Ok, so you know how the 2 kids come out at the beginning of the game with Habs flags, and give a skate around before standing on each side of the Canadiens exit. Well I was at the Rangers game on Tuesday, and Avery went to the Rangers bench before the Habs hit the ice,(there is a door to the bench right there, one of 2 doors I must point out) and actually blocked the kid from waving the Canadiens flag. Now I don't know if this is something that he always does and nobody takes notice anymore. I was sure I would hear something about this, and I haven't so I gotta speak out here.
I know that Avery is what he is, I really don't like the guy but I understand that he's doing his job on the ice, but picking on kids? C'mon, somebody's gotta create some stink about this.
BTW- The kid didn't wave the flag the whole time the Habs were coming out of the dressing room, I don't know if he just scared the kid or it's possible that he said something to him.(you know like "get outta my way kid" being a best case scenario, could've been much worse.)
I would think that the NHL would be against having their players frightening children, I mean really I'm speachless, what can I say?
