I can bring you back to earth with one phrase...

Sean Avery, the Terell Owens of hockey.

The Rangers are a much better team with Sean Avery. I like the guy. I understand, and what he said in that interview that got him suspended was stupid, but what these players say to each other on the ice is a lot worse.
He's paid for his mistake, and he's playing well. The refs are not even giving him a fair shake sometimes, it's sickening. This world is a little over the top on this issue if you ask me, and not cuz he's a Ranger now.
Rangers were 51-23 with Avery, then he left.
They are 9-4-3 since his return I think.

[atomic charvel guy]

he's one of the very few reasons the Rangers are worth talking about.

[Rupe]

What did he say in the interview? All I know was that is was supposedly insulting to Dion's girlfriend.

[atomic charvel guy]

who was his ex-girlfriend. he said something like he hoped the rest of the nHL was happy with his sloppy seconds. the alarm bells went off and he was driven out of hockey. it was stupid, a little classless, but it's not like he was profiting off of penguin fights in his backyard or something. gadzooks!!!

[Tekky]

Sorry Tommy, but he's a cancer on the league. Like Terell Owens he has a minimal grasp on the team concept. He makes everything about him. Avery should go back to playing with his dolls and leave the NHL to those who have the heart and desire to play the game.

Glen Sather has made some bad plays in his tenure on Broadway, bringing more attention to a team that is sub-par at best is more like attention whoring than going for the cup.

[atomic charvel guy]

They score 3.3 goals a game now as opposed to 2.3 before he came back.
he's been all hockey since his return.

***Back to topic!***

As much as I'd like for my Canucks take first in our division for 3rd seed in the west, a first round series between the them and Blackhawks would be monumentally entertaining!

[Spivonious]

Yum.


As far as my predictions, I think Flyers take the East and win the cup in a grueling 7 game back-and-forth series with the Sharks.

MVP vote: Ovechkin by a mile. Watching him play is sheer delight. Malkin is pretty good but he doesn't carry the team like Ovechkin does. The only thing I don't like about Alex is the silly goal celebrations.

[Shawn Lutz]

I don't mind Averys game at all, just hate his off ice BS. If he'd just stick to playing hockey and STFU he'd be better for whatever team he plays for.

Avery is a good fit for NYR...especially since Dallas is pickin up 1/2 his tab

[atomic charvel guy]

They're a better team with him than without, that's my point.
the numbers say it all. He's been all hockey since his return, no bullshit
off ice crap, Tortorella even likes him and is praising him, and he was bashing him on versus when that stuff went down. he's playing well, end of story.
He said some stupid shit, he didn't pull a Bertuzzi. He paid for his actions already.
It's a fact. He's done nothing but play hockey since so I say give him a chance.

Now, back to the action-
Important games tonite-
Anaheim- Edmonton
CFBJ's-1 vs. Nashville-1 in the 2nd
Montreal 1-0 over the Hawks
C'mon Ottawa over Florida
Boston-Tampa-not much at stake
Dallas-Kings
Vancouver -Minnesota- tres importante'

That's weak that a comment like that could get him in so much trouble...WEAK!!! I don't like the guy, especially after his playoff antics last year (until the Pens ended his season ), but to go through what he has had to endure over a tasteless (yet humorous) comment, get real.

NHL has been on a hair trigger though about those things since the Todd Bertuzzi incident though. You can say it on the ice fine, but I think when you do it in front of a camera you're just calling a guy out. I did find the comments funny though.

Btw, Flyers are in striking distance of the Devils. Maybe if they can build some consistency, win the game in hand they have on New Jersey, than can catch them. But they've floundered every chance to catch them this year, so they'll likely do it again.
