Our Isles source has been very reliable over the years. They got us the DiPietro contract a week in advance, and the Zhitnik trade as well. <BR/>3) IF DiPietro does need surgery, and/or misses a lot of time it would make the isles the front runner to finish 30th. That might not be a bad thing with Tavares the anticipated prize next June. The isles could use a super star forward to market <BR/>Thanks again.FAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-70716584733712932252008-10-31T05:23:00.000-07:002008-10-31T05:23:00.000-07:00On the broadcast last night they said that Ricky i...On the broadcast last night they said that Ricky is now on injured reserve. That means he's not coming back any time soon. Your source may have been right about him needing surgery. I hope not. McDonald has played well, but I can't imagine if he had to play almost all our games this year.Trotz19https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908853765816132718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-11003405634318909692008-10-30T06:21:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:21:00.000-07:00Has anyone noticed that Gaborik is on IR?

In the end I think the Wild are gonna keep Gabby.

I have been castigated in the past on this blog for providing medical opinion, but I shall here regardless.<BR/>In reference to the Islander goal tender knee situation. It is my understanding that these type of injuries do many times respond well to a limited invasive corrective procedure like arthroscopy (not to be mistaken for a lazar-it is not). If the damage is too extensive an arthroscopic correction CAN be inadequate at which time a more open type of surgery might be needed to correct the pathology. My orthopaedic colleagues tell me this usually requires at least a month of being totally non weight bearing, followed by 6-8 weeks of physical therapy. on the other hand I'm told that they could try a series of cortisone injections which at the very least could get this player through the season. Not knowing the complete picture here of course, this is only conjecture on my part. I hope he gets well soon.Dr. George Vargahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467675428163380469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-16395827416642169912008-10-29T09:35:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:35:00.000-07:001) Thanx.

We are especially amused by the Islander situation. we aren't without sympathy for their fans, but we are less so for their owner and management.<BR/>2) Speaking of amusement we loved the whole Eklund emergency appendectomy story he and his minions were reporting. We have some interesting REAL/truthful reports from sources who are telling us a slightly different story of why he was away for a few days! Look for that soon!FAUXRUMORS 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16787931383624127006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-29921635018519789232008-10-29T06:52:00.000-07:002008-10-29T06:52:00.000-07:001) Interesting stuff there FR2.
