3-0 WOOOOOOOOOO!!!....Sean Avery had a great game,he got the devils completely off their game from the get-go and especially in the third when they tried to go after him.Clarkson ragged doll avery around but Avery was smart as eh had no need to fight with the Rangers up 3-0 and Clarkson got kicked out of the game and the Rangers got the PP.Avery got 2 Mins for........I don't know.I suspect if he knew he was going to get a penalty he woul have fought.Besides Avery the Rangers played awesome,everyone played good,every single player except Wade Redden.Rangers move up to 89 pts and a 3 pt cushion on the Habs who are eight overall.

So tonight is the night Avery vs Blowdoor
for the first time as a Ranger since last april when Avery and the Rangers embarrassed Blwodoor and the devils knocking them out in 5 games and padding Farty with his worst playoff series ever.Tat was the famous series of course which led to the Avery rule and the series in which Avery called Blowdoor fatso and also called him out for not shaking his hand following defeat.
I for one would love to see Avery plow over Blowdoor and screen him again but neother will happen because of the new rule and because Avery will need to be careful with the refs.He is a target and you can be assured these refs will probably give him 2 mins for looking at Farty.Here is what Torts has to say about Avery vs the devils tonight
"I think Sean is smart enough to understand what this game means to us," Tortorella said yesterday. "They're looking to get (a higher playoff seed), and we're trying to get in - that overrides everything. ... Worrying about the other stuff, and all the shenanigans that go on, it can't happen. We have to play."
I do expect Avery and Clarkson to have a fight.But besides this the Ranger desperately need 2 pts with Montreal and the Panther right on their heels.
LGR!!!

Avery's treatment
After the game against the Pens here's what some players and John Tortorella had to say about how Avery has been treated.Most are dead on.
"I don't think Sean is being treated fairly," Rangers coach John Tortorella said without equivocation. "I'm the first one to say that Sean makes his bed with some of the things that have happened, but I think he's done his penance. . . . He's done his penance and I hope he's given a fair shake.
"If he does something stupid, then give him a penalty. If he deserves to be kicked out of the game, then kick him out of the game, but the way he's trying concentrate on playing I hope he gets treated fairly."
"If he does something stupid, then give him a penalty. If he deserves to be kicked out of the game, then kick him out of the game, but the way he's trying concentrate on playing I hope he gets treated fairly."
"You see every game Sean gets hit from behind and slashed and there are no calls," said Henrik Lundqvist, beaten by Sidney Crosby for the winner at 9:36 of the third after he split the Derek Morris-Wade Redden pair. "I expected it the first couple of games, but it has to be the same for everybody and I honestly don't think that has been the case.
"It's come to the point where we probably have to have a discussion with some people."
"It's come to the point where we probably have to have a discussion with some people."
Bettman is who comes to mind,that little rat.
The low-key Drury, who is very cautious with his remarks, said: “I do think that Sean is a marked guy,” he said. “He’s played extremely hard and clean since he’s been back. He's never been suspended for something on the ice."
There you have it,its pretty obvious when players such as drury and lundqvist think a player is being treated unfairly.Sad thing is nothing will be done about it cause Bettman hates Avery.So its open season on Avery for the time being.Tommorow I wonder if Avery gets a goalie interfernce penalty for skating near Farty Blowdoor.

Avery and the Rangers get screwed by the refs and lose 4-3 to the pens
I was so steamed from this game I couldn't even write about it right away.Just like the playoffs last season when the refs gave the Pens almost every break and every call,the same thing happened yesterday,the Pens had 9 PPs to the Rangers 3.Colton Orr was given a five min m ajor for interference,thats right interference and a game misconduct,I've never seen that call in my life.Avery was crosschecked from behind at least twice,hit behind the play once and punched in the face once and didn't get one call.These refs clearly have an agenda and its pretty obvious to me since everytime we play in Pittsburgh we end up shorthanded for almost a full period.The Penguins had 13:01 of power-play time during the game, while the Rangers had a man-advantage for only 5:56.Anways im still mad so here are Avery's stats
15:04 with 1 assist a -1 and 5 PIM

Avery with a fight and assist in the first
Though the fight ended after kennedy fell on Avery and only lasted a few seconds,later on Avery with a slick move after the faceoff to get the puck lose and Ryan Callahan buried it
Avery and the blueshirts face off against the Pens
In just a huge,huge game,Oh I meant Sidney Crybaby Crosby and the Pens,wonder how many penalties that sissy draws today.Anyways I predict the Pens get 8 PPs and the Rangers 2.Hopefully Avery can wipe the smirk of crosby's face

Avery and the Rangers suffer a bad loss
In a game in which easily should have been 2 pts,instead they only got one.They lose in a shootout after having a 4-1 lead.Avery had himself a decent game,kovalchuk tried to go after Avery again after a hit by Avery on him.I guess kovalchuk thought Avery went for his knees,he cleary didn't.
Anyways Avery's stats
14:50 with 1 shot on goal and 2 PIMs E
He got called for his nightly bs call where the refs just use his reputation for making the call

Avery and the Rangers lose 2-1 to the sens
Tough loss in that they could have moved up to 5th but now stay in 7th.Avery was a little off today but still played well,adding an assist and having a decent amount of chances.The Rangers were a little lagged in the second and third,perhaps tired from 2 games in 2 nights but that is something they are going to have to get used to if they do indeed make the playoffs.

