On NHL Network today, they said that both coaches were warned during the intermission that if anyone did what Avery did again, that team would be given a penalty. They didn’t know which penalty could be given though. The best they could come up with was a 2 minute unsportsmanlike conduct. If Avery hit Brodeur then obviously it could be goaltender interference or highsticking. Here comes the league changing the rules mid-season again!! I’m sure it’ll be something along the lines of football’s faceguarding penalty. At least that’s what it reminded me of. ---

Theres a big difference between Kaleta and Avery… Kaleta takes clean shots and plays hard. Averys more of a “Matt Barnaby” in your face kinda prick > [@j\_espo1](#): > > ^ i dont understand what the big deal is if a player stands facing a goaltender and isnt watching the play. > > didnt see what Avery did, anyone want to enlighten me? He stood in front of the goalie right in Brodurs face with his stick and hands in his face…kinda like the “im not touching you” game. Go on youtube…im sure its there. ---

“An unsportsmanlike conduct minor penalty (Rule 75) will be interpreted and applied, effective immediately, to a situation when an offensive player positions himself facing the opposition goaltender and engages in actions such as waving his arms or stick in front of the goaltender’s face, for the purpose of improperly interfering with and/or distracting the goaltender as opposed to positioning himself to try to make a play.” taken from [nhl.com](http://nhl.com) ---

> [@j\_espo1](#): > > ^ i dont understand what the big deal is if a player stands facing a goaltender and isnt watching the play. > > didnt see what Avery did, anyone want to enlighten me? Avery made headlines across the hockey world Sunday night when, during a 5-on-3 power play, he stood with his back to the play and waved his arms in front of Brodeur to distract the goalie. At another point, he also held his stick in front of Brodeur’s mask and waved the stick back and forth in another attempt at distraction. ---
