Stars’ Morrow will have to learn how not to hate Avery
Brenden Morrow admits he has said he hates Sean Avery. In public. The Dallas Stars captain does a weekly radio show and recalls a few times when he said on the air that he was bothered by the antics of the player who has been voted most hated in the NHL in multiple player surveys. The day after Avery signed a four-year, $15.5 million contract with the Stars, Morrow wasn’t entirely ready to back off those comments.
"I have said ‘hate,’ and I imagine if we wouldn’t have signed him, I would have said I still hate him," Morrow said Thursday. "But he’s a teammate now, and I’ll admit that I don’t really know him other than what I see on the ice. So now we need to get to know each other and work together as teammates."
Morrow said it is now his job - and the job of his teammates - to let Avery know what’s acceptable.
"There are things here that we will talk about," Morrow said. "We feel we have something special going on here, and we feel we are a good team. And I have no problem with what he does as a player or how he works hard or gets people upset. But some of the stuff that makes the individual more important than the team, that’s not something we want to see here."
