"I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about. Enjoy the game tonight."
Today is a sad day for Rangers fans as the team officially bids adieu to the heart and soul of the franchise, the one and only Sean Avery. A fan-favorite and RV99 heart throb, Avery went above and beyond the call of duty in his Rangers tenure as displayed by playing his final game with a ruptured spleen. Today Avery signed a 4 year $15.5 million contract with the Dallas Stars. On behalf of Rangers and Avery fans worldwide, I'd like to congratulate and wish Sean nothing but the best while he looks for dumb, slutty women down in Dallas...should not be very difficult!
The New York Post has reported that first daughter Barbara Bush has been spotted at several New York Rangers games this season, most recently at Sunday's night's first round playoff game vs. the Devils. Bush was seen wearing a large ring on her left hand but it is not confirmed that she is engaged. The man sitting with Bush has been linked to some Sean Avery parties in the past, which begs the question: Is Avery sniffing some Bush???
Multiple news outlets have reported over the weekend that Rangers LW Sean Avery's name was found in Kristin Davis's blackbook in the same prostitution ring as former New York State Senator Eliot Spitzer. In fact, the two even share the same nickname - "The Animal."
Not often in the NHL does an "enforcer" have any actual hockey skills. Former player Ty Domi and current bruisers Donald Brasheer and Darcy Tucker are good examples of players that play hard, fight often but lack any real hockey ability. This is not the case for New York Rangers Left Wing Sean Avery. Acquired before the trade deadline last season from the Los Angeles Kings, Avery is the heart and soul of this Rangers team that is currenly riding a hot streak for the ages having not lost a game in regulation since February 7th against the Ducks. Avery has missed some time this season with shoulder and knee injuries but when he is healthy and on the ice, Sean is like no other player in the league. He complements Jaromir Jagr nicely and has been a defining impact on rookie sensation and line mate Brandon Dubinsky. Not only does Avery knock opponents on their rear end and play tough-as-nails hockey, but he sets up his teammates and has been on a scoring barrage lately. When asked about Darcy Tucker of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Avery said, " Darcy has always been a whiner. You say you don't like his hair and he'll be upset." With his contract set to expire at season's end, now is the time for Glen Sather and Rangers management to lock up Avery to a multi-year deal and keep the dynamic player and person in New York for the forseeable future.
