So does he get his own category that's below rat-player then ?

How about we reserve a "scum" category for Avery? We could put dirtbags like Ott and Downie in there too if you'd like.

I like Ott. I'd love him on the Bruins :-o
Hartnell - Begin - Ott is a third line I could very well live with. HBO line :-p at least just as entertaining as HBO :-D

Ott is just too dirty for my taste. I just don't like him. Even if he was with the Bruins, I don't think I could support him.

Hartnell, is definitely a guy I hate but would love if he was a Bruin.

Ha I'd say Avery just because he had a rule changed in his honour.

I don't know if the word "honour" is the one to use here. :-p

Yeah, you remember it right. I started to watch him differently and discovered his positives ;) On the other side, I can't forget him the Jagr hit.

The one where you're not allowed to stand in front of the goalie waving your hands like an idiot. He did it last season, IIRC, and the league quickly made a rule against it to hopefully prevent it from being done again and making the league look like a laughing stock... again.

Yeah Brodeur punched him in the head and refused to shake his hand. It was quite funny to watch though. Avery's antics make me laugh.

I still laugh for that video where Ruutu owns Phaneuf, maybe old one, but very funny!

I hope he tried that, because its so funny ;D