Avery winning over Torts!
Sean is showing what he can do as a player,” Tortorella said of Avery, who has four goals in the three games. “If he just keeps that concentration and continues to just worry about playing and not the other stuff, he can do the things he has been doing for the hockey club.
“He has been outstanding in trying to keep that concentration, but it has to be all of the time. We don’t want any cracks.”
“He holds everyone accountable, including myself,” Avery said of Tortorella, 5-3-1 since replacing fired coach Tom Renney. “I feel like he is on me a lot and trying to get the most out of me and get the most out of all the guys. We are starting to respond to him a lot more.”
“We’re starting to believe that we’re a good team,” Avery said. “I think that we kind of had a feeling that we didn’t really believe that or we don’t believe that as much as we should. We’ve got a good team.
Great news thus far as Torts was a tough critic on Avery in the past,but with his play so far how can you not love him.I think Avery has opened some eyes around the league,I always knew from watching him that he was underrated as a player but now it seems others are starting to see it also.Many of his offensive skills are underrated,epsecially his skating where he excels.This is where he wants to be and where he's played his best,hope it keeps up.

Avery and the Rangers in sixth place
at the moment and just 2 pts back of Pittsburgh and Philly but also just a pt ahead of montreal and 3 ahead of the canes.Avery has been a godsend thus far for the Rangers much like when they first acquired him a few yrs ago.He adds so much to this team.Its remakable that one player makes such a difference.I really believe he was born to be a Ranger.
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
Avery and the Rangers with a big shootout win in Montreal
Yes they should have won this in regulation if not for a bad play by Chris Drury and soft goal by Henrik Lundqvist,but a shootout win is fine at this point.Any points are good,with this Avery and the Rangers move up to the sixth seed with 82 pts and Montreal down to 7th with 81.Avery's 3 game goal streak ends but he had a very active game,all over the puck and once again drew 2 penalties.He had a few sneaky shots that almost beat Carey Price.
final stats
18:37 o goals and 0 assists +1 and with 4 shots on goal

Avery gets to the flyers
"We got emotional and used it the wrong way," said Flyers head coach John Stevens. "I think [Avery's] probation period is over and now he's back to his old antics and we got sucked in, to be quite honest.
"We started worrying about him instead of playing the game. He draws your physical attention and allows their skilled players to play and then we play the whole game shorthanded. We gave ourselves no chance to win."
"We started worrying about him instead of playing the game. He draws your physical attention and allows their skilled players to play and then we play the whole game shorthanded. We gave ourselves no chance to win."
Ummm what antics are you talking about you douche.He scored 2 goals and drew 3 penalties,I can see why the flyers are jealous of that since their team is a bunch of gutless pukes for the most part.....or maybe it was because Avery challenged Philly bigwig Jeff Carter.Stop bitching and moaning cause Avery owned you yesterday.
Avery>Flyers

Avery and the Rangers top the Flyers
4-1 for 2 huge,huge points.Sean Avery once again was amazing,2 PP goals and I think 3 drawn penalties.This guy plays hard every night,every shift and adds something this Rangers team was solely missing.He was named first star today also.Told you all the guy can play.
His stats today
2 PP goals in 16:06 E and with 2 shots on goal
Avery,make it 3 straight
Goals in 3 straight games,Rangers lead 1-0 after one period on Avery's third goal as a reRanger!

Against that douche Mike Richards and the flyers.Richards tried to nail Dubinsky with a nasty elbow yesterday but besides that it is another huge game for the Rangers.The Pens,Canes and Panthers all lost in shootouts yesterday and the Rangers are currently in the 8th spot.They need 2 points.Avery has goals in 2 straight games.

Avery nets his second!
In a game in which he played well and once again the refs allowed open season on Sean Avery
He finished with 1 goal and 4 shots on goal and a -1 in 16:38
I seriously think Bettman has told refs to let stuff go in terms of Avery being hit.

