Surprise ! I wasn't sure I'd get to do an update today at all.

Let's take a quick look at the locals shall we ?

Newsday - Brian Leetch, still nursing a badly bruised left ankle, will not play tomorrow night against the Blackhawks

Daily News - "It's true," Dvorak said. "I think I'm kind of a different player than Pav. But maybe I can fill his spot for a while. "

NY Post - IF ALL goes well for Pavel Bure, which means discovery of an intact ACL during his upcoming left-knee arthroscopy, the Russian Rocket might actually be able to rejoin the Rangers before the end of next month.

This is one of the few times I can remember where I agreed with what larry wrote. Nice job Larry, good article today !

Star Ledger - Mike Richter visited Rangers team neurologist Karen Johnston in Montreal yesterday, having experienced little change in his battle with postconcussion syndrome.

Journal News - "I think his future is at much as he wants to go get," Davidson said. "He's got the athleticism, and he's got the mental attitude, too. ... There have only been a couple of games where the games have gotten out of hand. Every other game, he's kept them in it. He's always given his team the chance to win. "When you get into this league, people don't care if you're 19 or 31. You've got to do the job, and he's done the job."

It's time for you to read At The Garden, this time Chris tells us about sitting in the luxury suites with the Special People.

Last night the opposing captain said to my team captain, "I'll give you any two forwards for your goalie". Nice compliment.....too bad I can't play anymore. Due to some health issues I've once again retired. Unless something changes in a big way, I've played my last game. We didn't win but I played pretty well, I guess.
