Sean Avery Is Gutless

How many chances do you give to Sean Avery before you finally say enough is enough?

He's a gutless little worm who is an embarrassment to the NHL and and the great game of hockey in general.

Anyone who likes his antics on and off the ice isn't a hockey fan. You're no different than the grey-matter challenged inbreeds who watch Nascar only for the car wrecks.

Time and time again Avery proves just how important he thinks he is while embarrassing his team-mates and alienating himself. He can't have many friends in the NHL.

It has become quite obvious that he couldn't spell sportsmanship let alone understand its meaning.

Many people argue that he is effective in what he does. Sure he pisses guys off but I've been watching the highlights lately and he'll only fight when he's up against a player he thinks he can beat. He runs away like a scared child when someone bigger takes offense to his actions.

When he stood in front of and was facing future Hall of Fame inductee Martin Brodeur waving his stick in the air trying to block his view while his team was on a 5-on-3 power play, he proved how little respect he has for the game and it's traditions.

Then he pushes and shoves Darcy Tucker during the warm-up prior to playing the Maple Leafs last season which nearly leads to a pre-game brawl. Of course he knew his team-mates would be there to bail him out when the rough stuff started.

Next he makes crude comments about Dion Phaneuf's girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert and is suspended by the league and ultimately dropped by the Dallas Stars. Did he learn his lesson? Some thought he had but as Don Cherry says, "a leopard never changes his spots".

Now we flash ahead to just the other night as Avery and the New York Rangers were in Boston to play the Bruins. I'm a Montreal fan so of course I hate the Bruins as a team but I can't condone the dummies latest actions during that game. You can view it below.

It's time for teams to stop signing this guy. When he is no longer making money playing the sport he supposedly loves, maybe he'll finally realize how wrong he really was. Until that time, shame on the Rangers and any other team who has him on their roster.