Avery with his best game!
Avery scores his first
goal as a Ranger!! again @Nashville ,off a carom from the boards that he tapped into the net!
Wednesday, March 11, 2009
Larry Brooks feels the same way I do
IT'S one thing for a player to be shadowed on the ice by a checker, the way Jaromir Jagr was for a time by Jay Pandolfo, or Bobby Hull was by a pest named Bugsy Watson.
It's quite another thing, however, for a player to be shadowed on the ice by game officials, the way that Sean Avery has been by referees and linesmen alike throughout the first three games of his return to the Rangers. He is entitled to play his game without a referee or linesman in his face after every whistle, or whispering to him prior to faceoffs, or escorting him to the bench during stops in play. AMEN AND BRAVO!
The shit he is getting called for is unreal and the woest part is they let the same play go earlier in the game but then later they penalize Avery for it.

Avery to play on Gomez' wing
After playing mainly with Lauri Korpikoski and Ryan Callahan it appears that thursdat night Sean Avery may skate with Gomez and Zherdev.I like this move a lot cause Avery is a goos skater and he can keep up with Gomez.He and Gomez also showed some chemistry last season.Avery may also be able to open up room for Nik Zherdev.I look forward to this and hopefully a good game.

Avery and the Rangers lose 3-0
Despite a real bad call against him on the second penalty Avery had a solid game,he was around the puck all night,forechecked well,had a few nice hits and 2 good chances.3 shots on goal also.
Final stats: 15:29 -1 3 shots in goal and 4 PIM
SIDE NOTE:Officiating both ways was terrible.You could not even make contact with another player tonight without getting 2 mins. I never knew lifting the opposing players stick is a penalty.Apparently it is. Its ridiculous how little you have to do to get called for 2 mins.
Avery with a rough second
Took one bad penalty when the Rangers would have had a PP and then took one on the PP in front.The second one was BS,He basically fell into a player and knocked that player down and it was called.It wasn't even near the play,in fact the Canes had just cleared it. I hate this new NHL where you can't even touch a player anymore without getting whistled for 2 minutes.
Avery after 1 period
0g and o assists in 3:43 of ice time,the Rangers were shorthanded 3 teams in the first...god damn refs dont know whats a penalty and whats not
More Avery tidbits
It took less than 20 seconds for fans to erupt into chants of AVERY! AVERY and he didn't dissappoint as on his first shift he landed a nice hit o PJ Axelsson. "You just want to get a hit in and get the nerves out," Avery said. "The earlier the better." Throughout the game he was heavily cheered and everytime he had the puck there was a a buzz. "It felt good," Avery said. "Obviously, the two points feel really good, and then on a personal note, it just felt good to be at home playing for the fans."He later assisted on Ryan Callahans goal and when it was announced he got a louder cheer than Callahan. However he was called for a penalty with 1:22 remaining that was just a horrible call and one of reputation. "I didn't even look up," Avery said about spending the remainder of the game in the penalty box. "I just buried my head and was crossing my fingers."
Torts on Avery "I think he's been pretty effective. I think he's an outstanding skater, just the power that he has. He is really concentrating about trying to stay within himself," Tortorella said. "He has a lot of things buzzing around him. Sean needs to battle and keep his concentration and he can be a big part of this club if it stays that way."

Avery and the Rangers face the Canes!
Tonight in another big game with huge playoff ramifications.Avery has an assist in 2 games so far and the Rangers have won both.I think he's played very well and John Tortorella is really suprised with how good a skater Avery is and how much Hockey sense he has.Currently he is playing on a him with rookie Lauri Korpikoski and 2nd year player Ryan Callahan.

Tortorella's thoughts on Avery's first game back
“Sean kept his discipline,” Tortorella said. “I didn’t see his (cross checking) penalty at the end of the game, but I thought Sean did some good things. I thought he held onto the puck, I thought he created some things, and some offensive zone pressures.”
Avery on his first game back "That felt good to get that out of the way,” Avery said after a 4-2 win Thursday over the New York Islanders. “If there were any nerves coming in, I certainly got rid of them quick. It felt good to be playing for this team again and getting the win. Certainly, there’s a comfort level wearing the uniform.”

Avery calling Brodeur(Blowdoor) fatso
Classic!also mentions Clarkson and how he can't play with him!..ha
Avery's first game stats
Played 13:56 with 4 hits,2 PIM and a -1.Overall a very good first game back with the Rangers.The piles were after him all night,he was definitely a marked man.They were looking trying to goat him into a penalty.He took a few big hits and dished out one.He had a nice rush where he just missed the top corner of the net and he had a nice setup from behind the net.Very refreshing to see Sean back where he belongs.And the Rangers won 4-2.
Avery first period stats
Okay I'm more than obsessed..Rangers lead 1-0
Avery with 4:22 and 2 hits and and Yapping like usual...gotta love it
