My T&R

Sean Avery is done for whatever remains of the season with a lacerated spleen he sustained during the first period of Tuesday's Game 3, 5-3 defeat, possibly as early as 3:30 into the match when he bounced off Brooks Orpik while attempting to ride the big defenseman into the rear wall. Yet, even though injured, Avery did not miss a shift all night. Avery, complained of stomach pain during the first and second intermission, then also reported shoulder pain after the game. The medical team recognized the symptoms as indicative of an injury to the spleen. Avery is expected to make a full recovery over the next two months.

He may be a pain-in-the-butt on the ice but you still need to wish him well and hope for a full recovery.

I guess you showed to much knowledge for this site in your explanation of your moniker. I found it insightful. Thanks for the info. I wish a full recovery for Avery. As much as he is disdained you hate to see this happen to anyone. He did show his toughness by playing through it though. Not many in this NHL would have done the same.

There were Pop...I thought it was a Calvin Klien thing...re your Av.
I think it might have been my comment...I used noble and Avery in the same sentence. But I did apologize for it too...So I don't get it.

Maybe plowing prostitutes between periods isn't the best thing for your spleen.

Steelcurtain,
A real fan never gives up! Do I think the Rangers will win? I sure hope so...doubt it over the course of the series...maybe tonight, maybe even Sunday, but it's a big hill to climb. Never give up though.
Ask some olde guy about your very own Steelers and the Immaculate Reception!
