Andreas Johansson had a decent year with us in the early 2000's then a couple years with Nashville.

That 2001-02 team had more than it's share of reclamation or often injured players:

Lindros, Barnaby, Johansson, Berard, Ciger, Richter...

They also added Bure at the deadline, and Blackburn of course would last one more year before the freak training injury in the lead up to 2003-04.

Avery is such a POS and it's pretty telling whenever I see anyone support him on here. He was a horrendous person when he was on the Rangers and only seems to have gotten worse with age, which is quite shocking.

I was a kid back when he played and use to hang outside the garden before games to see if I could catch the guys going into the stadium. Most would spend minutes signing through everyone's autos since they weren't huge crowds, guys like Hank, Gomez, Dubi, etc. Everytime, Avery would just blow everyone off with some snotty comment as if he was too good to do so.

I remember him in a recall when he was with the Wings very early in his career when he spent most of the game trying to spear people in the balls. Eric Boulton lost his shit trying to get at him and he sprinted down the ice to get behind a couple of teammates and one of the officials, laughing the entire time. It was telling of future behavior.
 
Avery blocked me on instagram because I - very respectfully - disagreed with him on his analysis of a play during a game he was watching live(through a DM). He responded with something like "well now you're blocked so stfu". LOL, dude is just a total clown.

It's a shame because he had pretty good talent and probably could have been one of the best role players on good teams if his personality didn't get in the way.
 
The funny thing with Avery is that it's such common knowledge that he's an unstable POS, but it still surprises people when he acts like one. He's been doing this shit for his entire public life, it's not like it's a secret lol.
"Omg I can't believe Avery did that?!"
really? you can't believe it? really? Come on.
Still liked him as a player even though he is a massive a-hole.

He's an NHL Shock-Jock
 
I saw Alexei Kovalev was at the Rangers/Islanders event on Long Island this past weekend. I wasn't in town so couldn't go, but would have loved to meet him. He was the first jersey I ever owned.

Danny Kristo was like our best prospect at one point. And Thomas was a guy we were legitimately excited about. Even now, with lots of prospect graduations, that's still hilarious (and sad) to think about.

Danny Kristo played in Hartford with Conor Allen, who, I won't lie, I was legitimately convinced would have an NHL career.

I remember Conor Allen (one N still annoys me) coming up for a game and being decent, and then having to legitimately tell an excited PGT that he was 25.
