Avery is a black-eye for hockey. His play is not simply "aggressive" or "hustle." IMHO he is a goon and a weasel and an embarrasment for the sport.

Agreed...."Goons" per se don't bother me (though it is impossible for an old school goon to make the NHL anymore, they have to have skills in this day and age), but his bush-league BS is just a mockery of the sport.
