does anyone really care about how sean avery is going to play, other than rangers fans? perhaps avery should stick to fashion design and wear one of his own designer dresses on the ice. it would be more apprpriate than a hockey sweater on him.

I’d love to see 07-08 Avery back in action. With two of the players who hate thim the most (Fatso Brodeur and Kovalchuk) playing the Rangers 6 times this year there should be some fireworks. I already have tix to a NYR-NJD game in February.
Torts isn’t a bad coach, his system just doesn’t match the team make up. Not enough offensive weapons to play balls out.
That said, Renney’s defensive system could get boring at times. The trap is why I hate the Devils and it killed me to see the Rangers get so defensive, though it did help grow Lundquist’s career.
As far as reporters, I would be nasty to Larry Brooks as well if I had to deal with him. He’s made a career out of kissing up to Brodeur and hating on the Rangers. I can’t stand him.

Avery is the man and he’s a superstar in NY. Can’t get any better than that. The entire garden chants his name every home game! The only other player to gt his name chanted is the King. I am so psyched that he’s going back to the old Sean Avery and if Torts has a problem with it he can leave town. Torts isn’t relevant in NY. Tom Renney was way more popular than Torts could ever will be and much more successful. I could have coached TB to a cup in ’04. Torts can’t even coach the team to the playoffs, Renney had us in the second round at least. Tom Renney=class torts=classless! The guy gets into fights with reporters what kind of pro is that?
