NEW YORK – Sean Avery didn’t talk the media last night, either before or after the Stars 2-1 win at the Garden. He said he was going to take his team out to a New York dinner, “while they still like” him.
Henrik Lundqvist, though, got an earful just 25 seconds into the game as the [...]

Well, that looked easy didn’t it?

Now this makes [...]

With two assists on the night and the first star, Brandon Dubinsky made his case to be on this team when the season starts on October 4.
“Obviously, that’s my ultimate goal to be here,” he said. ”So I’m just trying to go out every night to [show] our management and coaching staff. That’s what I am fighting [...]

Blair Betts and Marty Straka scored for the Blueshirts while Dainius Zubrus and Zack Parise scored for Jersey as the Rangers lead 4-2 after 2.
Both netminders look good and the youngsters, like Marc Staal, High Jessiman, Artem Anisimov, Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Dan Girardi all are skating strong.
