Umm Im not a ranger fan but....Avery very well maybe what the Rangers need, he gets people talking he gets in peoples face and hes agressive.... Hopefully for the Rangers sake hes not a distraction, I do see him not gelling with some of the Ranger players though.
As for the Pens, Id have to say the new coach has more to do with it then Sid being out, theyre giving up a little on D to make major gains on offense, Kunitz has been hot since they aquired him and they picked up Billy Guerin form NYI and Craig Adams from CHI should be very good additions to the team and with Sid hopefully coming back next game theyll be hard to beat and substatiate themselves in the post season picture....Oh and Marc Andre Fluery has been playing very well the last couple games.
