lol, to the guy with the comment furthest down, i have to say, you’re a typical gaylander fan. dont hate on the rangers just because the isles will never have the fanbase and media attention that comes with the rangers and MSG. and as for the islanders being the new york city championship tradition, all i can say is, HA!!!! 4 straight cups may make the team of that era a dynasty, but certainly not a tradition. as i do recall, the isles have been eating s*** ever since.but, if you are as “melon headed” as those rangers who swept the isles from the playoffs in 94, and decide to still call the isles a championship tradition, dont associate it with new york city. the islanders dont play in new york city, and as a matter of fact most NYC hockey fans despise the isles. so, stay in Long Island where you belong with the silver spoon, and al arbour in your mouth. oh, and the team that won the cup in 94 donned NYR attire, and were paid by the RANGERS, making them RANGERS, not oilers.

lolllllll-henrietta? do you mean henrik lundqvist, with the 1.86 GAA and the .940 save percentage? islanders fans never cease to tickle my sense of humour.

1983!!!! last cup youll ever see!!!

How much cash Dolan sending to these wrtiters to print such pro Rag spin?

What a sad organiation with so many paid fans writers who are nothing more than fanboys and shills.

ISLANDERS ARE THE NEW YORK CITY CHAPIONSHIP TRADITION, RAGS ARE A JOKE AND ALWAYS WILL BE WITH EDMONTON’S 94 CUP.

THE CLASS OF THE RAGS, AVERY, MESSIER, LEETCH, STEVENS, TIBBETTS, FLEURY, MELLON HEAD RICHTER LED BY DOLAN.

AMATEUR HOUR RENNEY AND HIS BORING TRAP AND HENRIETTA WHO COULD NOT STOP A BEACHABALL WITHOUT A TRAP COVERING FOR HIM.

RAG CONTRACTION….NOW G

GET OUT OF NEW YORK CITY, IT’S ISLANDER COUNTRY.

I think that Marty Brodeur is behind this! He is scared of Aves!

Avery (and the New York Rangers as a whole for that matter) are consistently targeted by the NHL. Take Hollweg’s warnings at the beginning of the season as an example.

Had Avery said something about Blake’s CML then yes, that is classless and unwarranted, but this is SEAN AVERY. Voted by the players as Most Hated (and oddly enough, Most Overrated) in the Hockey News. It is expected. Everyone knows it’s coming. This guy’s been hated by his own teams.

Guys in the league need to relax with the dramatics—give it up, boys, Avery’s not going to change. And if he’s fined, he’s going to speak his mind about it, and be fined again (see: when he was in trouble for diving).

Question- Don’t you think that if Avery really did make a comment about Blake’s Leukemia that Blake himself would have said it was true???. It’s all BS and Berger should be Castrated in public. Berger is one of Eklund’s buddies, so you can take anything either of those morons say and throw it right in the dumpster! Avery For President!!!!

Newman & Lauren – I agree. That is the most important thing at hand here, and if there’s any truth to it I’m sure it will be addressed…hopefully swiftly and harshly. I also think by discussing this we’re feeding on the trap of the Toronto media.
Truth be told I never liked Blake to begin with – and always thought that he looked sick long before the diagnosis(perhaps i missed my calling). But I don’t think the win had EVERYthing to do with whatever comments were made. Nor would I defend comments made in bad taste such as the allegations that have been made. Eventhough in my sick humor I may give it a chuckle.
Vally played a great back-up role in a big game, Gomer looked good, the D looked ok, and we walked away from a big game…with a big win. Let’s not forget it.

Justice – nice post.

My biggest question is how does Avery yap so much with that massive mouth guard he wears? He’s obviously heard very easy but I could never get more than a few words out before I started to make no sense, that alone is impressive to me.

This is absurd. Two pre-game incidents or not, the NHL either need to make a hard and fast rule about trash talking or drop this crap. And F Canada.

But anyone who thinks Avery doesn’t say things that go way beyond the pale of most normal, “classy” conversation(or even trash) is kidding themselves. The guy is notorious for it; whether it’s race, sexual orientation or family problems. I’m not sure what I think of it, but there is no doubt mere cancer would fall into Avery’s repetoire. The guy is one of, if not the, most hated player in the league. There is a reason for that: he’s an a**hole.

And, yes, I think it’s great he’s a Ranger. And I think he’s a good player. But c’mon…
