It Took All Of 16 Seconds For Sean Avery To Get Into A Fight With The Penguins

Found November 29, 2011 on Deadspin:
PLAYERS: Sean Avery,  Tyler Kennedy
TEAMS: New York Rangers,  Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh_penguins_v_2d29
Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part in restarting the bout as soon as he & Kennedy left the penalty box.) This is why we lamented his departure from the Rangers, and why we applaud his return: Sean Avery brings the crazy, and won't make you wait. [MSG] More »

Statement – Penguins @ Rangers Post Game Thoughts…

Via Rangers Review  |  November 30, 2011
When the Rangers were reeling off 7 wins in a row, the debbie downers were constantly on the team about beating up on inferior teams. How the Rangers true test would be the 3 games we just played against the Caps, the Flyers, and the Penguins. Tough to do much better than the Rangers just did. 3 games, 3 wins, 0 points gained by the opposition. Just imagine if this club didn’t...

War of Words Between Rangers' Dubinsky, Flyers' Shelley Adds Intrigue To HBO 24/7

The appeal to fans of HBO’s 24/7 that leads up to NHL Winter Classic is the behind the scenes access it gives them to the teams and players they follow.  Beyond practices and the locker room access there can be a more candid conversation by the players about what they think about other people in the league.  That side of it is out in full force in the past week as Flyer...
