Jay Greenberg of The New York Post reports this incident during yesterday's game..."Sean Avery , apparently angered by a second-period penalty call against him during the New York Rangers ' 1-0 shootout victory over the Bruins yesterday at Madison Square Garden, hurled two water bottles from the penalty box, one of which whizzed by the heads of three small children seated behind the box.
That bottle smashed against a wall, soaking customers, and angering an unidentified father of two of them, who came down to the glass and demonstratively showed Avery the bottle.
The family - sought out by Avery after the period - was given one of his sticks and, according to Rangers spokesman John Rosasco, was satisfied with the response."
...C'mon Sean those are your fans. Save the water bottle toss for the Flyer fans.
...a little bit of an overreaction by the father as I'm sure the two kids probably loved that they were hit by water thrown by Avery. Great job by Avery giving the kids a stick.

I was fortunate to be at the game yesterday, and actually witnessed this. The reason Avery was so miffed was because he was sort of pinned at the legs... and was the only one given a penalty. I could see he was angered on his way to the box.
I actually was amused by it, and figure the people sitting in that area wouldn't be. So be it. You are given warning sitting in this area things fly off the ice... typically pucks. Figure it would be more fodder for the media, which I'm sure it is.
I was glad to see he didn't get further enraged and take it to the ice. He calmed himself, and regained composure. And it was a nice gesture on his part to bring the stick over.
Avery lost his head, and don't think he realized he had such a slice to his water bottle throwing talents.
Gambling is illegal at Bushwood and I never slice.
Some rich guy who probably doesn't know the first thing about hockey was miffed. Big deal! If he would've hit the guys on purpose than there'd be a reason to complain.
surprise surprise...Sean Avery is a jerk....just like all the rangers fans
