Larry Brooks at The New York Post has these quotes..."It was just a [bleeping] bonehead play that cost us the game," Avery told The Post. "I let my team down. What else is there to say? It's pretty easy to see."
"We made two mistakes, primarily both by me," said Avery. "That's the difference in the game."
Lynn Zinser describes the two mistakes in The New York Times...
"With one intercepted pass in overtime, however, Avery watched all his work unravel. He tried to make a pass across the ice to a teammate and instead sent the puck right to the stick of Flyers center Mike Richards, who raced up ice and flipped a shot over Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist for a 2-1 overtime victory...
...Brière was responsible for that (tying the game), finishing a give-and-go play with forward Vaclav Prospal with 12:28 left in the third. On that play, Avery found himself out of position after winning a face-off from Brière...
...Those two plays spelled the difference between 2 points and 1, between a team celebrating a jolt in momentum and a team grinding its teeth over another loss."
...I don't think I need to get into it. Two bad plays, let's move on.
