Sean Avery tweeted that out minutes after the Rangers were shutout by the Canadiens.
Now, Avery isn’t exactly an unbiased observer here.
Back when Tortorella was a commentator on TSN, he tore into Avery after the “sloppy seconds” incident with Dion Phaneuf.
“He’s embarrassed himself, he’s embarrassed the organization,” Tortorella said. “More importantly, he’s embarrassed his teammates, who have to look out for him. It’s the NHL, he’s embarrassed the whole league. Send him home.”
Avery still gets a good amount of press in the hockey world because he's full of opinions, and because most players aren't. His other endeavors and nightlife exploits still make the NY papers.
