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 [...]

Sean Avery got away and Jaromir Jagr may be the next to go. Even the always lucrative Cablevision money isn’t enough to get the big name this year to the Garden.
So what’s Glen Sather to do?
Make a trade, of course.
After inking Wade Redden and Michal Rozsival on Tuesday, Sather delt some of his blue line [...]

Martin Brodeur may have been the happiest player in the New York area yesterday.
No, it’s not because his Devils re-acquired Scott Niedermayer and Scott Stevens didn’t come out of retirement.
It’s because his nemesis Sean Avery is out of the conference, signing a four years deal with the Dallas Stars worth $15.5 million
In a move rumored [...]

I listened in on the Sean Avaery Conference Call and there will be a full story later, but here’s the transcript:
On Playing with Brett Hull
Brett was my favorite player when I was a kid and my relationship has gone on since I left Detroit. He did a hell of a job as a player and [...]

With today’s announcement of Sean Avery’s signing with Dallas for four years, $15 million, I am a little saddened by his departure.
It’s more than his ability to help the Rangers win. It’s the personality he brings to the team. When he arrived, he automatically became the best quote in the locker room and his [...]

On Jul. 2, 2007, the Rangers appeared to be a finished product, marked by the signings of both Chris Drury and Scott Gomez.
Now 365 days later, the Blueshirts are a work in progress, complete on defense, but still short on the forward end.
Taking care of blue line business on the first day of free agency, [...]

It’s been tough to be up close and personal with the New York Rangers after their season ended in May. As a reporter who covers two sports, I move directly to Shea Stadium once Madison Square Garden goes dark for the summer. So I know as much about the Rangers these days as the general [...]

It’s easy to pass blame in the Rangers five game loss during the second round of the playoffs. Before Blueshirt Nation lines up at the NHL offices to lynch the referees, though, look at the home team first.

Saturday’s games just made matters more complicated with Boston and Washington winning. This is good and bad for the Rangers, since they may get an opponent that’s tired and beaten up, but they still have to wait and won’t be able to prepare until those series are resolved.
That said, the Rangers now face the tricky situation where they will have [...]

Well, that looked easy didn’t it?
With the Rangers coming through for two goals in the third, the Blueshirts take home ice back for a 1-0 lead in the series.
And this was a Devil Fans nightmare. Their ‘favorites’ like Scott Gomez and Sean Avery performed and Marty Brodeur looked like a rookie out there [or at [...]
