In the most unsurprising move of the 2008-09 Rangers season, Sean Avery is back on the Rangers. Thanks to some underhanded dealings from Glen Sather to the Dallas Stars (to be revealed after the season is over I am certain).
Now for a brief but glorious bio of his Ranger days:
Sean Avery has skated in 86 career regular season games with the Rangers, collecting 23 goals and 30 assists for 53 points, along with 212 penalty minutes. The Rangers were 50-20-16 with him in the lineup, and posted a 9-13-3 record in the 25 games he did not dress. In addition, he has tallied five goals and seven assists for 12 points, along with 33 penalty minutes in 18 career post-season games with the Rangers.
Sean Avery Back
Last season, he skated in 57 games with the Rangers, registering 15 goals and 18 assists for 33 points, along with 154 penalty minutes. He ranked second on the team in penalty minutes (154), sixth in plus-minus rating (plus-six) and tied for third in game-winning goals (four). He established a career-high with four game-winning goals.
And not to mention, helped the Rangers totally dismantle the hated New Jersey Devils in the first round of the playoffs. Guided by the “Avery rule” against Marty Broduer.
This is likely the first in a serious of smaller moves on the trade deadline, scheduled for this Wed. The Rangers unfortunately are just at the cap level, otherwise we will see more dead wood unloaded…You know who you are!!
