On Monday I posted that Sean Avery did not play in either CT Whale game last weekend due to an "illness." Now, according to Katie Strang at ESPN NY, Avery was scratched from the Whale's game vs. Norfolk last night for disciplinary reasons.Unconfirmed reports have Avery getting into an altercation with a member of the Whale coaching staff, which included spit hitting the coach when the former Ranger winger was yelling at him.Mitch Beck over at The Howlings tells me that Avery is still with the team....might be time to put Avery on re-entry waivers so someone can claim him....seriously, WTF is going on down there. Guess I was correct in questioning whether Avery was actually sick last weekend and whether he was becoming a cancer in the Whale locker room....h/t to reader Chris H.Also in the game, which the Whale lost 3-1, Mats Zuccarello re-injured his ankle while playing for the first time since he hurt said ankle in early December and Erik Christensen made his Whale d...

Shut the front door. That’s how you smother a good team, how you make their night miserable, how you bounce back from a loss. Fact: The Rangers are quickly becoming the team you don’t want to play, because they will make you absorb a beating, fight for every inch and for every puck, and will give you every reason to give up and get to the lockerroom … and with...
