That sucks
that stinks. bad time to lose the leading scorer.
Gabby needs to step up.
I’m assuming Dublowsky hurt himself while shaving the dirt off his face.
Cally – heal quickly buddy.
Carp – can I change my entry for the ticket giveaway now?!!
I hope this doesn’t mean Dreary gets a promotion!
The one guy we can’t afford to lose….mad love to the Dubinksy. Hurry back my love!
I revise my entry in the contest:
Rangers 4, Toronto 3. GWG: Stephan. Shots: Rangers 28, Leafs 28.
Grachev with two goals for the Connect-EYE-cut Whale of a Time.
Mao – just looked up Savella. It’s for fibromyalgia and depression. Does it actually help with tmj?
if anyone cares
Pierre LeBrun of ESPN is doing a live chat right now

So who comes up to take Dubi’s spot? I’d like to see Dupont get a shot honestly. Another thing, why did we send down Kennedy again?
Dublowsky flat out sucked in the last two games. I wonder if the injury had anything to do with it.
Hartnell! Byfuglien! Cooke! Byfulgien!
This is an injury that will most def hurt the Rangers…
Orr, go ahead and say it….
SEASON OVER
This is all because of PK Slew-ban
“Our playoffs life’s in jeopardy, baby.” This injury thing has got to be some sort of kinhspiracy.
This Dubinsky injury really hurts.
When did he hurt himself? If this is really because of Subban, I will be livid.
Somebody’s got to step up now. Hopefully it isn’t Sather.
tiki, my TMJ comes from Fibro …its better than a 1995 old school warehouse rave! ..ok, maybe not that good…but it helps a lot. Please, get better help tho…you have to find better way to manage the pain.
The one player we could not afford to lose. This of course now means that we only have a shot now for the eighth spot. Too bad. Dubi looked like a shoo in for 30 goals and 40 assists this year.
AA needs to pick his game up now and Stepan as well. Let us see what happens with Gabby also.
weise stays, and prust moves to left wing?
Holy carcillo. What else is going to happen to this team?
CT, I’ll wait till after the Leafs go-ahead goal to announce that!
They say the stress fracture’s in the left leg. I remember the ref in the corner while the PK slewfoot was going on, and IF i remember correctly it was Dubi’s right leg that was slew footed out, putting stress on his left before he went to the ice…
There isn’t necessarily a question of when it happened… Stress fractures occur over a period of time due to over use. He could have had this issue for a month, but it was only serious enough to do something about it now.
I am crying. Hartnell indeed.
And this injury completely sucks. I truly hope this doesn’t cost us the post season.
“Dubinsky leads the team in goals, assists, points, shots (124), power play goals (four), power play assists (six), and power play points (10), and leads all team forwards in average ice time (20:07)”
That sentence pretty much sums it up.
Parodn Me Rangers, but you’re pretty Buffed. You’re up Carcillo’s Creek without a paddle.
Pardon me Glen, but please, PLEASE don’t try and get a band-aid for him.
wolski- I was thinking the same thing! If we’re allowed to change our answer for GWG, I’d have to go with Stepan.
NYR_FAN- Dubi was on the ice for the last few minutes of the last game… maybe he was injured in practice?
Maybe he tried to kick Gomez, and he missed, thus injuring his left leg :P
that really blows…
Pardon Me Orr, but it would be funny if he Jagred himself.
Oh carcillo. This is bad news. If Wiese and Newberry are in the same lineup, I am gonna watch Pawn Stars.
Pardon Me everybody, but it certainly sucks for all of the people who picked Dubinsky to have the GWG.
Scour the waiver wire.
i have Dubi on two of my fantasy teams! NOOOOOOOO!!!
Forget the waiver wire, and trades.
More responsibility of the kids!
Dubi should have stress fracture in all of his bones. He’s been bearing the weight of most of the forwards on this team.
for’
Man, that sucks. Luckily the All-Star break counts for a few extra days where he won’t miss an actual game. And hopefully Cally and Vinny will be back shortly. As long as we stay in contention, then get everyone back and healthy in time for a playoff run…
Call Prucha. And Pavol Demitra. And Jagr. And anyone with a pulse.
The Canes are only five points behind us! Scary times!
“Dubi should have stress fracture in all of his bones. He’s been bearing the weight of most of the forwards on this team.”
Carrying Drury’s “C” could have caused this stress fracture…
From a tweet on SNYRangersblog:
@kevshockey: Spot on @AdamRotter RT @dansplosion: With all these injuries @thenyrangers are more cursed than mr. burns’ company softball team.
while i feel bad about Dubi’s situation
what’s important right now
is that other players (finally!!) pick up their game.
hear that Cap’n Clutch, Gaborick, Avery, Boyle…!!!!
also
it’s just possible that if the Rangers actually won some
faceoffs (like Carp mentioned in his column today)
plus
made passes to each other rather than shooting the puck to a spot on the ice
and then chasing it
they could actually move forward while the other players are on the mend.
This is all Boogaard’s fault
I agree. Booger started this crap! It was going great though. He was only injuring the sh*tty players.
Step-On might be next.
This is all Rozsival’s fault
This sucks.
ROFL @ CW …lines of the day.
They need to lock up the liquor cabinet from Sally tonight.
Rangers 4 Toronto 0 GWG wolski PP Shots NYR 28 Toronto 26
since dubinsjy got hurt i want to change mine to that
Prospal out all season so far, Frolov out for the season, Drury missed the first 30 games or so, Callahan, Dubinsky, Christensen, and Boogaard out for weeks.
Marian Gaborik: somehow remains uninjured since his return from offseason surgery.
This is all Doodie’s grandmother-in law’s fault
yes, Rozy put some sort of czech hex on us!
Ovechkin is going to be sad he’s missing his chance to rematch Dubi
If HBO did a 24/7 on the rangers they’d be at the hospital 24/7.
This is a big carcillo sandwich!
Sire Father!
Linda come back!!
Gabby was injured early in the season, Doodie. Separated shoulder, I think. He missed a few games.
“This is all Doodie’s grandmother-in law’s fault”
Pardon me CTB, but all suffering in this world is her fault. She is the devil.
Is it okay to change mt prediction for tonight since I had Dubisnky with the game winner? If it’s okay, I’m only changing the scorer – Rangers 3-1 GWG Prust Shots Rangers 24 Leafs 20
He broke his leg on the same curb Leetch broke his ankle
new post.
Parodn me Orr, but I had believed he started the season hurt but had not been out of the lineup since. I see now that he played in the first 3 games. He also missed a game with a groin issue.
Still, the fact that he has missed only 13 games while other, let’s say, heartier players, have missed significantly more, is still surprising.
I first thought that it is our regular, sarcastic joke.considered how many already are on IR. Unfreakinbelievable!
When I was talking about interchangable players on Rangers bench, Duby this season is definately NOT one of them. Double carsillo! Now, this could easily ruin the season and after, jokes aside. It’s always bad in any time, but couldn’t happend in a worse time, when team is on a slamp and need leadership, not to mention losing best overall player this season IMO.
slump it is, sorry…
When does it end? Player after player. No one has this much depth to iovercome
