back here where we need you

Sean Avery returned to the ice tonight. We won, but the big story is the return of his great big mouth. There was a whole lot of on ice action (seriously, can't they come up with an adults-only broadcast where everyone is mic-ed?), and then this:

Sean Avery was asked how exactly Marty Brodeur responds when he’s in his face the whole game. “His accent’s too thick. I can’t understand him.” Avery also referred to David Clarkson as a “boneheaded minor leaguer.” Good to have Avery back to fill up our notebook. (Rangers Report)

There's a picture of Avery and Brendan Shanahan, when you first walk in at The Garden, and they're on the bench, both smiling and looking down. And it might remind you of me and Dollie, where Dollie's Sean Avery and I am Shanny, for a number of reasons. I think that still holds true, but when it comes to Brodeur, me and Avery are of one mind. I love it.
