Avery Insulted Boudreau’s Weight

Just once, I’d like to read a story about Sean Avery being a decent human being and acting in a way that shows he appreciates the privilege of being a professional hockey player. So far, it’s just been more and more affirmation of what a douche he is.
Washington Capitals head coach, Bruce Boudreau, has revealed in a new book called Gabby: Confessions of a Hockey Lifer, that Avery made some derogatory comments about his weight during the opening round of last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"He told me I was the biggest, fattest bleeping pig he had ever seen," wrote Boudreau. "He told me I was fatter than bleeping Ken Hitchcock. He told me I was going to die because I was such a fat bleep."
Really? The worst part is that the two of them know each other pretty well since Boudreau coached Avery when he was with the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL in 2003.
I guess it really shouldn’t be surprising and I can appreciate a little trash talk but when you start telling people that they are going to die because they are overweight, you’ve crossed the line. I really can’t stand Avery.
