About This Page: This is a discussion on NHL News within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Where Avery stood face-to-face with Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils in the first round and waved his hands in his face, Shanahan stood with his back to Fleury
Where Avery stood face-to-face with Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils in the first round and waved his hands in his face, Shanahan stood with his back to Fleury and made more of a sweeping motion with his arms during Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Pens.
Avery's tactics drew a vow from the NHL that any further antics would result in an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty but Shanahan did not get whistled down. However, the Penguins professed no alarm about this because, they said, the referees told them if the Rangers scored a goal it would have been disallowed.
“The ref said if there was a goal it would be called off,” Penguins defenceman Hal Gill said. “I don't think [Shanahan] was really doing anything, just standing in the crease. I don't know if it was a tactic with him or he was just trying to be a distraction.”
I've screened plenty of goalies on hundreds of shots... moving my stick and hands in their face was never part of the deal and we scored plenty of times with my just chilling out front with a defender or two trying to move me. Guys that do it need to be run, damn instigator rule.

Tonga 4 LIFE!!!
Waving your arms around like a fairy in front the opposing goaltender isn't professional hockey, it's street ball and he should get his ass kicked for it either way.

Because it's Avery..... the NHL should have stayed out of it and let the teams' players deal with anyone who was willing to pull that kind of stunt.
I think Avery throws some cash at the linesmen during warm-ups. They are so quick to jump in to make sure he doesn't take a beating whenever a scrum ensues.
Why does Shanahan get different treatment than Avery? I think there are more reasons for this than Gretzky has goals.
