The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

There was a report coming out of The Daily News on its Web site Wednesday morning that Sean Avery was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital in cardiac arrest.

Not during, like you baseball and basketball pussies. They found the injury ...

Having this discussion with a buddy, and a bit more perspective on this: If Pavelski doesn't blow a tire in game 2, is this an entirely different series? If the called-back goal last night early wasn't blown dead? we're down 0-3, and it could easily be 3-0 if four or five pieces of "bad karma" turn the other way, or a couple of posts go ...
