The Red Wings called him “Puppy”; he told the locker room to call him “Big Dog”, and one of the legends (Stevie? Shanny? Hull?) replied “No, you’re a puppy.”
Shanahan also said puppy made more sense because he's like one of those little rat dogs who nip at your heels and every once in a while you turn around and kick it 😂
I remember when he did a stint with the Rangers affiliate the Hartford Wolfpack and they were at the Lowell Devils. The fans rode him hard all game and post game one of my friends handed the Hartford back up goalie a picture of the Lowell Devils mascot with the caption "sloppy seconds" written on it and asked him to give to Avery to sign and he was cool with that. Apparently no one on the Wolfpack liked him and he was kind of a d-bag to his team mates. Backup gets on the bus then two minutes one of the tinted windows rolls down and there is Avery screaming expletives at us and flipping us off. He crumpled up the picture, flung it at us then dropped his pants to moon us which prompted some of us to return the gesture. I still remember the bus pulling away with his butt hanging out and the coach screaming at him to knock it the bleep off.
Favorite Avery story. He was with the Red Wings and they were playing Colorado. He just finished a shift and chirping at Joe Sakic. Brendan Shanahan tells him to cut it out. Avery says he is the other team. Hull was sitting on the other side says "That is Mr. Sakic. We don't say anything to him". I wonder if Shanahan was telling him to cut it out again in this video.
Oh I definitely remember him... Here in Nashville we called him a fk'n turtle. Chants of "Ave-ry...Tur-tle..." repeatedly after he declined a fight dropped into a ball.
Ughh. I remember playing goalie in the early 2010's when pretty much every other guy was trying either this crap or attempting the Michigan... Best worst memories ever!
Best Sean Avery chirp ever…”How’s your fuckin head Cookie?!? How’s your fuckin head?!?” to Matt Cooke after Dustin Brown leveled him with a knockout hit
@JS-ip5wp the man's a complete douche canoe. But he embodies the idea of "bad publicity; is still publicity". There are so many pricks in the NHL who are two-faced. The deference is Avery never tried to hide it.
I was a kid when Avery was on my Kings, and even back then I hated him lol. Dude was a menace, and I can’t think of another player on my team that made me groan when they hit the ice as much as Avery
Just a couple days ago I realized you were the Star Wars guy I watch too, I just don’t watch those videos as often so only when I just now went back the things clicked
There was some of Avery's shit that I hated but this was one that I loved. I don't mind that it got banned, but it's fun to see him pissing people off.
I want it to count as a kick of you angle your foot for the puck to come off of, whether your blade has left the ice or not. If in a game of football (soccer for the North Americans) a player crosses the ball in and it bounces off another player, that would still be that players goal and not the one who crossed it in, so by that logic it makes even less sense in hockey because they have actively positioned their foot to change the trajectory of the puck. It’s an easy rule to exploit and something needs to be done about it
One of those guys you can only like once he gets older and changes completely. then its like. meh. I like that guy! Really became a fan after biz's 1 hour episode getting to know Avery better. Thanks for the content.
The strangest part about Avery is that the few times he actually decided to play hockey instead of acting like a clown he was surprisingly pretty decent. As was said about a far more memorable clown, "Some people just wanna watch the world burn". I think that sums up Avery's career pretty well with how often he was on the losing end of his own antics.
The trapezoid rule has to go. Its just foolish to punish players especially goalies for being good. It takes the excitement out of seeing a goalie playing the puck since they're limited on that.
Disclaimer: I am a Devils fan. HOWEVER I am a new hockey fan, so I didn’t watch Marty back then. I do think it would be obnoxious for someone to just post up in front of the goalie and wave their stick around (high sticking would be inevitable right?) but I think it’s wild that they changed the rule overnight in the middle of the playoffs. Also, how often was this happening? Was it happening to other goalies and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back? Love your content Eck! Have watched for years (Star Wars and now hockey). That said, LGD, FTR 😈
No, Avery was just constantly pestering Brodeur throughout the entire season, to the point that David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk tried to fight him every time he was on the ice. It was kind of just a last straw thing for Avery, because at that point whats stopping 2 or 3 players from doing it while the D just sniped from the blue line.
I'll always be funny to me how Ranger fans were the ONLY fans that liked him when he played for their team. Like flies on shit thats what they're attracted to i guess 😂 #PovertyFranchise
I love how this was something they Saud we have to change immediately, but you can straight up assault people in tons of ways with no penalty still. Weird league
I don't know how good it would be and if would it even help, but I would change the salary cap rule. I would make a change with the longer a player plays with the current team the less of his salary is counted towards the team's salary cap. Spitballing numbers here but let's say a player needs to play at least 3 years (so no rookie contract could apply) for a team before this rule kicks in. Then let's say 95% of their AAV would count towards the salary cap. From here it could either go down a fixed amount every year (like 2.5% per year) or every few years (7,5% per 3 years). Would that help teams keep their homegrown talent? Would that make it impossible to trade bad contracts? Would that make the league have a lot of overpaid players? I don't know.
I’m sorry but calling Sean Avery a dog is totally disrespectful to all dogs on this planet. He might be what comes out the back side of my dog… but he’s no dog. Dogs are better than people and I stand by it.
Every team loves a good instigator. Unfortunately Avery was never that guy. His own team didn't like him and they certainly didn't respect him. He was an embarrassment to the franchise. The opponents laughed at him - he only got under the skin of his teammates.
if only Avery & Brodeur were mic’d up during that play; would’ve loved to hear their dialogue lmao
Marty: Oi Fucko, get outta my face ur team isn’t even in the zone anymore
Avery: can’t hear you fatso, too busy not paying attention
Sean: should’ve shook my hand fatso
Got to meet Martin Brodeur when I was in school with his son (Anthony)! One of the nicest individuals I’ve had the chance to meet, great guy!
One of my favorite netminders of all time. I wish I could ask him what's up with him creating those ugly NJ black jerseys. So dull....
Cool. Glad to hear he is a nice guy. I met Ken Daneyko a few years ago at my job, and he was also a very nice guy.
The Red Wings called him “Puppy”; he told the locker room to call him “Big Dog”, and one of the legends (Stevie? Shanny? Hull?) replied “No, you’re a puppy.”
Shanahan also said puppy made more sense because he's like one of those little rat dogs who nip at your heels and every once in a while you turn around and kick it 😂

