Reading the NY Post will never be the same with Sean Avery’s departure to the Dallas Stars. I never watched him play hockey (actually, the only time I watch hockey is during Sports Center highlights and, usually I change the channel anyway) but he provided great entertainment with his Hollywood hook-ups and late-night hijinx. Now I’m not going to claim that I know much about hockey, but I do know that the Rangers were a much better team with Sean Avery in the lineup. Were his teammates tired (jealous) of seeing him sprinkled all over the gossip columns? Maybe. Were they fed up (wish they had the balls to do it themselves) with the way Avery ran his mouth constantly (and made Marty Brodeur his b*tch in the playoffs)? Probably. But, they will be plenty angry when they fail to make the playoffs next year courtesy of Avery’s absence…
