As we continue to learn more about Bill Peters allegedly assaulting players during his time in Carolina, Sean Avery has joined the conversation with a similar story about former Kings coach Marc Crawford. Avery, who retired after the 2011-12 season, told Larry Brooks of the New York Post that Crawford kicked him during a game while the two were with the Kings in 2006-07. “He kicked me after a too-many-men-on-the-ice call I took,” Avery said. “He didn’t have me serve it, we got scored on, and he let me have it.” The incident occurred on December 23, 2006 against Nashville, according to Brooks. The Kings were handed a too-many-men penalty at 19:18 of the second period, during which J.P. Dumont scored the Predators’ sixth goal in a 7-0 victory. After the goal, Avery said that Crawford came down to the end of the bench to deliver a message. “You know how I stand at the end of the bench? He came down and gave me an ass kick that left a mark.” According to Brooks, Avery found the incident more bemusing than upsetting at the time, and believes it wasn’t the reason for his trade to the New York Rangers later that season. “That was because I squared off with and tried to fight Mark Hardy, who was one of our assistant coaches, on the ice.” Crawford is now an assistant coach with the Chicago Blackhawks. Avery’s accusation comes days after Bill Peters was fired from his role as head coach of the Calgary Flames after he was accused of making racist remarks and physically abusing players. Former NHLer Akim Aliu took to Twitter to reveal that Peters had directed racist remarks towards him when the two were with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs in 2019-10. The next day, former Hurricanes defenceman Michal Jordan shared a story on Twitter that alleged Peters was physically abusive and kicked him and punched another player in the head during a game several years ago. https://sports.yahoo.com/sean-avery-says-former-kings-coach-marc-crawford-kicked-him-during-a-game-192019991.html I sure hope no one takes this one seriously because Crawford is a good guy, Avery deserves it, and that's sports.

Given his issues when the Canucks had him and some of the things happening on the DTES, it's probably the best thing to have him out of Vancouver.

Let's all take a step back and look how far the team has come along.

After yesterday, I'll keep my faith as long as Markstrom is re-signed and Demko is allowed to ride the pine for at least a couple more seasons. -
So first I am dense, now I am a troll? Yet you are the one who just keep on attacking. You can't have a healthy disagreement without calling names? As I have said over and over again, my problem is waiting 10 years to talk about this. Not one, not two but ten. Even the court of law has a statute of limitations.

I am not talking about others anymore, I am talking about you. What gives you the right to attack me just because you have a difference of opinion than I do. I'm calling foul on you. Are you trying to bully me into your way of thinking? I understand the abuse of power thing but I also understand to handle my own business instead of airing out my dirty laundry. I did not ignore the others, as I said there is difference of opinion.

Good god man, do you have to result in attacking people because someone has a different opinion than you? You can say I am dense for not seeing things your way but at the same time, I can say the same about you. It's interesting how you can advocate for the bullying of racial slurs yet you do the same when others don't see things your way. Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

I do come from a people of color and I have had to deal with my share of racism but I am not going to a victim to it. If someone comes at me with racism or ignorance I will fight back regardless of the consequences. But to go out in public and try to have the guys livelihood destroyed through this cancel culture? I am sure this guy must have more than just Peter's hurl a racial slur at him. Why stop at Peter's? Why not name everyone? And while we are at it, we should have everyone of color come out and air their instances of racism. That way the court of public opinion can come down properly on everyone.

Drummed up the courage? When someone is racist towards you, the courage comes out at that time more than anything because of the anger that is coursing through your body not ten years later. And why is Babcock even dragged into this. He was a jerk of a coach not a racist. Good examples of things that happened and got dealt with within the same time frame. Not something that was revisited ten years aftern the fact. The league has gotten better on this over the years that that is because when things like tahat happened, Simmonds, Ward and Subban said something about it at the time. Not wait ten years.
