2 interesting articles today. First, from this morning by Katie Strang:
Then, Botta just a while ago had this one:
So if ALL is good, why the hell are they scheduling a day off and announcing it? Strang got the scoop that our ahem, coach said they'd give him a day off if he felt sore. Well, I guess he felt sore after DAY 3. So ALL is NOT good. Botta says they have learned. No they haven't. They'll never learn. Keep controlling the media and feeding us bullcrap. Hope I'm wrong but unfortunately this to me sounds like the same soap opera. Am I wrong here?

"Gordon said the team would proceed with caution with DiPietro's schedule--i.e. give him a day off if he felt sore--but by all indications he's feeling well." Well, he came back and played every night, so Gordon figured not playing him through pain might work better this year. I see this as the beginning of something beautiful for the Islander fanbase. Every garden starts with a load of bull**** to fertilize. |

"clearly it's Rick DiPietro's stupidity that's put the islanders in this situation getting into an altercation when a game was over..." Keith Jones on VS "But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann 查理斯 · 請死你混蛋 | |

Jerry, if Rick DiPietro was a horse, they would have shot his ass 3 years ago. I've had enough of this saga.

I will not jump to conclusions. This means nothing. Rick DiPietro is healthy and fine. Raring to go to prove that he is healthy once and for all. There is no saga involved here. Everything is purr-fect.

I saw him. he looked fine. he looked fine in net during the on ice drills and walked by without any noticeable difficulty when he was headed both to and from the work out room. Maybe he really does just want a day off and it means absolutely nothing. |

Just as a side note but Katie Strang twittered about 1hr after posting that article that DP would have the scheduled day-off. I took that to mean that right now he's on a 2 day on 1 day off schedule for the first week of training camp. I'm not a fan of the DP saga but I think them going cautious the first week of training camp is fine. If DP needs time off once the season starts then I'll be more concerned but thats just me.

I'll worry about the DP if he is out for the season. We really don't have any other choice. He is getting a shot. Keep your fingers crossed and hope the Rice Crispie trio don't have their way with him. |

Only day 3 at camp and we are already seeing days off and discussions on his health. I'll just ask you all one question. This job requires durability, and can you honestly believe that DP has the durability to be an NHL goaltender day in and day out for 8 months? For me it will always raise doubts as to his readiness. |

Seeing the glass half full, imagine what we would be writing about if they didn't tell the fans up front that he would be taking a day off and Katie Strang tweeted that DP was not at practice. |

Did he go to the workout room after practice? I hope everyone understands WHY some of us ask the questions we do. Unlike what IslandersWin86 may think that this thread is predictable, we feel the saga/drama with Rick is predictable. That's why lil things like this get talked about more than they should. But after reading aries44475's post, I think that conclusion sounds most rational for now. Still, 3 year's of this stuff??? We have been lied to before by the org. If he plays a significant amount of games and is just ok in net, he'll probably win the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. |

Steve - I totally get why the question is asked cause I agree the organization has either lied directly too us or lied by omission many times since the Gordon era began. To your point though because the org and the DP saga has been whats its been the last 2-3 years I set my sights low in regards to DP. Its sad that I would consider this season a success for DP if he played the role of a quality backup...you know maybe 25-30 games and no trips to IR. I almost wish DP was a pr!*k so that I wasn't rooting for him to come back to be a quality goalie and help lead the Islanders to the playoffs as the young core matures. I find that my heart and mind fighting in regards to the DP saga. |
