boogaard only got punches to the body and shoulder pad, gillies popped boogaards helmet off. besides, i could care less, we have an excellent heavyweight fighter for 1/3 the cost! and without concussion/shoulder issues.
Hamonic would of destroyed Avery worse than Haley did.
Haley's a much better fighter than Hamonic IMO, Hamonic maybe bigger but Haley is really well put together and has impressive power.
I dislike avery alot. But all Haley did was punch him in the back of the head,you can see the cut was from when they both went to the ice.
Avery's cut was from Haley's initial couple of shots. Watch it again and you can see that Avery was bleeding well before he went down.

this thread is for fish and debbie fans that have nothing else to discuss for the rest of the season.
Good on Avery, looks like he's been dropping em more this season, has fought guys like Clarkson, Asham and Haley.
As much as the guys a ********* he doesn't injure folks, and has some skill to add to that agitation. You hate him, but you love to hate him.

Take away the Smid incident and Avery is usually a straight up decent fighter. When he was a LA King he fought quite a bit and really didn't dodge anyone except McGrattan and Hordichuk who he had no business fighting anyways.
Avery isn't a fighter. He lost a fight he wasn't going to win, big deal.
The guy plays to win. Nothing wrong with that. Sure the beak in the interview about the sloppy seconds was crossing the line. But screening Brodeur the way he did was just to get him (Brodeur) off his game and it worked. It may have been over the top but the bottom line was that the Rangers won. Avery doesn't act like a tough guy/fighter he never has. He is an agitator, clearly the best in the NHL, look at all of you guys pissed off at him.
Also, Avery tries to fight "non-fighters" to help his team out. Take their worthwhile players off the ice instead of scrapping some "heavyweight" duster that is a league-wide joke. See: Trevor Gillies

I love Haley but no way could he handle Boogaard. Yes he fought Fritz but Fritz is all size and little fight/balance. Kinda like Vlabik.

Frans Nielsen?!?!?
I love the trolltastic comments in this thread like 'Avery gets hotter girls than you'. Profound analysis from keyboard warriors.

lol at the creator of this thread. Avery has fought plenty of fighters this season. and for all the people that whine about avery always surprising people, if haley didn't come out of nowhere and already have avery lined up then idk what he did.

Oh come on. Avery went for his patented quick glove schuck and whirl around firing not knowing who was jawing him from behind. He caught a few fists with his face for his trouble.

Haley didn't throw a sucker punch or anything like that. It was fair and Avery's eye liner was streaming down his face. Avery knew what he was in for and took the fight which i give him credit.
Avery was messing with a rookie who is not a fighter and once again our team backs up its players.
Can you provide the list of fighters Avery has taken on? Not being sarcastic just wondering

Haley is 5"9 there is now way he could handle Boogy nor should he have to since Boogy is a heavy weight. And for all NYR talking about NYI goons...look who you signed in the offseason and haley can play hockey

I don't want to hear about Avery fighting Clarkson. He "fought" Clarkson 2x in his career.
The first time, Clarkson took him
Still, Avery fought him and stood his ground decently.
Then for the next 3 years Clarkson continually tried to get Avery to fight, with Avery avoiding him...
That's his move... he shakes his glove, trying to get the other guy to instigate first.
They "fought" a second time. Really, i'm pretty sure Avery was trying to goat Clarkson into another instigator... while shaking his gloves. Pretty sure the refs told him he had to drop the gloves.
You can say I'm biased, but I don't think so. It looks like Avery doesn't want to fight... and takes an exaggerated swing w/ his right hand... and continues to follow through / Fall down to end the fight. I know, momentum and all... but that's what i see there. And considering they hadn't fought for 3 years (and they play eachother A LOT), that's what i'm going to believe.
And listen, yea Clarkson is bigger. I understand that... i wouldn't find Clarkson either. But I'm sick of hearing how he "takes on Clarkson." He doesn't, he's scared to fight him again. He'll go after Kovalchuk, who is bigger than Clarkson.

Good one. Hamonic is a good WHL boy who can throw'em when the time is right. He's flushed more courage down the toilet this morning than Avery has ever had in his life. Hamonic could kick the absolute **** out of 99% of NHL'ers his age, as a rookie that's enough.
Good to see Haley make an absolute fool out of Avery.

The only reason why he was doing that was because torts wouldve rode his ass to the pine. He was taking bad penalties all season long and torts wanted none of it. Torts neutered avery, hes a no nonsense coach and my bet is avery wont be on the team next year.
