That point led into the goals point, which you conveniently ignored. The other point to what I said? If you're going to be so in your face and inflammatory about your opinions, you better at least have your facts right. You don't. Besides, post-lockout Avery:
05-06: 0.52 PPG/0.20 GPG
06-07: 0.57 PPG/0.21 GPG
07-08: 0.58 PPG/0.26 GPG
08-09: 0.54 PPG/0.20 GPG
09-10: 0.45 PPG/0.16 GPG
10-11: 0.34 PPG/0.03 GPG (so far)
Over the course of two years, you've seen a drop in Avery's PPG production by 37% after a relatively consistent 4 year stretch. He is not having the same year as his career average (which happens to be 0.45 PPG and 0.17 GPG prior to this year). Not even close. Hell, his goal output has dropped by
81% from last year, which was already the lowest output since before the lockout. I bet if you looked at his average ice time, it's dropped significantly as well, although I doubt it's as much as 37% and certainly nowhere near 81%. Whatever the motivation behind that on Tortorella's part, it's still true.
