So then why were the Leafs so pissed off at him?

That we're less scum than Avery?

Don't let the facts that many ex-teammates have publicly stated how bad and disliked he is in the lockerroom get in the way of your personal admiration and feelings towards him.
Personally, I find it funny that when Forsberg gets his spleen tore apart by Norstrom, people around here thought it was great, were praising Norstrom, and laughing at Forsberg. When it happens to Avery though - god forbid anybody do the same.
