Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants has this quote from John Tortorella on whether Sean Avery will play in Game 5...
"I'm not talking about lineups," Tortorella said. "I know that question is going to come up quite a bit. Our lineup will be our lineup when we play the game tomorrow night."
He then added this on team discipline...
"If we keep on flirting with the discipline problems, we'll lose and not just one game," Tortorella said. "Momentum changes. We've been flirting with that all series long. A big part of our situation last night was I thought our penalty killing was just outstanding, along with some great goaltending at key times. You cannot keep going to the well like that with the lack of discipline we have shown at times and expect to continue to compete in the series. We've gone there too many times."
Gross also reports on some interesting line combinations at today's practice.
...you've got to assume Avery will be in there on Friday, however, one selfish penalty and he'll be getting Zherdev's spot on the end of the bench.

Yeah. I'm all for playing Avery less and throwing Korpedo out on the ice. He was on fire the last few shifts he had.
