As mentioned, I don't like Sean Avery... but Marty Brodeur REALLY doesn't like him. The future hall of fame goaltender has missed a large portion of this season due to injury and is within a week of receiving a clean bill of health from team doctors. Typically when a player misses a large quantity of time due to injury, it's common to send that player to the minors for 'conditioning'. Basically just to test that player out in a real game scenario.
Now for the interesting part.
Sean Avery was recently sent the the minors and assigned to the New York Rangers affiliate Hartford Wolfpack. If a conditioning stint in the minors is planned for Marty Brodeur, he would play for the Lowell Devils. As fate would have it, Hartford plays Lowell on Feb 20th... shorty after Brodeur's expected return to the ice. Now I can imagine the New jersey Devils management would be well aware of this, and it would be in every ones best interest to avoid this from happening, but c'mon... wouldn't you love to see these two have a crease battle in the minors?
That would but Avery's anger management training to the test.
