07:49 AM ET 11.16 | Ever since John Tortorella came to New York late last February, the Rangers' head coach has responded to questions about Sean Avery by saying, "It's not about Sean Avery." ut this has been Avery in name only. The snarl has been missing. The edge has been missing. The uniqueness that most often defies definition has been missing. But Avery has been playing on tiptoes, as if walking a tightrope. He has largely been a cipher, reluctant to engage opponents. Fact is, Avery has been playing as if afraid that one mistake would consign him to the bench.
