Sean Avery Talks to the New York Times

Thanks to Ritch at American Hockey Fan for the heads up on this. By the way, if you're a "sandpaper" player for your team, you may not want to say things like "I just got a lovely cashmere throw from a friend who works at Calvin Klein". Esa Tikannen would have made a carrer out of making fun of all the metrosexual stuff Avery let's spill in this piece.

Fringe Benefits for the Islanders

Things are going well for Mike Comrie these days. In addition to centering the Islanders top line, the gossip sites tell us he's Hilary Duff's newest boy toy. How long before the Islanders try for a double header with La Duff? She could sing the national anthem, take a break while the game goes on and then use Miroslav Satan, John Sim and the rest of the team as her backup dancers.



If nothing else it gives the lunch bucket Islanders a little celebrity glam off the court. Especially now that Elisha Cuthbert and Sean Avery have supposedly called it quits.

Note to the Devils: This doesn't mean that Patrick Elias should start dating Ashlee Simpson
