Sean Avery Punches Varlamov [HQ] Game 3 - April 20 2009

[MrJasonalexander09]

It didnt matter that he got a penalty they were down 3-0 with less then 3 in the 3rd. However Avery is still a total dick head for that cheap ass move

[triad203]

It just shows what a classless dirtbag Sean Avery is.

[Sharksfan27]

haha Varlamov is just like 'wtf is this guy doing?'.

[parduno22]

Avery's so dumb, doesn't he know that Varlamov can't speak english, so he can't say anything that can get under his skin

[hockeymatt1994]

@parduno22 You know, Avery is such a doucher, I wouldn't put it above him to have learned Russian just to bother other players

[DmCh67]

Sean Avery is ice garbage

[oXtreme1995o]

Avery is just getting careless now. i mean the trash talking is okay but punching for no reason...taking bad penalties....come on! Tortirella has had enough of Avery

[eqeqeq99]

what a dickhead!!!

[mirzayanov]

what was the point of Avery doing all that?? he fucks his team over every time by taking dumb penalties

[blinkisbest182]

i love avery, one of my favorite players in the game, he doesnt take shit from anyone, and he doesnt care what he does and he always is up for a little fight!

[SxelaRevol]

every cant fight his way out of a wet paper bag. and if he was up for a fight the linesman wouldnt have had to protect him during that

[johnslagle]

Simeon Varlamov just doesn't care, he just beat Pittsburgh, game 1, what a save!

[Averyinyourface]

lol

[wmerck26]

If the ranch-hands make it to the next round, it's going to be a quick series for Avery when he meets Lucic and Thomas.

[RyderRocks73]

Good thing Avery's too stupid to learn another language.

[Milehighfive789]

what an idiot, he hasn't changed at all.

[Lunafam1]

SUPPORT 6 YR OLD BOXING CHAMP! STOP BY!

[Dannyboy70]

Avery is a punk. I would love to see Brashier put the beat down on him.

[HHRB0664]

Screw brashier. He's a thug just like Avery. Let's throw Avery onto a rink encircled by a horde of pissed-off goalies and see how long he lasts.

[PeteCore75]

I'd like to see him piss of Ray Emery ahhaa

[bendutta2008]

I would love to see Marty McSorely come in and wack those 2 over the head.

[sullivan0099]

how mad is Torts that he has Avery on his team, you know he just wants to elbow him everytime he looks at him

[Shishpanik]

Lets go CAPS! Thanks Sean Avery. You helped us win game 3 :)

[InFlaMeStube]

Haha yeah !

ROCK THE RED !!!!!!!

[XjoshhyX]

Sean Avery is a real Class Ass

[conorthompson89]

avery is a pussy, notice how he wasn't looking at Varlamov when he punched him, I bet Torterella will put him in the line-up for the next game, so the Caps can kick his ass, put after that, I think he'll bench him for the rest of the playoffs.

[Steve2of3]

i dont like Avery but i understand what he was trying to do.. he was totally just trying to get under his skin.. it worked for theodore, Brodeur, Haskins, DiPietro etc. what i'm just waiting for is someone to just snap and really knock Avery the fuck out... i mean seriously, theres too much of that "honor" thing or "whatever, he'll get the penalty" thing.. just once i'd like to see someone really go bat shit and knock some of Avery's teeth out.. it wont stop him, but would be hilarious to see

[ffairlane57]

Avery spends too much time harrassing defensemen and goalies, and not chasing the puck and setting up plays....and I think that's bad for someone who plays forward.

[nymets6986e]

DP puched him twice two seasons ago. But cmon how could you justify punching a goalie in the face?

[Steve2of3]

oh no.. im not justifying Avery punching him.. i want players, goalies, etc to punch him back and not worry about the consequences.. in a league that fires their coaches mid season, they r hypocritical when it comes to illegal hits and suspensions.. like recently they didnt suspend Avery for all his shit in round 1 series, and then one hit from Brashear gets him 6 games suspended.. NHL never makes sense...lol

[thecoolstuff99]

all you bitches will love Avery when he's on your team.

[njdevilszubrus]

Au contraire! If Avery was on my team, I would f*cking die...No way in hell would I ever want that useless piece of sh*t.

[nymets6986e]

BS id boo him anytime he touched the puck if he played for my team.

[ionizer]

itool - odd your comment was removed by the author. Anyway, ovechkin just takes a lot of shots from the outside. The reason he is able to score some of them, is (As I mentioned) because he does have a quick, hard, fast shot. But if we start brining in players who simply can shoot hard/fast like that, the game loses any momentum and just becomes a giant shot fest. It will look like the practice before the game when everyone warms up the goalie

[mkaufer]

I just watched what lucic did to get suspended and there's no way that this isn't worse. He punched a goalie in the face! I thought Avery was supposed to be on short leash with his past history....I guess he can get away with whatever he wants now.

[dc013]

Cross check to the neck and what really amounts to being a love tap to a goalie is the same thing now? C'mon, don't be so blinded by your hate for Avery that you don't see the difference between the two incidents.

