"sean Avery"

He's everything you want to watch on TV, and more. Brought a grit to our team we were lacking, prior to his acquisition. Love the guy, and wherever he signs, they will too. source

I think you mentioned this in a prior game thread PG, the current Sean Avery is like Rick Vaughn from Major League 2. We need the original Wild Thing, and I blame Torts. Torts benched Avery last year in the playoffs, which was step one to our monumental collapse. Sean hasn't been the Avery we've all loved since. He used to be the Terminator, now he's nothing but the Masturbator. We're near the top of the league in PK this year, I'll take a few extra penalties so Sean can be the Sean of old. I think Torts just likes the personal feeling of being the toughest SOB on the team. source

He hasnt been hugely productive in every facet of the game but I have a hard time imagining why he is worse than Voros or Brashear. Just send him back to Hartford if youre rolling 4 centers outside him. source

Dustin Brown certainly isn't the biggest, but he is certainly in the ballpark. He is the team's penalty drawer and often goes down pretty easily. source

Torts has done what he can to roll 4 lines, it seems like he likes Betts and needs a reason to play that 4th line. Korpi on the 4th line gives the lineup more balance, at least on paper. Gives torts a reason to play the 4th line more than 4 minutes a game. Korpi isn't in the doghouse cause there's no way he'd be on the PK with all the capable penalty killers on this team. source
