If he plays the aggitator, he is not involved in playing hockey and becomes ineffective as a player and linemate. He has better hockey skills than half the players, but it does no good not use those skills in the game.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526234141396194760.post-49699445838392936592010-10-10T17:50:36.598-04:002010-10-10T17:50:36.598-04:00totally agree...What's great about this line i...totally agree...What's great about this line is that when teams start putting all their attention on Stepan to shut him down, there will be Avery to make plays...also, Avery can take players attention away from Stepan allowing him to be more effective.<br /><br />Avery is very important to this team.KDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526234141396194760.post-60357604889266617942010-10-09T23:33:40.119-04:002010-10-09T23:33:40.119-04:00I think a game like tonight also showcases his ski...I think a game like tonight also showcases his skill level.<br /><br />Most fans of other teams think he's just a goofbal, but the guy can play.Kevin DeLuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905982999935369743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526234141396194760.post-14520049407633713982010-10-09T23:27:22.326-04:002010-10-09T23:27:22.326-04:00The one thing I noticed from this game is Avery. ...The one thing I noticed from this game is Avery. He was playing EXACTLY how he needs to, involved, but not stupid. He needs to force the other team's hand and make them take penalties, but not take them himself. It was something he didn't do last year. My stance stays the same: if he plays that way EVERY night, keep him, otherwise he isn't welcome on the team.Evan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085927468450637119noreply@blogger.com