[ionizer]

cheats? what aspect of cheating did he coduct? I don't remember seeing him cheat. & for every penalty they call AGAINST avery, there are about 5 penalties they dont call against the other team for what they do to avery, so its understandable the guy is p'd off.

also, ovechkin is a giant pussy, who falls when his stick is hit b/c he uses it as a 3rd leg to skate on. avery would knock him the f out b/c ovechkin is in reality a giant pussy.

the only thing ovechkin has, is a hard, fast shot

[jrbennett99]

that, and more than twice as many goals as any body on the rangers

[ionizer]

dude, i could take a semi retarded kid, let him take as many shots as ovechkin does in a game and he'd likely score that much too

why don't you look at ovechkin's goals per shots ratio and you'll see why he had 56 goals.

[madboost35]

so youre not semi retarded right? you should try out for NHL then when you get in take as many shots as ovechkin and you would be a multi millionere its very simple isnt it?

[piecka32]

See thats not only an insult to ovechkin, but to all the goalies in the NHL. As much as some of them seem to suck and give up stupid goals, they are pretty dam good and would likely maybe let 1 out of 100 in , if the shots were taken by a regular person, not even a semi-retarted child. So think before you speak.

[jrbennett99]

if it was that simple why don't all the players take that many shots, if that is all you have to do wouldn't all the players do it, ever consider that genius?

[JBthree24]

Now you Cap fans, and Bruins fans could relate to us Devil fans. This guy is celebrated by the Rangers only because he cheats and starts shit. thats all. Tortorella was embarrassed

[ckyisyourfuture]

As a Caps fan, I was thoroughly pissed by Avery being signed with the Rangers. I just hope he keeps playing like this, because it'll win us the series.

[njdevilszubrus]

Haha..I was going to say something of that nature, until I looked and saw your comment.

All teams should just rally around what this piece of shit does, and just beat the shit out of him.

He has no right, whatsoever, being in the NHL. Varlamov did the right thing by not reacting to that hit. Just like everyone says, "the worst thing you can do to Avery, is ignore him."

[dc013]

Avery scores goals and is actually a pretty good hockey player, when he's playing hockey.

As for your "beat the shit out of him" that's what he wants, he wants your team to be distracted with trying to get him instead of winning. Don't be surprised to see the Rangers win the next game.

[njdevilszubrus]

"Don't be surprised to see the Rangers win the next game?"

HaHa.. Who are you trying to kid?

[dc013]

Well, they are up 2-1 in the series, indicating they've already won twice. I don't see why it would be unreasonable to think they could win the next game at home, especially now that their rookie goalie has had a taste of Avery.

[nymets6986e]

Rags aren't winning the series. Brash and Erskine are going to be looking out for Avery for the rest of the series and the slightest little thing and they will beat the holy shit out of him. Also Ovie will eventually wake up and sink them.

[mick03112]

Taste of Avery..lol. You actually think that bothered him? The only person it bothered was his coach. He has no clue how to play on a freaking team. It's always been about him and no one else. Varly didn't even look at him, and didn't understand a thing he said. Taste of Avery...please.

[dc013]

And... another win!

[JBthree24]

Don't be surprised if Avery is NOT playing....

[dc013]

He hasn't been suspended, and unless he has the flu will be in the line-up. So... not to sure what you are talking about.

[sueperfly7]

at the end of the 2nd period (4:08 left in the second), avery speared erskine in the face as they got up from a pile in front of the net. no replays were shown on any of the major networks. easily should be a suspension. check the nhl website's highlight package.

[Phil17x]

I saw that too on a replay during the game but they weren't replaying it because of it. I haven't heard anyone say anything about that. I hope Avery gets his ass beat in Game 4.

[swissxy]

how disgraceful

I can't believe this guy is allowed to even play hockey

[kdog2772]

well first of all, ovechkin would probably beat beat avery in a fight, a second of all varlamov doesn't speak english so what hes doing is pointless.

[rpcstryker66]

avery's as bad as chris simon. they should just suspend him indefinitely too...although, chris simon never had an NHL Official Rule named after him, so i guess avery is worse

[nymets6986e]

They both have mental problems.  Simon Hits peole with sticks and stepped on people with skates. Avery just doesn't understand the differ between right and wrong. He went to "intense" therapy as a local paper put it and still doesnt understand it. So the therapy must not have been that bad. HUH?

[ionizer]

if we aren't going to win, we might as well punch someone

woulda preferred to see him knock ovechkin out, but a little goalie harassment makes it all the more exciting

f' all the avery haters

[hockeyrook19]

What an idiot (Sean Avery), youre fully entitled to your opinion "ioniser", but there are Avery haters for a reason - fully justified by plays like this... its not even showing any form of skill or anything, just a beer league cheap shot. Hope he gets killed by someone next game...

[ckyisyourfuture]

Ovechkin would kill Avery. The only person on the Caps that Avery would stand a chance against is Semin.

[cne08]

One day Avery's going to piss off the wrong goalie and they're going to kick his ass.

[Jack5371]

I dont think that too many people will feel sorry for SA whoever it may be eventually does

[JBthree24]

ummm, you're not serious right? wait you are serious, right??? poor sportsmenship
