What is it like to have Sean Avery on your team?

I don't know where your going with this Bluenote but Avery doesn't just beat times by being an antagonist, he can beat them by playing hockey, which I thought he did quite well in the Pittsburgh series. He scored the proverbial third goal in game one that should have locked down the game for the Rangers. He also played a helluva last game while injured.

I'll agree, getting into players heads doesn't determine the outcome for all games but he does much more than that as a player to warrant keeping him.

I like the guy, don't think i'm against resigning him.

I just think we overrate his effect on the team as a whole. Yes, he most certainly does impact games, but look what happens when his antics are ignored. He has skill but not enough that you count on him as a go to guy.

It's probably like carrying a grenade. It can do bigtime damage for you, but if you handle it wrong, it'll blow up in your face.

i remember darcy tucker earlier in his career with the leafs and he was awesome and fun to watch... but after a few years it got tiresome and annoying.

what is sean avery like? because apparently his second option after the rangers is toronto.

Everyone loves Avery and I hope he dosnt go any where.

LOVE the guy, wish more than anything he retires in a Rangers uniform some 10 years from now.

pretty much how I feel.
