Avery Likes Thornton?

What a crazy world. I found this article through Puck Daddy in the Detroit News about agitators, which contained this memorable quote:
When he was with the Red Wings, Avery mocked Eric Lindros, then with the Rangers, following Canada’s 2002 Olympic championship.
“Did you get a gold medal?” Avery asked Lindros while lining up for a faceoff. “You don’t deserve it. Give it to Joe Thornton. He wasn’t on the team, but he was better.”
Classic. And by the way, most recent podcast here.
