Wow, I have never seen something like this happen in a pro sport. Maybe in street basketball or touch football, but even then this kind of stuff is pretty frowned upon. From game 3 of the playoff series between NY and NJ earlier this week, specifically watch the guy in blue pester the goalie:
Yipes, even his own teammate comes over to tell him how ridiculous he's being, or so it appears. Interestingly, the NHL apparently quickly amended its rulebook so as to keep this kind of screening from happening again. It will be interesting to see if this Avery guy survives the postseason, let alone ever dares to set foot in New Jersey again.
And also, Kate and I get to go to game 5 of the Sharks-Flames series in San Jose on Thursday! Should be exciting, it's currently tied 2-2. Assuming there are some power plays in the game, we'll get to see more of our favorite part of Sharks games.

He's a known goon. Talks a lot.
What was more crazy about that was that his team had a 5-on-3 advantage during that stunt. At any time one of his own teammates was liable to drill him in the back, and your back isn't very well padded...
And in the karma department, he did score a goal later in that power play, but his team lost.
