Former NHL star Sean Avery ripped the “woke fucktards” of the world in a short Instagram video Sunday praising New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe, who has gotten into four fights in his first five games.
“You don’t get to work from home. No, you gotta show up on your first day of work and you gotta fight another man in Matt Martin,” Avery said.
“So all you woke fucktards at home, you think you have it tough? This kid had to go to work on his first day of work in the NHL,” he continued. “He had to fight another man in a fucking … in a gladiator Octagon.”

The softies of the world are saying that the rookie can’t do this every night, that fighting people every chance you get is “unsustainable.”
I asked #NYR coach Peter Laviolette if Matt Rempe fighting every game is sustainable or if he has to have a conversation with him:
“There’s conversations all the time. We don’t ever not have conversations about what’s going on. The players are out on the ice and things happen…

Can you weenies shut your traps? The dude is 6 feet and 8 inches of pure savagery. If he wants to throw haymakers every game, who are you to stop him?
