Avery Awarded for Trash Talking

Scott Cruickshank at The Calgary Herald writes an article on the NHL's biggest trash talkers. Guess which Ranger is ranked #1...

What isn't so hot, what isn't so G-rated, is what pops out of Avery's pie-hole.

"He's got a pretty smart mouth," says (Anahiem Duck George) Parros. "He's definitely not afraid to cross the line. That's why he has no respect from most of the guys in the league, including myself."

Wise Crackers
1. Sean Avery, New York Rangers -- Undisputed king/clown of potty-mouthed noise.
2. Alex Burrows, Vancouver Canucks -- Loud patter a point of pride for chirping checker.
3. Steve Ott, Dallas Stars -- Pepperpot drives opponents batty with non-stop barbs.
4. Jared Boll, Columbus Blue Jackets -- Freshman fighting plenty, talking even more.
5. Zach Stortini, Edmonton Oilers -- Makes up for lack of originality with loud repetition.


...pretty funny stuff. Shanahan actually makes an appearance in the article.
