Sloppy seconds? Seriously? The NHL's collective feathers are ruffled over this?
Still, reactions from Marty Turco, Mike Modano, Brad Richards and Mike Ribeiro show that this Sean Avery experiment isn't exactly going well. We're only in December and the team is already clearly exasperated.
Obviously, Avery needs father figures and/or players who obviously wear the pants. In Detroit, he was just some annoying gnat of an undrafted free agent in a locker room full of larger than life personalities. After that, he's been in big markets where hockey isn't exactly the main event (LA, New York and Dallas) so he could cultivate his bad boy image without the necessary "But he's actually not all that productive" backlash.
It keeps feeding that gluttonous Avery ego. Don't expect it to stop anytime soon.
Is it already safe to call this a lost season for Dallas?
