Avery confronts NHL broadcaster Hayward

LOS ANGELES (CP) - Sean Avery can't seem to get enough of the spotlight.

The Los Angeles Kings player had a heated verbal exchange with Anaheim broadcaster and former NHL goalie Brian Hayward in the dressing room Friday before players and media.

Hayward, a former Montreal Canadiens goalie, criticized Avery during Tuesday's Anaheim broadcast and accused him of running away from a confrontation with the Ducks' Todd Fedoruk. Hayward was doing prep work for Saturday's Ducks-Kings game on NBC when he visited the Kings' dressing room Friday, only to be welcomed by a profanity-laced tirade from Avery, according to the Los Angeles Times. Hayward stood his ground.

"You're an embarrassment," the Times quoted Avery as saying and Hayward responded by saying, "You want to see an embarrassment? Look in the mirror, Sean."

Avery walked towards Hayward at one point but was pulled away by assistant coach Ray Bennett.

"You're the reason the league doesn't have a national television deal. You're a (terrible) announcer and you were a (terrible) player," Avery said during the exchange.

Hayward responded: "How would you know? When I played, you were in your third year of eighth grade."

Love that witty repartee by Hayward!  Maybe a former goalie turned announcer who has a bit of a brain?  Obviously the Hab training ground had a positive effect.............

Avery should watch out because Hayward's other sporting passion is Karate and he had a black belt in it while with the Habs... I doubt he has let his skills slip...

Avery picking on Hayward?   Is he nuts?   If anyone remembers Hayward from his Montreal days, he can easily stand up for himself.   Way to go Haysee!

Also, if you pick a fight with someone who has the power to lambast you over the airwaves night after night, do you honestly think you're going to win?

What a maroon!

My favorite Avery moment was when LA was playing Calgary and Avery took a run at Iggy. Iggy turned around, dropped the gloves and laid into him as if Avery just had relations with his mother.

Not really fair of Hayward getting into a battle of wit and brains with an unarmed man