rolling windows on a bus???
Don't forget his 'sloppy seconds' blast at Phaneuf.
As a Devils' fan lifer this is still one of the funniest moments in hockey. I can't even be mad, it's just fuckin comedy
As someone that has only recently started following hockey this is great off-season content. 👍

Eck, as usual you never disappoint. Love all the hockey and star wars content
Thank you!

Was he not turtle-y enough for your Turtle Club?
@@jimb.7523 wow zing, you got gems like that for social media, id love to hear you chirp in person...
@@esteads2.010 he was quoting lines from the movie MASTER OF DISGUISE featuring Dana Carvey.
@@DonMaximo must have missed that one sounds like a banger
Avery gave me box seats to a game in LA because we were both from Pickering. Good dude off the ice.
Ughh. I remember playing goalie in the early 2010's when pretty much every other guy was trying either this crap or attempting the Michigan... Best worst memories ever!
both should be banned
Best Sean Avery chirp ever…”How’s your fuckin head Cookie?!? How’s your fuckin head?!?” to Matt Cooke after Dustin Brown leveled him with a knockout hit
I actually loved Avery. Absolite menace. Also love how he went into fashion and acting after he retired -- got a line of dialogue in the movie Tenet.
He also was in the movie The Rocket ( Le Rocket ), the Maurice Richard movie.
@@DonMaximo basically played himself too xD
IMDB says that he's a weatherman in Oppenheimer too. Must be doing something right.
@JS-ip5wp the man's a complete douche canoe. But he embodies the idea of "bad publicity; is still publicity". There are so many pricks in the NHL who are two-faced. The deference is Avery never tried to hide it.
I want to see a celebrity boxing match for charity, Brodeur vs. Avery
Did you know that Sean Avery is going to be in the upcoming Oppenheimer😂?
Still think Avery should be allowed to do that. There is a disadvantage since he doesn't know where the puck is so he can't deflect it.
I was a kid when Avery was on my Kings, and even back then I hated him lol.
Dude was a menace, and I can’t think of another player on my team that made me groan when they hit the ice as much as Avery
Many forget Avery is a Solar Bears Legend
Was that Shanahan skating over the Avery to tell him to knock it off (or something to that effect)? Greasy for sure.
Drury
Brian Burke writing your scripts now?😂
Avery was good to have on your team. He became cancer when he started trying too hard to go the extra mile
I never reaaaally understood why this was so blasphemous. I think if it were a different players involved there would be no rule change.
Just a couple days ago I realized you were the Star Wars guy I watch too, I just don’t watch those videos as often so only when I just now went back the things clicked
Love this content
Ah, when hockey was on versus (the outdoor network)
I would not be surprised if Jagr recommended that play as a joke :D
As a Rangers that lives in NY I always do it in Devils fans faces
Bruh
Those games were so fun to watch!!!!
There was some of Avery's shit that I hated but this was one that I loved. I don't mind that it got banned, but it's fun to see him pissing people off.

