A-Very Ranger Return

All indications point to Sean Avery coming back to the New York Rangers via Hartford. Will it help or did NHL commissioner Gary Bettman take the bounce out of Tigger? Let's hope it's the former because the Rangers need a spark. Losers of three straight, the Rangers have fallen to third in the division and sixth in the division--three points out of the eighth and final playoff spot. Why does it seem the Rangers are always in this position year after year regardless of the roster?

The Rangers just tied the game with Washington at 3 by Markus Naslund crashing the net. Perhaps Avery's Impending return is already paying dividends. Whatever happens with Avery does not help address the lack of scoring, the disappearance of Wade Redden, Chris Drury, and Scott Gomez.

I just loked at the standings. There's the Devils--without Marty Brodeur--rolling along. They were supposed to tank when their goaltender went down. Yet they are in first. How did that happen?

Oh my goodness....Defenseman Paul Mara just scored the fourth Ranger goal--and a power play to boot. What an embarrasment of riches!
