The laws of physics usually only come into play in hockey when it comes to the dynamics of puck movement, skating speed, bodies crashing into each other, and the like. But there is a famous statement in quantum physics known as the uncertainty principle or the Heisenbergian effect that says that the very act of observing a particle has an impact on the observations made. In the Rangers' upcoming series against the Penguins, there is a certain annoying particle that goes by the name of Sean Avery that has the Penguins facing some elements of uncertainty.
So while Pittsburgh's players insist that they will ignore Avery, as Buffalo was able to do with success a year ago but which New Jersey was unable to do a week ago, their very protestations make one wonder if they will actually be able to do so. And even if they do manage to let his incessant yapping go in one ear and out the other, will he still be able to get under their skin by hurting them on the scoreboard, as he did to the Devils, scoring three goals and two assists in five games and driving their goalie to distraction by driving to the net?
That's where the uncertainty comes in -- there is no NHL player better able to add injury to insult than Avery. So when Hal Gill, obtained by the Pens to stop Jaromir Jagr in this series, says something like, "I find it pretty easy to ignore him," you know he's talking about Avery's trash talk, but by the same token, recall that Gill ignoring Avery on the ice in order to go after Jagr led directly to a key Avery goal during the regular season series. The bottom line is that one way or another -- and there are more than two weapons in Avery's arsenal -- Avery will have to make it impossible for the Pens to ignore him.
So there is the goaltending match-up that will be key, there will be two sets of underrated defense units that will have to help shut down some superstar snipers, there will be power plays that will determine much of the outcome both in terms of who takes penalties and who can or cannot kill them off, there will be young players undergoing trial by fire, which was the Rangers' X-factor in their first round win. But the uncertainty principle -- who will win the war over Avery -- may prove to be the ultimate tipping point in this series.
The principle goes both ways, as Jagr may learn. The Ranger captain should have known better than to compare current Penguin scoring stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to the one he played alongside, Mario Lemieux, still the owner of the Pens. While his intentions were good -- praising the kids but not granting them Lemieux status yet -- his words can easily be taken out of context and used to fire up the Penguins and their fans against Jagr, to prove him wrong. The Rangers have done an admirable job of staying above the fray -- Jagr should have kept it that way and withheld comments like these, even if they are true.

Game one tonight--I have a feeling its not going to be a seven game series. Maybe somethings got to give either way.
I hope the Rangers have that NY Giants mojo--getting hot at the right time. If Shanahan plays big, I really like the Rangers in 5.

While I'm a huge Penguins fan and expect them to win in 6, I'll be sporting a different Jagr Pens jersey for the first four games. Jagr's my boy and if the Pens forget how to play then I want the Rangers to win it all.

UPDATE: Colton Orr returns to the line-up in place of Ryan Hollweg. Gary Roberts will not play because Sean Avery is apparently too much of a pain in the cup for him. Sidney Crosby doesn't dive -- film at 11:00. Thanks for the info to Blue Notes, Rangers Report, and Slap Shot reporting from the morning skate in Pittsburgh, with the latter containing some great quotes from Jaromir Jagr on why he left the Pens.
It's deja vu all over again. Here for your consideration, on one hand, are the Rangers, with nothing but praise for their opponent as their second round playoff opener in Pittsburgh approaches. "They are a good team," Henrik Lundqvist said of the Pens. "We know it's not getting any easier." "You're talking about two guys who right now could be the best in the league," Scott Gomez said about the Pens' Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. "It's fun and exciting and good for the league. You can't take a break with this offense. You don't want to play with fire with these guys. They are that explosive, and any mistake can cost you."
And there, on the other hand, are the Penguins, already complaining to the refs about the Rangers before a single puck has been dropped and insisting they will ignore Sean Avery while so far doing anything but. "We hope the referees will protect the goalie," Pittsburgh coach Michel Therrien said yesterday. "That's supposed to be done, and I expect that it's going to be done. You have to make sure the goalies have a chance to stop the puck. We know they played hard on Martin Brodeur. Was it, all the time, fair? I'm not quite sure."
