During Sunday's game vs the Devils, on a 5 on 3, Sean Avery decided to have some fun with Devils goaltender Martin Broduer. Instead of trying to create a play and move the puck, he decided to face Broduer and try and distract him from the play. He waved his hands in his face, even his stick at times, Broduer retaliated with a few shoves but the Rangers did not score.
After the game many people were calling the play bush league, others just called it Avery being himself. The following day, the NHL made a rule that this would not be allowed and that if anyone would do it, it would result in a 2 min penalty.
Personally i found this to be hilarious, THE SEAN AVERY RULE, as much as the NHL hates him, his antics, "diving", etc.. He still manages to get into the NHL rule book!! I also feel that it was great that the NHL acted quickly and got rid of this type of play, as it would have led to copy cats and would have ruined the game.
Henrik Ludqvist said after practice that alot of guys were doing it to him in practice and that it was pretty annoying. He was glad that the NHL got rid of it.
So tonights Game 4, this rivalry and series is heating up, and i think tonight is when it is gonna explode! I'm looking for alot of fights and major penalties..especially when Devils players yell at Avery about this, and he retaliates..
LETS GO RANGERS!!
