Caps coach squeals on Avery
Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau always seemed to couch his comments about Rangers' superpest Sean Avery, possibly because he once coached him and knew Avery's father Al from the Toronto Marlies' minor hockey system. But Boudreau saved an outlandish bit for his new book, Gabby: Confessions Of A Hockey Lifer. Boudreau, who was a bit on the pudgy side since his playing days, relayed that in Game 7 of the Caps - Rangers series last spring, Avery delivered one of his most blistering verbal attacks at ice level. "He told me I was the biggest, fattest bleeping pig he had ever seen," Boudreau said in the book, co-written with Tim Leone. "He told me I was fatter than Ken Hitchcock (the rather rotund coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets). He told me I was going to die because I was such a fat bleep."

Avery, based on his actions over the last few years is trying to be the "bad poster boy: of the NHL, his only problem is that nobody gives a crap. He is just trying to hype a sport that is dying in the US. I personally think he is an a-***ole and I beg for the day for an illegal open ice check that ends his career and shuts him up once and for all. Avery is no different than the TO's and Ocho-****'s in the world". Please just shut the "F" up and play the "GAME" that you get paid millions for.

good lord I too hope for the day an illegal open ice check happens that ends his career. Or perhaps somebody could pull off a Chris Simon.

If he said things like that to a coach in the NHL i would hate to see what he would say stuck in a room full of fat people. Be kinda like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs expression.

Every sport needs heroes and villains. Anyone wishing for someone to get hurt is much worse than someone shouting their mouth off. You want avery out when Chris Simon and those kinda clowns play every game... You might understand once you get out of high school.

I bet Hitch is getting a cut from the sales. Without that little nugget (OK, OK, big nugget) the book might not sell at all.
