Like you guys have said Avery shouldn't be on that list. Avery may be hated by his peers, but it’s for his trash talking not for his dirty play. They list the Smid incident and that immediately sky rockets him to #2 on the list? I agree that was a cheap shot, but there are still many that didn’t even think that play was cheap. He certainly has a reputation for being disliked, but I’ve never heard players say that Avery intentionally tried to injure them.
Burrows speared Staal in the nuts 3 weeks ago, does that automatically mean he’s a dirty player? I don’t think so. One play doesn’t make someone a dirty player. I don't know enough about Burrows to say he's not dirty, just saying based on that one incident I won't say he is
I think Kaleta should be A LOT higher. I’d say that if Cooke is #1A then Kaleta is #1B
There’s a huge difference between trash talking and trying to injure someone. Sticks & stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you
