Rangerfags? Do you think the NHL recent "rule" change is bullshit?
A) Avery should be proudB) It's not that big of a dealC) OLD TIME HOCKEY
>>62782what avery did was the exact opposite of old time hockey.
Is there a clip of what he did somewhere? I didn't watch the game.

>>62784butthurt devilsfag
Avery was playing like a little 10 year old shit.
Wow, Avery gets away with doing that for a good 45 seconds yet Holmstrom gets sent to the box the second his toe crosses over into the crease.
/r/ gif of Avery trolling
He wouldn't have been doing that if Stevens was still playing.
It's too bad we can't go back to the days of Ron Hextall.
I miss Scott Stevens.
>>62782...how is it old time hockey? Old Time Hockey would be either be punching brodeur, or brodeur dropping the gloves on avery.
>>62811Avery was playing olde tyme, Brodeur wasn't returning the favor.If Brodeur pushed him over or punched him in the face that would be good hockey
>>62825no old time hockey player would pull such a dick move.
>>62825Once again: flailing your stick in the air infront of the goalie's face, akin to a little kid saying "I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you." is NOT "old time hockey."
the term "old time hockey" needs to stop being thrown about.
>>62811Thanks to the instigator rule, no one could have went over and slugged Avery, without getting a penalty. :(>>62806Hextall would have shattered Avery's ankle.
If the instigator didn't exist I can guarantee you someone would have pulled him from the front of the net and started wailing on him. But because no one wants to take that game misconduct penalty Avery just got to dick around.Personally I loved it. It's a dick move, but it's something I had never seen before. Kudos to the NHL for reacting so quickly though, even though you probably could have called un-sportsmanlike on Avery regardless.
Doing what it takes to win whether it be goonery or acting like a dick is "old-time hockey."Could you see the Hanson Brothers doing it? Old-time Hockey.
>>62838Hockey was never like how it is depicted in Slapshot.Sure there was goonery and genuine hate for other players, but shit like that never flew. Avery brings back a taste of what hockey used to be like but no one ever sat infront of the net waving their stick like a moron to try and get into a goalies head.
>>62841The problem for you is, the popular interpretation of "old-time hockey" comes directly from Slapshot. Do you really think that term would exist without the Hansons?
Would you rather see someone acting like an ass in front of the goalie, or someone being hit blind sided or their face crosschecked into the boards?\Pro sports could do with a little schoolyard trash talking type antics.Better than grown men being paid to injure one another.
>>62865I don't know if you realize this, but Slapshot did not invent hockey.
I don't care if you get a penalty and a 10 munute misconduct, you take Avery's head off within seconds of that shit.
>>62906They should, so the Rangers could score another PP goal.
>>63638IF THEY DID THEY WOULD HAVE WON ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Absolutely not.
It was funny when i was watching it live, but I'm glad there wont be a repeat performance.
>>62889But it did invest the term "Old Time Hockey" with goonery and shenanigans.Face it, bub, you were wrong.
That is fucking hilarious. I'd watch hockey if players did that more often
>>63725Not really. But I'll let you feel how you want to feel. It's cool man.
>Not really. But I'll plug my ears and pretend I'm right. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
Not a rule change, just a better interpertation of the same rule because they can't allow douchebag no skill goons like Avery bend the rule like that. Not a NJfag by the way.
What a faggot. Goonery and blatantly starting fights is one thing, but I don't see how anybody can defend this blatant faggotry. He looks like a 5 year old boy with a finger in his sister's face.Penalty's be damned, if anybody had done that to my goalie I would have beaten the shit out of him.
Avery is hockey's greatest troll
Jesus christ, he scored on that play, too. Avery is the fucking man!
The incident only went to show what a faggot Brodeur really is. He should have knocked Avery out.
As long as he's not in the crease, he has the right to act like a giant faggot voodoo dancer.
The best part about it is that it fucking worked.And THATS what pissing everyone off.
>>63842They lost the game.
I have no idea why someone hasn't taken a serious run at this asshole yet. Hell, im positive cambell would give the offender a discount on his suspension since it was against avery.
>>63836No, he does not.
>>63844they scored on that play
You fucking butthurt devil fans are so off the track.Avery found a way to troll Martie Brodeur without violating a rule.Kudos to that intelligent troll.
>>64071Oh I admit, I lol'd when it happened, and it is clever, but the Devils defense have to step up and take him out. Even if someone would have stepped in between Avery and Brodeur it would have solved the problem.
