Good for him. He was always a 3rd liner who played tough (and a bit dirty), but, he has had a great career for a "plugger". I wish I'd been paid almost $21 million before I turned 37.Hockey Widow wrote:Hey Minny is buying out Matt Cooke.......JK, JK, JK no really they are buying him out JK about him coming here.

Avery always was smarter than your average NHL'er. His antics, quick wit, and ingenuity as a pest, were proof of that.Todd Bersnoozi wrote:Interesting article about life after hockey and transition to real life by former NHLer Sean Avery. You get to see the human side of it all under all the glitz and glamour.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!I handled the pressure partly by inventing a character — the tough, ornery Sean Avery that you think you know — and I’d put his game face on before I left for the rink, and I’d take it off when I got home. It was my way of handling all the demands on us to win. And to keep my job. I needed people to hate me. I needed players to come after me in order to stay motivated

The "character he invented" is this brand new one.
The old character was the real Sean Avery!
... ask his teammates in Dallas and New York!!
(you know, the ones who had him kicked off those teams)
"I'm not the psychocunt everyone in the entire Hockey World thinks I am"
Next he'll try to sell you a bridge.... or a book.
How can you say that? Did you not see how he absolutely pummelled Steve Moore, essentially ending his career!?!Blob Mckenzie wrote:He played tough ?Tciso wrote:Good for him.

Big fan of Backlund, I wish he was a Nuck. Good signing by the Flames, future core player on the team, plays a gritty 200 ft gameHockey Widow wrote:Flames sign Backlund, 3 years at 3.575 per. I think a tad high but coming from a team that just re-signed Sbisa....I'll let it slid.
True story, a long time ago, on a fucking canuck message board far far away...Todd Bersnoozi wrote: Well, a lot of ppl on this board seem to invent a character, guys in hollywood probably do the same thing. It's probably more common than u think.
Yeahno, WWE guys crap bigger than p.o.s. Sean Avery!Todd Bersnoozi wrote: Maybe instead of the NHL, Avery should of went to the WWE. Might of made a hell a lot of more money. But then again, he's only 35, which is pretty young for a wrestler. He could make a former hockey player type character like the hanson bros or something. GM would luv him!
Yeah, you should have known better than to have fallen for Avery's article there Todd.http://pagesix.com/2014/11/04/sean-aver ... 1341741924
Former NY Ranger Sean Avery had a Shia LaBeouf-style meltdown on the set of his off-Broadway play “Negative Is Positive” and quit two days before it was due to open, after a stage manager politely offered him pizza.
“He’s a playwright’s worst nightmare,” said “Negative” author Christy Smith-Sloman.
The show, which opens at Theater for the New City on Thursday, centers on an interracial married couple, and Avery was to play the lead character’s best friend.
On Monday, Avery left rehearsals early after growing agitated. On Tuesday, Avery’s behavior grew worse. According to Smith-Sloman, when a young assistant stage manager named Natalie asked the athlete-turned-actor if he wanted a slice of pizza, he said no, but somehow thought the assistant had called him an “a–hole.”
“He said I was ‘talking s–t’ and said I was ‘so full of s–t,'” Natalie, who was left in tears, told us. “That’s when I realized that I was dealing with a madman.”
Next, director Andreas Robertz said Avery told him, “Don’t you know who I am?!” and stormed out. “I think something snapped in him,” said Robertz.
“It’s a complete horror story … Avery had a complete meltdown in rehearsals and quit. He pretty much snapped,” Smith-Sloman told Page Six.
The playwright said she does not want hot-tempered Avery back. “It’s unbelievable he would do this two days before we open. At this point I don’t want him to be a part of this production. He can’t call people pieces of s–t and say, ‘Do you know who I am?’ [He] can’t threaten people.”
An understudy will replace Avery, who didn’t return our calls for comment.
