give me a friggin break, Sam.

it is MALIK who walked out on his team when he was told he was scratched that night.

it is MALIK who refused to shake the hand of his coach after a win because he was still pouting.

and it is MALIK who refuses to fight or play physical for his teammates, while Avery does it all the time.

there is only one selfish player in this dustup, and it is MALIK, the selfish pouting team-walk-out-on jackass.

I resent very much your writing about Avery as selfish when it is MALIK who is the selfish a-hole in this situation.

Seamus, our defense started sucking when renney put Malik in? I believe it was the other way. Malik played a lot at the start of the year when our defense was great until he ran into some nagging injuries. Then after that the defense sucked. Plus its not just the d-mens fault. Renneys system involves a team defense where every player is involved. When they stopped backchecking hard, the goals started to pile up against henke. prucha, orts wasn’t hurt but out because of a serious health problem from an off the ice incident.

We are the complete opposite, if you can honetsly say that you think this team lacks talent needed, yet plays with enough heart, speak now or forever hold your peace (and piece). There's not a soul on this blog who can muster up the nerve to try making that argument. And let us not act like "The Playoffs" is this magical fantasy world where teams that have slacked off all season miraculously come to life and make runs. The playoffs is where good teams become great teams and eat, jokes who slide into the show, alive. Argue back against me, but you know its true.

The list of players who've missed more time than Prucha due to injury over three years is long: Rucinsky, Rucchin, Shanahan, Straka, Avery, Malik, Callahan, Betts, Ortmeyer... For 3 years I've been hearing the same story, yet the only time he got hurt was on a knee to knee hit. If he was going to get concussed, it would would have happened by now. The only player who's the recipient of more dirty hits than Prucha is Jagr. A not on Renney: He may have been the right coach for 05-06, and maybe even 06-07. But the roster has turned over a great deal and he may not be the right coach for this group. Whoever thought the Malik/Avery incident was planned is a complete conspiracy theorist. If it was, it's an even bigger indictment of Renney that he needs Avery to do the dirty work for him, and I just don't buy that.

I heart sean avery. now, with regards to hockey....another great post by sam. no matter what the problems are with avery, the fact that he brings life and energy to this team is the important thing. without him, this team would be so lulled, so boring, that we'd all hate it. so yes, wait to cry about the cancer (ironic eh) in the clubhouse he is etc b/c right now he's exactly what we need... haha beer me, there’s no need to calm down it’s no way to go through life, live on the edge.

Don't get me wrong, for the most part I like what he brings. However it still erks me that a loose canon was needed to turn last season around. I hope they can work things out. Wasn't it just the other day they were talking about how Avery has changed due to the coaching staff the "brings out the best in him" and "channels his energy". He was saying how things were different with the Rangers, compared to the previous teams he has been on? It’s always bothered me that Avery is seen as the guy this team needs to win.

The year we were predicted to finish last we played a hell of a year. I don't think where we were predicted to finish means shit. I am sorry, but that is just my opinion. I will say this as well. I wouldn't care if this team made the playoffs by one point on the last day of the season and then went on to win the cup. Some people feel otherwise, but anything can happen in the playoffs.
