"Discipline"

The spotlight is on 7th and 32nd, right over-head, casting a huge shadow. It is not one player standing within this spotlight, or a couple of players. It is the merely the term "Discipline" and the drama that has ensued after the larger-then-life Sean Avery scratching, only to see his scratcher, coach John Tortorella, suspended by evil emperor Bettman for the Rangers 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

The most entertaining and enthralling story of the '08-09 Stanley Cup playoffs has not been about Ice Hockey, but about the tension between the in-your-face pest play style of Sean Avery and the take-no-shit 'tude of Coach John Tortorella, both of whom have come crashing down along with the Rangers confidence in the past two games of the season-breaking quarterfinals with the Ovie's gang of thugs.

A gang of thugs who are on the brink of back-to-back years of quarterfinal rallies.
