The New York Killers!

Let Sean Avery be Sean Avery! After Avery had his best night point wise in the NHL with one goal and three assists he also played his role. The Agitator!

Maybe it had something to do with the team he was playing? The Dallas Stars the team who cut Sean and is still paying 3.875 Mil. of his contract through the 2011-2012 season.

What ever it was Avery hasn't played his role since being scratched in last seasons playoff when J. Torteralla wanted to show him who's the boss. In a deserved but questioned decision Avery has not played the real under your skin in your face type of game since then. Come playoff time and in big games I think you will start seeing this side of him more often.

Last night he let loose getting under the skin of Dallas goalie Marty Turco. Turco was quick to call him a delinquent after the game.

With Avery's big night his team followed. Lundqvist had another only two goals against night. The Penalty kill was awesome! Stopping all six of six chances and even killed off a 5-3 for :54 seconds.

Gabby added another goal to his great season, while Rangers also got scoring from Avery, Dury, Callahan and Kotlik. As Higgins, Kotlik and Christensen regained confidence last game against Boston, I promised confidence was everything in hockey in my last article and stated one of those guys would score in the next game. Kotlik's goal stood up to be the game winner.

Rangers are three for three in getting points in 2010 at home going 2-0-1. Tonight the Rangers face off with a hot team of late the Thrashers in Atlanta who have been 7-1-2 in their last ten. Rangers have a five point lead on Atlanta in the Standings and tonight could provide more of a cushion on them with a win.

With all that said, Will the Real Sean Avery please stand up again!
