another earth-shattering article by Larry Brooks. Your astute observations are always a pleasure to read. Your next article should be about how Redden and Roszival are grossly overpaid underacheivers...that will shake the core of Sports journalism, ya fakin tool

I can understand him "on tip-toes" as Hemingway (brooks) put it.
evrytime Avery steps on the ice, he either :
a) gets clubbed, usua;;y illegally, with no call
b) gets a penalty for as my son says: 2 minutes for being Avery.
Now before all the vitriole about reaping what you sew comes out, that is no way to play a game. Running a golaie? yeah, haul his butt off for the requesite penalty, but if he gets clubbed by some coward trying to make a name for himself? C'mon guys, let's get it right.

Correct step. Brook's writing talent consists of bashing anything he can find about the Rangers. Usually very obvious things so he doesn't have to get out of bed to write. About once a month he **** kisses so bad its like a Jeter love in. I guess this tactic keeps him employed and allowed at MSG.

Next week, Avery to have a write-up in Vogue about how "Integrity is missing from Brooks articles"

O-nay it-shay......

The snarl has been missing ever since the playoffs when he took a few bad penalties and Torts benched him. I think Torts needs to work with him one on one to find a happy medium. Watching them play the Sens on saturday, Avery is now a quarter of the pest that Ruutu is even though Avery will always be public enemy #1

I know YOU know it Hank, but you know as soon as their shifts in McDonald's and Taco bell are over, all of the "experts" will be on here pounding on Avery.."oh he's a wuss" oh he deserves it...and all of the usual asinine remarks

And Ruutu SHOULD be more of an "enemy". he is a far dirtier player than Avery ever was, at least in the eyes of people that have a clue about hockey

Ruutu is WAY dirtier, I agree fully with that, but he's loved by his teammates unlike Avery, so its less of a story.

I think Avery is mostly uncontrollable though. It seems like there is no grey area to him. If you let him do his thing, he'll go too far. There is no governor on him. Give him a rope he wants to be a cowboy, to use an old term (from Eddie Murphy Delirious, without the N bombs of course, haha classic). Anyway, maybe Torts has figured it out and won't give him the rope...

Hey go'for the bronze'Canada!, you're looking pretty good in those jeans....

He's older and more mature...wait that's not it

"Snarl missing from Avery's game"

And .... I haven't missed him at all!

29 other teams were right about this less than averaged skilled dressing room killer.

Hahaha, Hank, that's awesome, except for your low goal setting at the 'pics. Gold or nothing baby!

I was trying to think of a solid quote to respond, but can't come up with any that don't have the slurs, haha

In the meantime, why don't you come over here and fu...........

I loved that video. Watched it with my dad once and he was laughing so hard he had tears running down his face. Pound for pound, one of the funniest videos ever.

No player can be effective if they're worrying about making a mistake and getting benched for it. Mind you Avery has committed some really stupid penalties this year. The cam usually darts right to Torts after an Avery brain fart and shoots Torts rolling his eyes.

It's the girls clothing he's into. It must be hard to play in nylons and a garter belt.

Definintely, Hank. Without a doubt THE funniest stand up performance ever caught on film. Laughs from start to finish. I had many a few tear running down my face the first couple viewings myself, haha. It certainly made me think twice about playing with G.I. Joes in the bathtub, hahaha

Wilhelm... good one!! At long last a Flyers fan and Devils fan can agree... Don't forget that he rarely "drop the gloves" because he PAINTS HIS FINGERNAILS!!!!

Truth is told in this T&F post for once. Too bad the refs would call a penalty on Avery if someone slipped over a damn banana peel.
