With the Wings down 3-0, Avery challenges Linden and they drop them at center ice. Another Canuck grabbed at Avery, distracting him for a moment. Trevor tried to seize the opportunity, but just missed with a right. Linden threw and landed a couple rights followed by a couple rights by Avery which only appeared to graze Linden. Trevor tries for another right but misses and his momentum brings him down to the ice. Avery throws 1 more as Linden is down.

Feb 04, 2002	2pd 17:21	DET	@ COL	Dan Hinote
During a scrum in front of Hasek, away from the pile the 2 pests start yapping. A little glove wigglin and there they go! It's a far-away camera view to start, but Avery appears to land 1, 2, 3, 4...make that 5 straight rights on Hinote. Hard to tell exactly where they landed. Dan wants to take part in this scrap so he tosses a right of his own, but misses. Sean misses with a right, then grazes Hinote with another. Avery feels Hinote's helmet isn't needed, so he rips it off. Each miss a few more, then do a little tuggin and pullin. Each trying to get free, Dan lands to the back of Sean's helmet while Sean misses a right. They both now get an arm free and are looking to drop a few bombs. Both chuck big ones and land. They're not done...wham! Again each land a big one with Hinote's shots looking to be the harder of the two. Dan misses a right, Avery lands to the back of the head, then another, followed by a short Hinote right. The linesman come in with both men giving a little nod to each other. Nice scrap. Other Penalties: Jesse Wallin received an interference.

Muckalt was just holding Avery around the waist after Avery landed a couple of decent rights to Muckalt's face. Muckalt ducks his head and gets a 10 on the big body slam he puts on Avery.

Mar 09, 2002	2pd 03:02	DET	@ STL	Tyson Nash
Camera moves in with Avery landing about 2 or 3 short noogie shots. Nash has his head down as his helmet comes over his face. Tyson misses with a blind, wild right. His helmet's completely off now as Nash goes for Avery's leg looking for the early takedown. But Avery keeps his balance and lands an uppercut to Tyson's shoulder. Another right by Avery just out of reach. Sean controlling the fight so far, but nothing of significance landed yet. Avery lands to the back of the head. Nash desperately trying to get his arm free. Avery misses with a big left and his momentum put him in a bad position. Tyson Nash gets his arm out of the jersey and now its his turn. He lands 1 helmet shot, then fires a vicious haymaker that would've landed Sean in the minors if it connected (but doesn't). He misses 2 more, then finally appears to land 1. Both toss a couple with Avery missing 2 lefts and Nash landing to the shoulder. A big right thrown by Nash, but couldn't tell if it landed. Avery goes to throw a left, but is greeted with a solid right to his jaw. Nash misses 2 more, with the second allowing Avery to get the takedown.

Mar 13, 2002	3pd 02:45	@ DET	EDM	Scott Ferguson
Started as a battle for the puck along the boards behind the Oilers' net. Ferguson was all over Avery. Avery turned to face Ferguson and they looked ready to go. But they didn't just yet. They skated around the net and Avery dropped his gloves and started first. Ferguson dropped his right away and the fight was on. Avery started with some good rights, maybe 5, but it was hard to see if they landed or not because the linesman got in the way of the camera. Ferguson tried to tie up the right, but that wasn't working, so he decided to throw some left hand shots. The first two landed rather stiff, as they made Avery stop punching and duck his head. Ferguson followed those two punches up with about 4 more lefts but they didn't land too well. Avery came back with some more rights that didn't seem to connect, then Avery pulled off a pretty good move, ducking under Ferguson's left arm and coming out the other side, leaving the back of Ferguson's head wide open. Avery couldn't capitalize on this as Ferguson went down.

Mar 23, 2002	3pd 09:56	DET	@ COL	Pascal Trepanier
Maltby is pushed into Roy and Patrick doesnt like it one bit. The 2 start jostling in the net and a major league scrum breaks out. Gloves litter the ice. Dominik Hasek decides to get involved and skates down the ice to go after Roy. Unfortunately, just as Dom arrives he slips on a stick and the linesman are able to intervene. Both goalies wanted to get it on! In the mean time, the only real fight is along the boards with Avery and Trepanier. Pascal basically just tries to hold on as Avery lands a few rights. Trepanier's lip is bleeding pretty bad and blood is on his jersey. Other Penalties: Kirk Maltby for goaltender interference; Patrick Roy for roughing; Dominik Hasek for leaving the crease.
