Avery Confronts Hayward
Sean Avery isn’t too happy with Bryan Hayward. On Monday Hayward said Avery ducked Todd Fedoruk. Hayward was in LA for NBC’s late Saturday afternoon game and ran into Avery in the lockerroom on Friday. I’m guessing Avery didn’t want a repeat of his meeting with Darcy Hordichuk.
“You’re an embarrassment,” the Times quoted Avery as saying and Hayward responded by saying, “You want to see an embarrassment? Look in the mirror, Sean.”
Avery walked towards Hayward at one point but was pulled away by assistant coach Ray Bennett.
“You’re the reason the league doesn’t have a national television deal. You’re a (terrible) announcer and you were a (terrible) player,” Avery said during the exchange.
Hayward responded: “How would you know? When I played, you were in your third year of eighth grade.”
The CP article from above also mentions some of Avery’s other mishaps throughout the season. Avery, who turns 26 in two days, is one of the most hated players in the league. Causing controversy off-ice seems to be as part of his job as causing mischief on it. Hate him if you want, but he’s one of the few personalities who stand out in today’s NHL.
