Ammo Against Avery

Now that we know we face the Rangers for round 2, let the loathing begin anew! And my God, there aren't even words to describe this hate-inducing gem that good Friend of The Show Cassie C. found about Ranger schmuck Sean Avery (from ABC News):

Macho man and provocateur Sean Avery -- by some accounts the most hated player in the National Hockey League [snoop: you can say that again] -- will be joining the estrogen-infused world of fashion as an unpaid intern at Vogue magazine.

[...]

This guy is a joke.

"We are going to have to see how far the Rangers go to determine when he will start, but he will certainly be here and get an internship with a variety of editors," Patrick O'Connell, director of communications for Vogue, told ABCNews.com. "I don't know if he'll be writing yet, but he will be doing regular tasks."

That means the stocky, 28-year-old athlete -- who is in the midst of the NHL playoffs --- will be "answering phones, working photo shoots, getting samples, contacting people, working the gamut," according to O'Connell.

W. T. F?!?! Does this guy want to play hockey or does he just want to be famous? What a tool. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY so the Pens can make sure this internship starts sooner rather than later.

Listen, I'm working on a post that I need you to check out. It will be up a little later today.

Until then,

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sean Avery = Jealous of Sidney Crosby

Well, look at what we have here... Sean Avery is whining, yet again.

Unlike a few of Sean Avery's closest adversaries, the Rangers' unofficial spokesperson refuses to blame an injury on why he wasn't up to speed in the series against Buffalo.

“I think that’s just something you battle through,” Avery said. “Those (excuses) are for guys like Sidney (Crosby) and guys that have to keep themselves in the media, saying they weren’t hurt or they were hurt.

Oh, the irony, it's too painful, stop. Avery played with an injured left wrist, which may need surgery in the offseason.

“I love when guys are done and say they were hurt or they had the flu. Roberto Luongo he had the flu now? It’s a big mystery why he was late for overtime. It’s fine. You battle through things.”

Unlike LA or Detroit, Avery feels like he has found his niche in New York, and wants to remain a Blueshirt.

“I feel like I finally found a home and somewhere where maybe I fit in,” Avery said.

Hmm, did Roberto Luongo ever complain about the flu or anything? No! He just went out and stopped the puck like he always does.

Crosby didn't whine about an injury, and it became known only after the series was done. This was a team/media thing, not a Crosby thing.

Sean Avery: the NHL's jealous whiner.
