Dallas Stars Sign Sean Avery to 4-Year Deal

Why?  Okay, seriously, I know he’s got some big fans out there - I’m just not one of them.  I don’t like hockey players who skate on *barely* the right side of what is legal.  I like it when the goalie is beat by a shot and not by some guy poking at his […]
