Avery: 'I was writing my will'
Sean Avery is thinking of the future now, but last Wednesday while lying in a bed in the Intensive Care Unit of St. Vincent's Hospital suffering internal bleeding from a lacerated spleen he'd sustained at the Garden hours earlier in Game 3 against the Penguins, the Rangers' winger had no such luxury. "I was writing my will that first night," Avery told The Post by phone yesterday. "I was in bad shape. I was nervous. I was trying not to think about it. I thought I was done." Avery, who is expected to make a full recovery, was released from St. Vincent's on Sunday. He'll report for the Rangers' break-up meetings today in the wake of the second-round five-game elimination by Pittsburgh that was sealed by Marian Hossa's offside-enabled OT goal Sunday afternoon.

I must ask again, why is FanNation going anywhere near an article in the New York Post?

Hey, Avery! If you're going to keep on doing what you do, you should have one ready at all times anyways!

It'll be interesting to see what this costs Avery. If he had a big playoffs his contract ofeers would have increased.This costs his leverage bigtime.

Maybe the Devils will sign him, just to beat him up in the locker room

this is a touching story, it brought forth emotions that I have not felt in a long time. it is the human side of the game that makes me follow these valiant young men....I think I just threw up in my mouth....let me check....yes, I did throw up in my mouth.
I hope avery steps off the curb (post-hospital discharge) into the path of an oncoming hi-speed steamroller, followed by a parade of elephants.

Love the irrelevant piece at the end. LOL I asked my brother if he was offside and we thought he might have been. I'm sure the Refs--I mean Pens would have found a way to beat the Rangers in this series if there was a whistle or not.

You're looking for unbiased journalism in a Murdoch paper? This is the newspaper that changed their racetrack handicapper and made him a social ciommentator

the poor almighty rangers have finally succumbed to the referees and the capricious whims of bettman and the NHL. they stood tall and overcame every obstacle that bettman threw at them in the devils series (including a team that can't score) and subdued their much more powerful opponents from the darker side of the hudson. But alas, it was to no avail, the powers that be, had pre-destined the PENS to win the cup and once the gods have determined fate, your fate cannot be changed. they battled hard, and fought against the injustices of the league...wait a minute, I think I am going to vomit in my mouth again.

Evertonious,
are you bulimic? All of this mouth barfing...
Alas, The Rangers couldn't over come the biggest obsatcle, and that was being outplayed by a hungry team..that, and an absolutely abysmal Power Play.
By the way if Pittsburgh is fortunate to survive (notice I didn't say win) the Philly series, I think whomever comes out of the West will be pretty tough to beat.
