Default Sean Avery back in the headlines with new book

Sean Avery savages John Tortorella in new book -Greg Wyshynski

On respect for John Tortorella:

“Tortorella has a reputation as a hard-ass, but not if you know him as a player. We used to laugh at him all the time. There was always someone in the dressing room who wanted to take their skate and decapitate him or take their stick and whack him over the head with it. Marion Gaborik despised him with every bone in his body. Even Hank Lundqvist, an even-keeled Swede who was usually in his own world, thought Tortorella was a terrible manager of pro athletes. And he can’t skate and stickhandle a puck at the same time, and he doesn’t realize we don’t take him seriously because of that.”

I really doubt that they had kept in contact with him anyways.

He's almost like the Ty Cobb of hockey (Except he didn't near beat a man to death in the stands).

Except Ty Cobb was amazing at the sport, its just that he walked away from it with absolutely no friends or admirers.

Also not surprised to hear that about Torts though. I've heard the same thing about Keenan.

This just in...!!! Some players don't like their coach!!!

Avery is a ######bag and an attention whore and I hope no one - including his mother - buys his book.

An unlikeable guy calling an unlikeable guy unlikeable. Seems about right.
