Bob Raissman at The Daily News reports on Sean Avery being able to raise the NHL's paltry TV ratings..."That's part of his mystique, too. All this stuff, capped off by his stick-waving antics with Brodeur, has people outside of hockey's hard-core fan base tuning in just to see what Avery might do next. The attention Avery has drawn can't hurt from a ratings standpoint. (The Rangers' playoff ratings are up over last year's first round.)"
Speaking of ratings, Neil Best at Newsday has this...
"...the final ratings for the Knicks show that for the first time in recent memory, they trailed their hockey siblings.
The Knicks were down 31 percent from last season to an average of 0.98 percent of area homes. The Rangers were up 87 percent to 1.16."
...I've said it before the NHL should embrace a player like Avery not punish him.
