Former New York Rangers enforcer, Sean Avery, doesn't hold back while issuing a very statement on an Original-Six organization during recent interview on the Spittn' Chiclets podcast.
Sean Avery has recently made an intriguing appearance on Spittin' Chiclets, as he openly revealed his trust for former teammate, captain and now currently the General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings, Steve Yzerman.
Considering Avery's recent take on the New York Rangers and head coach Mike Sullivan, it's really surprising to hear the things he as to say about the Red Wings.
Sean Avery Has Nothing But Good Things To Say About The Detroit Red Wings
Avery and Yzerman played together for a few years, and it's safe to say the Wings GM earned Avery's respect.
During the interview, Avery revealed that he believes Yzerman and the Red Wings will get it done. Along with that he openly stated that during Yzerman's time as a player and captain he knew how to manage and build a winning team.
The former enforcer who tallied over 1,500 penalty minutes during his 10-year NHL career, split between the Rangers, Red Wings, Kings, and Stars, even openly stated he would "go to war" for the Wings.
Here's what he had to say:
"Two things about Stevie. When Stevie was the captain, Stevie and Ken Holland had a tight relationship. So when guys rolled into camp, if a guy came into camp and he was a big ticket guy and he wasn't ready to go, that conversation between Steve and that player, it was rock solid because the player that wasn't bringing it knows that if Stevie goes to Kenny and says he's done, he's out.
And they had that relationship because you can't just build a team from the press box. You have to have input from the guys in the room.
Now, as far as Stevie's scouting room, I'll go to war with that scouting room.
And I think they're going to get it done."

I certainly think Avery is rooting for the wrong team here, but then again it's own opinion that he's entitled to.
