from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
Unlike Esa Tikkanen, who drove Wayne Gretzky batty, Avery speaks an understandable language and will drop his gloves and fight. Unlike Claude Lemieux, Avery has never bitten anyone’s finger — yet. Unlike Theo Fleury and Ken (The Rat) Linseman, Avery wasn’t a celebrated junior player or even drafted by the NHL.
What he had was a heart as big as his mouth, and a burning, itching desire to make it to the NHL.
“Who was Sean Avery five years ago?” asked St. Louis Blues coach Andy Murray, who coached Avery with the Los Angeles Kings. “Now look at him. Is there a name people know more than his? Sidney Crosby is one. You have to give [Avery] credit for that.”
Fine. Let’s give the man his due.
