Sean Avery interview on OTR

[juliansteed]

Anyone else watch this? You can watch it on tsn.ca. The video is buried a bit now by game highlights but it's pretty interesting and a bit awkward at times.

Awkward as in the interview gets a bit sloppy? How many seconds is the whole thing?

 

[juliansteed]

About 20-25 minutes.

Nyuk.

Nyuk.

I got the "sloppy" reference but somehow missed the "seconds" reference.

I guess the guy deserves some credit for sticking around the NHL for as long as he did with what I consider marginal NHL talent, but I just can't get past the fact that he's a complete and utter jackass.

he was really off. I dont know if it was intentional or not but the guy is just out there in how he speaks and acts. he sometimes rambled and most of it made sense but he really made you focus on him to really get what he meant. you can talk to a normal person and just kinda of have a normal focus to get their point but him you really need to be zeroed on him to really understand. hes out there.

Exactly Matty...I don't know if he's on pain medication (or some other pharmaceuticals), but he seemed pretty dopey during the interview.

I guess nothing he says should be considered shocking, but I found it interesting when he was talking about how when he was with the Wings, Steve Yzerman tried to give him some of advice, but he wanted no part of it then and still doesn't today.
