what I thought I read?"
How I choose to feel,...Is how I am.

talks about hypocrites
they have no problem making money off of him ,but criticize his every move
oh and lets see if marty gives back his share of the profits
because every player makes money on anything sold

You think Avery sees those T-shirts as a bad thing?
