New York Rangers
enfant terrible Sean Avery was r
ushed to the hospital last night around 3:00 a.m. and was unconscious and not breathing at the time, according to the New York Daily News. He remains in intensive care at St. Vincent's hospital this afternoon.
Avery had just lost game three of the Rangers' playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Avery is known for, among other things, dating Elisha Cuthbert, face-guarding Martin Brodeur of the Red Wings to a ridiculous degree, and being associated with a Manhattan brothel called
Maison L'Amour.
28-year-old men rarely just pull up with cardiac trouble. Whatever this is, it's very, very troubling. Oh, and even though he is a hockey player, he'll be out for the final game against the Penguins. Even they have their limits.
Update: Troubling is right: Avery is
out with a lacerated spleen, and though he'll miss the rest of the playoffs, he will recover.