Why did they need the rule change? Unsportsmanlike conduct is a pretty flexible rule, they could have used it when Avery first did this.
One of those guys you can only like once he gets older and changes completely. then its like. meh. I like that guy!
Really became a fan after biz's 1 hour episode getting to know Avery better.
Thanks for the content.
There are some players (like Avery) where I am shocked no one ended their career the Tod Bertuzzi way
Avery is the marchand of the 00s
no cause marchand is actually good
@@microwavesgommmmmmm debatable.
sean avery got a cameo in oppenheimer

@@Sick_Boy_Rick74ah yes 😂

If that was a Penguins player doing that the rule wouldn't be changed.

Pretty sure that was the first time that ever happened. I would recommend Secret Base's beef history of Avery and Brodeur. It will give light to this
He was a pure jackass but I loved it 😂
I've had someone tell me once, Sean Avery is a reason unto itself to absolutely hate hockey. Boy she was right...
I’ll never forgive Avery for that and I’ll always hate him lol
I think it was ok to make it a rule, cause it's not very sportsman like. But it IS genius to do on a 5 on 3 when it's not a rule.
You just have to ask yourself, do you want BASEketball (Parker/Stone movie) to be a real sport or not?
Sean Avery is also Devin Bookers Father
Has anyone else ever even done that? Hahaha
I'll always be funny to me how Ranger fans were the ONLY fans that liked him when he played for their team. Like flies on shit thats what they're attracted to i guess 😂

As a Stars fan I hated signing SA. Hagman was a better signing, and cheaper, yet the Stars wenr with Avery. Curse that man into oblivion.
They need to get rid of the stupid trapezoid rule. It was put in for Marty and he's no longer playing.
Was?
Hate Sean Avery so much… least favorite player ever.. I am a Devils fan so obviously…. like ive never hates a ranger more than Sean Avery…
It’s a love hate for me
Avery's social media presence is eventful and cringeworthy if you like that sort of thing
Thats an exciting player. I love exciting players
At least the Rangers had the decency not to injure that goalie lmao

Seems wrong to add a rule in during the season.
Oh boy

dude, you changed the video title. Because if you hadn't, I surely wouldn't have saved this video to watch a Sean Avery video.
Hey eck can you comment on this comment by the why always a good day when he uploads a video
Every team loves a good instigator. Unfortunately Avery was never that guy. His own team didn't like him and they certainly didn't respect him. He was an embarrassment to the franchise. The opponents laughed at him - he only got under the skin of his teammates.
I remember that game lol. Avery wasn't a hockey player, he an entertainer through and through.
Hi eck
That wasn't added to the rules... it was clarified that it was already a penalty... "unsportsmanlike conduct".
No no no
Hated that guy
Avery was a total jerk, period.
NO
Such an over biased take from Ranger fan you must now host the pesk Avery for B&B till you put out the truth and true take on it.
Avery was ,is,and always will be an average player that was full of himself🖕🏽🫵🏽
Sean Avery was absolute dogsh*t. Fixed the title :D
the nhl is turning into a joke
First again, goddamn
Nope
First
Nope
Sean Avery invented the screen. Chang my mind.
