Quinn01 38 Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Prior to his tenure as Rangers coach, Tortorella was a commentator for TSN. When Avery pulled his locker room comedy routine that earned him the suspension, Torts said on the air:"He's embarrassed himself, he's embarrassed the [Dallas Stars'] organization, he's embarrassed the League and he's embarrassed his teammates, who have to look out for him. Send him home. He doesn't belong in the league." Edited October 5, 2011 by Quinn01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepperkorn 82 Posted October 4, 2011 somehow he always does well against the Devils -- I'll be glad to be rid of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aylbert 95 Posted October 4, 2011 Is it possible if he clears, the Rags put him through rentry and he gets claimed again? And therefore Dallas would be on the hook for 2mil, Rags on the hook for 1mil, and the third team gets him for 1mil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quinn01 38 Posted October 4, 2011 If he hs claimed by another team, I am going to say its going to be either Winnipeg or west again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Random Poster 85 Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I can't see anyone taking Avery for any reason. NY was his last and only chance when Dallas dumped him. He knew that then and nothing has changed. He's cleaned up his act better but his reputation is still poor and quite frankly he's only effective when he is an ultimate douche and you have to be willing to take an awful risk. I think he played in fear of being "himself" for the last year+ and he's just made himself a 4th liner with some energy by doing so. He's stuck. He can't be himself and he can't not be himself.

Legion15 37 Posted October 4, 2011 whoa! when did this happen? what did he do? not saying it wasn't probably just him and his antics again, but this is the first i'm hearing... any articles?it's good news either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's just they dont need to spend 2mm for a 4th line agiator... He's been scratched the last couple of preseason games, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devilsadvoc8 4 Posted October 4, 2011 I don't care what happens to this POS as long as the Rangers have to pay out as much as possible for his contract and he is miserable- Then I am happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eldon 69 Posted October 4, 2011 Get ready for the NY media flip-floppers, like Trautwig & Micheletti. Sean avery good. Then when he signed with the stars, sean avery bad & a distraction, then back to the rangers, sean avery good again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quinn01 38 Posted October 4, 2011 Knowing Avery, hell say something stupid any minute now about the Rangers and how they are a sh!tty organization and he was the leader in the locker room on and off the ice. He was mad ever since he didnt get the C this season and how unappreciated he was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quinn01 38 Posted October 4, 2011 I would actually be interested in hearing how many Rangers fans really did like him and didnt just defend him because he was part of the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eldon 69 Posted October 4, 2011 I wonder if he'll blame his release on his gay marriage stance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge18 0 Posted October 4, 2011 I could see the Kings going for him, especially if they could get him cheap.He was run out of LA for being a complete and utter jackass to his own teammates, including repeated ridiculing of their current captain Dustin Brown over his lisp. Somehow I do not see LA as a destination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitico12 37 Posted October 4, 2011 I now believe the Rangers have taken the next step towards becoming a legit team. Avery was holding them back...they may now have the "professional attitude" necessary to move forward...I'm worried now...(no joking either) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim777 14 Posted October 4, 2011 I wonder if he'll blame his release on his gay marriage stance.That was the only thing he's ever done that was respect worthy. I hope he ends up in the KHL, getting his butt kicked in a foreign land with a different language wondering why the hell he couldn't have just shut the hell up and play.
