Puck-Bunny Progression

So while the Rangers are marking time in 6th place, handing over games to the Flyers, and wallowing away at a .500 clip with a clueless, pathetic power play, there are more important things to worry about: like what is Sean Avery's ex-girlfriend, Elisha Cuthbert, up to?

Deadspin's NHL Closer written by Greg Wyshynski deftly covers the NHL gossip-scape, and it had this Rangers related (one degree of Avery) story - Sean Avery Wuz Here:

Yes indeed, the woman who was fast-tracked to become the first Mrs. Sean Avery last year is allegedly involved with Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf, as this gossip site colorfully broke the news: "Just signed 6 year contract reportedly worth over $6 million a year and he's only 22...one of the brightest young stars in the league. [...]

There's no denying Phaneuf's effect on people...although usually his unique charm leads to professional hockey writers penning lines like "Phaneuf is a punk, by the way. And some day he's going to get his, and it's not going to be pretty for him." Our buddy Erin Nicks notes that Cuthbert was once described as "very short, and very stupid" when she was with Avery. But I tend to side with Margee on SportsSquee, who tracks Cuthbert's shrewd puck-bunny progression from Avery to (allegedly) Montreal's Mike Komisarek to Phaneuf: "She's graduated from the meth-faced 'charms' and middling paycheck of Avery, to the strapping good looks and higher pay grade of Komisarek, to the panty-burning glare and 6-year, bajillion-dollar contract of Phaneuf. From here, it's Ovechkin or bust." . . .
NHL Closer also had a note about last night's game with an 'interesting' take on the mayhem.
