Bleeding Blue

Avery is back at MSG tonight! He was my favorite Ranger from the past couple of seasons. Do we miss him team-wise? I don’t think so. He seems to have the life span of a Mike Keenan, 2-3 years, and then push him out the door. We milked him for what he was worth, then let him run to Dallas (who was stupid enough to pay him a 4 yr. 15.5 million contract!!!).  I liked him, but he’s surely not worth that kind of dough. Instead, we have Aaron Voros who is tied for 3rd in the league with 9 total points;and 4th in the league with 5 goals. He is much bigger, and can block the opposing goalies view without those hand-waving shenanigans that had hockey purists convulsing. I’m sure tonight, when both teams hit the ice, Avery will be flapping his gums trying to antagonize the Blueshirts. Supposedly, he and Lundqvist weren’t exactly best buddies, so we’ll have to see what happens on Hank’s doorstep…
