I disliked Avery the player as much as anyone to wear a Kings uniform. The fact that Dumpster Dave traded Matt Schneider away for salary reasons and he came the other way, along with that stiff Kuznetzov made me dislike Sean Avery before he even step foot on Staples ice. When DL was able to trade him and get a return after being suspended from the team, most of us here were saying they were happy to get anything for him. I thought Brett Hull was an idiot for giving him something like $4M a season to play in Dallas.
That being said, I really enjoyed listening to both his game 2 and 3 recaps. He said that Mike Richards skates like he has a hot dog stuck up his rear. Classy? No. Funny? Yea, maybe. I laughed. And I took his statements about Henrik L. to be more of a comment on how the prof. hockey writer's media members write about the guy than anything personal about King Henrik.
