Avery sour on Grapes - NHL Forum

NHL tough guy Sean Avery reopened his feud with Don Cherry this week by stating the CBC commentator knows next to nothing about hockey.

“He's a staple as far as Canadian hockey goes,” Avery said during interview on the CBC's The Hour. “And I grew up watching Coach's Corner, and he serves a purpose.

“But he really does not know shit about hockey."

“He knows, like, unnecessary facts about putting Sears catalogues on your shin pads.”

Host George Stroumboulopoulos interjected with, “No, no, no.”

“He says a lot of things,” continued Avery. “He calls people by their wrong names. And it's just, like, enough of this guy.”

Last spring, Cherry called Avery a jerk on Hockey Night In Canada after a trash-talking episode at the Air Canada Centre involving the Toronto Maple Leafs' Darcy Tucker and Jason Blake.

Cherry said Avery needed to be “straightened out”.

Avery is a real class act with that waiving routine in the crease last year ion the playoffs Chris Drury his own player tried to push him out of the Jersey crease as what he was doing was such a joke and Avery is saying enough already about Cherry? C'mon Avery is like school on Sunday, No Class!
