Avery thought he was dying

"I was writing my will that first night."

"I was in bad shape. I was nervous. I was trying not to think about it.

"I thought I was done."
Avery said.

While cleaning out his locker and hopefully not for the last time he also said,

"I bleed Ranger blue," said No. 16. "It would be very disappointing if I don't get to come back and play here.

"Losing this series is extremely upsetting, not only on a personal level, but because of the passion of the fans here who enhance every experience of being a Ranger.

"The way it ended, it's like we let down the city. I want to come back and win for these people as much as for myself and my teammates."

What else do you need to hear Glen? The fans want him, he wants to stay and the team wants him. Give him the contract he wants.
