This time he clips Bruins goalie Tim Thomas in the back of the head (a skate-by with absolutely no chance of being unintentional) with his stick after a play as both teams were headed to their benches for a TV time out. Not a violent hit, just Avery once again being the piece of **** that he is...
The best part is that the NHL has 4-officials on the ice every game. Avery is a KNOWN problem. He's VERY easy to see in this one and yet none of the on-ice guys caught the original play. This is a snapshot of what makes the entire Avery situation so damn funny...
They know he's on the ice. He had been his usual ass-hole self all game. The game is in a TV time out and both teams are headed to their benches. Play is NOT going on. You and I and everyone that knows anything about Avery know he's going to do something. He does something with absolutely nobody else around him and Tim Thomas and none of the officials are even looking his way. After it all settles and they show it on the jumbotron a few times, a linesman goes over to the Rangers bench and gets Avery...
And to make this an even better laugh fest, NHLPA Chief Paul Kelly was at the game and was an intermission guest. He talked about the proposed rules changes for hits to the head, instigator stuff, staged fights...
Avery continues to make a mockery of the NHL and it's officials...
You can't make this **** up...
