nhl-injuries Stories - Fear The Fin
Hey Johnny Park
Okay, Richard Park is back in the lineup. (Wonder if he likes Foo Fighters though?) This is what Park dealt with in his 11-game absence: "One rib was fractured but the tip of another was chipped, and he had to be careful about coming back too early with an injury of that nature." Oww....
Bergenheim, MacDonald Injured
As if the injury bug couldn't hurt enough, the Islanders suffered two additional injuries during last nights 3-2 overtime loss in Toronto. According to Greg Logan of Newsday, Bergenheim suffered a groin strain in the third period and goaltender Joey MacDonald suffered an undisclosed knee injury....
Miami Herald: Horton out with broken finger
No timetable for his return; surgery was completed following Saturday's game. Jonesed. On top of that, Bryan McCabe indeed has a broken nose; not certain whether any playing time will be missed. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/flapanthers/2009/03/nathan-horton-out-with-broken-finger.html
Weight out 6 weeks with MCL
Per Islesblogger, who was following Logan's chat. Andy McDonald off the market, Weight ... um, does this up the price of Comrie as a rental center? And deliver the final Islander nail push for the best lottery ball? http://www.islesblogger.com/2009/02/12/weight-out-six-weeks-with-mcl-sprain
Pock out 4 weeks, Streit day-to-day
Pock hasn't been logging a lot of minutes and isn't part of this squad's future. Should be fun to see Hillen or whoever takes his place. http://islanders.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=405847
Reinprecht out for 4-8 Weeks with Shoulder Injury
That really stinks because while he hasn't racked up the goals. He's one player that has consistently played well and with a lot of effort. Get well soon Rhino. http://coyotes.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=406957
DiPietro and USA 2010
"Suddenly, what seemed like a lock for Team USA in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics is very much in doubt. Unless DiPietro has a remarkable comeback, the No. 1 job will fall to either Ryan Miller or Tim Thomas." >>Pierre LeBrun, joining the chorus to shut DP down. Hadn't really considered the Olympics...

During the first period, the Islanders received league permission to use goalies coach Mike Dunham in the event Danis got hurt against the Rangers. Dunham, who retired two years ago, spent part of the game stretching and staying loose but would have needed to sign a professional tryout form before...
MacDonald hurt; Dubie on the way?
Joey MacDonald went down with a leg injury early in the 1st period of tonight's Islanders-Rangers game (still in progress). But even before that, in light of Rick DiPietro's knee setback, GM Garth Snow admitted talking to former backup and cult hero, Wade Dubielewicz, who was bought out of his...
Men down: Sutton, DiPietro get worse
Andy Sutton, already out since Dec. 19 and having missed most of October before that, had foot surgery and will be out 8-10 more weeks. Rick DiPietro is now getting second opinions on his problem knee. At this rate, the Isles will hit 400 man-games on the season easily. I sometimes wonder whether...
