Avery Went After Crosby

from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
It happened in the neutral zone, away from the puck.
Avery, the New York Rangers’ resident coward, came up from behind—as cowards often do—and took two chopping slashes at Crosby’s left wrist....
In a quieter moment after yesterday’s media session, I asked Crosby if he thought Avery was trying to injure him.
“He wasn’t going for the puck,” Crosby said. “He was going for my wrist.”
A call to the Rangers’ media relations office yesterday seeking comment from Avery wasn’t returned.
Carefully choosing his words, Crosby went on.
“Obviously, he was trying to make me feel it a bit,” he said. “I don’t know if it was a direct intent to hurt me or anything. ... I guess he was just letting me know that he’s there.”
