Jane McManus at The Rangers Report has some quotes on the how Sean Avery is up to his old tricks again...Flyers coach John Stevens...
“We got emotional and used it in the wrong way there,” Stevens said. “I think (Avery’s) probation period is over and now he’s back up to his old antics and we got sucked in to be quite honest with you. We started worrying about him instead of playing the games. He draws your physical attention and allows their skilled people to play and then we play the whole game shorthanded.”
Scott Gomez...
“He gets the puck, five guys on their team want to kill him,” Gomez said.
John Tortorella...
“I think he has been outstanding in trying to keep that concentration but it has to be all of the time,” Tortorella said. “We don’t want any cracks. We want to keep him concentrated on what he has to do.”
Avery on his comfort level...
“I think it has to do with my mindset and where my head is more than anything,” Avery said. “We talked about, after the first couple of games, how I was just so nervous and kind of playing a little too hard. So I was just trying to slow it down and think of the plays and where they are going to end up and try and anticipate it.”
...in the history of the NHL has a team ever acquired the same player in two seperate years, and that player had the same positive effect both times? Amazing.
