October 7, 2008 Stars forward Sean Avery was back at the team's practice after being absent for two days due to an illness, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Our View:Avery is probably more well-known for his off-ice theatrics, whether it is dating Hollywood starlets or interning at a fashion magazine. Still, he is a cog in the Dallas machine that has value, amassing 154 PIM last season. |

No word yet on if Avery will be in the film or if his ex, Elisha Cuthbert, will play the female lead. |

|
June 22, 2008 The New York Rangers are apparently ready to move forward without Sean Avery , according to the New York Daily News. Our View:Reports indicate Rangers GM Glen Sather spent time with Avery's agent, Pat Morris, on Saturday and, following that meeting, Morris let the press know that he is all but certain the Rangers will be unwilling to present a number that will keep Avery from testing the market as an unrestricted free agent. Free agency begins in 10 days and Avery is sure to garner interest, but the Rangers seem unwilling to agree on their desired number to secure him now. |

April 14, 2008 Sean Avery's actions have caused the league to install a new rule regarding conduct around the goalie. The Rangers forward waved his stick in front of Martin Brodeur on Sunday night, attempting to block the Devils goalie's vision. The NHL acted on Monday. "An unsportsmanlike conduct minor penalty will be interpreted and applied, effective immediately, to a situation when an offensive player positions himself facing the opposition goaltender and engages in actions such as waving his arms or stick in front of the goaltender’s face, for the purpose of improperly interfering with and/or distracting the goaltender as opposed to positioning himself to try to make a play," NHL director of hockey operations informs the AP. Our View:It's a bit surprising that nobody thought of it before Avery. |
|

|
April 11, 2008 Sean Avery scored his second goal of the playoffs on Friday night to help lead the Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Devils. The Rangers now lead the series two games to none, and Avery is doing his best pest imitation getting under the skin of the Devils with his chirping, after the whistle ways. |
|
April 10, 2008 Sean Avery may have been struck in the face by a puck in Game 1, but he returned to the ice and in the end he scored a goal, added an assist, and picked up a few stitches in the Rangers victory over the Devils. Avery is the type of skater everyone hates to face in the playoffs with his grating style, and throw in his offensive exploits and this might be the modern day Esa Tikkanen in New York. |
|

|
March 6, 2008 Sean Avery continued his amazing play of late with two goals on Thursday night. Producing his best contract drive play, Avery now has nine goals and 13 points in 17 games since the All-Star game during which time he is a +9 with 60 PIM. The Rangers can't afford to lose him, and with each passing game his price seems to go up so they might want to lock him up soon or face the real possibility of losing him this off-season. |
|
February 28, 2008 Sean Avery scored a goal and tossed in 10 PIM on Thursday night in the Rangers victory. Avery has been a flat out stud in February as he has scored seven goals with 10 points in 12 games.

I told him that I did." |
|
February 11, 2008 Sean Avery scored his sixth goal of the season Sunday in a losing overtime effort against the Capitals. It was his second goal in four games. The Rangers enforcer is not a top-tiered fantasy option in traditional formats, but in PIM leagues the right winger has value. |
|
January 17, 2008 Sean Avery returned to action on Wednesday after missing time with an injured wrist. The AP reports that the team is 30-18-8 in games in which he has played since he was acquired last year. Our View:Avery is a sparkplug for the Rangers and he’s also a quality fantasy play in that he accumulates a steady number of points and racks up a slew of penalty minutes. |
