"I do not think that the N.H.L. will expel him because of ethical standards, all those moralists. Rather, I believe that the club is unhappy with Avery’s play and here’s an opportunity to part with him.
But you have to know Sean. Yes, he’s a bad guy. But that’s his image. At heart he’s a vulnerable, sentimental man.
And Avery loves trouble, conflict — he likes to attract attention. He had such a life. For Sean it would be worthwhile to become a movie actor. He’d have a classy career in Hollywood. But he is a good hockey player. Believe me: speed, flair, he goes to the net — he’s got all that in him. In a lot of matches Avery was the best player on the «Rangers». If the club trusts him, he’ll always plays well.
I think Sean needs a strong coach, like a Mike Keenan. Like strong gloves to hold a porcupine. Then many scandals simply would not have arisen.
Generally, people with great presumption will never understand Avery and will always consider him a pariah. But I cannot take Sean seriously. I’ve never had problems with him."
