just heard on the drive home that a NY rangers player stated avery was trash talking to blake and mentioned something about his cancer during the pre game warm up. Hopefully the nhl gets involved (hello mr bettman) and suspends his ass.
SEAN AVERY IS A PIECE OF SHIT!

That's very classless if he was refering to blakes cancer.No need to tease someone that is sick .
Avery and tucker were really going at it saturday night. Looks like a new fued is brewing,remember when tucker was fueding with the isles.
Avery is an agitating piece of shit someone needs to kick his teeth in.

Avery is guilty of being an idiot. If you want to piss Blake off by bringing up his illness, don't do it in Toronto where everything you say is magnified 1000 X. What he's alleged to have said is terrible and inexcuseable,but it doesn't warrant a suspension of any kind. Let's all get a grip
AVERY: I WAS LIBELED
November 13, 2007 -- TORONTO - Sean Avery is preparing to file a libel charge against a Toronto radio personality who reported yesterday that Saturday's pregame skirmish between the Rangers' winger and the Maple Leafs' Darcy Tucker was incited by Avery referring to Jason Blake's cancer condition, The Post has learned.
Advised by his attorney to decline public comment, Avery has privately denied the charge as broadcast by Howard Berger over The Fan 590.
Berger cited an unnamed Rangers player as the original source of the report.
Tucker, who called Avery "classless" after the match, engaged in a first-period fight with the Rangers' antagonist, but that appeared to be no more than a renewal of the rivalry between the agitators, who also fought April 1 at the Garden.
No other Maple Leaf - including former Islander Blake, who continues to play after recently being diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, and was among the dozen or so players from both teams surrounding the pregame scrum - challenged the winger in the game.
Maple Leafs coach Paul Maurice, who surely would have been aware of such comments had they actually been made, said after the game that he had no problem with Avery's pregame antics.
The Post has learned that Avery has been summoned for a hearing here today with NHL Executive VP Colin Campbell.
While Avery is likely to be fined and receive a warning from the league's disciplinary office, he is not expected to be suspended.
