A side note to the game last night...is there a stat out there that shows who has drawn the most penalties in the NHL this season? Sean Avery has got to be high on that list. Since he's joined the Rangers, he draws at least 1 penalty a night, often more. Last night the Islanders took 3 penalties against him, most needless. For example, he took down Sean Hill in front of the net, and then the puck went to the corner so Avery went to get it, so Hill goes up & gives him 3 or 4 cross checks to the back, takes a penalty, and the Rangers scored to tie it 1-1.
