oh my

And from the pages of the gossip rags, news that Sean Avery and Elisha Cuthbert have broken up, at least temporarily. Adding insult to injury, Avery was rebuffed by Elisha's friend Paris Hilton. See reports here and here.

Straka Ready For A Cup Run

Martin Straka is back on the ice, working himself into shape after his recent knee arthroscopy. “Getting back on the ice is always difficult,” he said in an interview with Denik Sport. “The break without practice didn’t help my psyche. You know camp’s coming and you’re loafing. Loafing isn’t the right word, I was doing things in the gym, but weights aren’t the same as working out on the ice in full equipment. I was watching the other guys skate and I was just waiting for the knee to be fit. Thank God it’s behind me.”

He expects to be ready for training camp. “It will be OK,” he said. “But I’m not fully satisfied on the ice. My advantage -- starting on the puck and acceleration -- aren’t there just yet.” He said that “the strength in the knee isn’t 100%,” but asked if it hurt, he said, “No, not at all. It’s a little loose -- it needs to get stronger. I’m working out on my legs -- I had to save them up until now.” He appeared to be skating well. Once, he missed a scoring opportunity and screamed in anger and slammed the bench door. “I’m mad,” he said later, smiling. “Why not? I missed a certain goal. Glaring chance -- horrible!”

He has kept the Rangers up to date on his situation. “The Rangers know about my problem,” he said. “They were afraid it would be worse. But once the doctor explained to them what was going on, they calmed right down. They were asking how experienced the guy was. I assured them he had lots. Dr. Nepras cleaned my knee in the past, he has the NHL license, so in fact, they were glad. I talked to them two days after the surgery and once more on Monday. That’s how they got to know that I was going on the ice for the first time. They were satisfied. I was told to keep them updated how I feel on the ice.”

The rink where Straka works out is North American-sized. “It seems smaller,” he said. “Ideal. We’ve been doing this for four years now. The conditions are great here. We can leave our stuff in the locker room, the gym is right above us. We go there before and after practice, sometimes we go from here to play golf. It’s even close to home.” Just like in New York, where Straka maintains a home in Tarrytown near the MSG Training Center. “It’s an ideal place for my family,” he said. “We live five minutes from the facility, our girl is going to start school, it’s just better in all aspects.” Most of his countrymen live in the area. “The Maliks, the Rozsivals, and us,” he said. “Marcel Hossa lives there too. What houses there are! The villages in the neighborhood are very nice.”

Jaromir Jagr and Petr Prucha are the only Czechs who have stayed in Manhattan. “He was thinking about it for awhile,” Straka said of Jagr. “But he’ll probably stay in the city. It depends on him, what suits him better.” Straka is happy where he is. “I don’t go anywhere anyway,” he said. “If we want to go to the city, it takes 30 minutes, 40 tops.” Straka hasn’t had much chance to talk to Jagr over the summer. “Jagr said it’s a great thing we added some guys,” he said, referring to the signing of Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. “Other than that there wasn’t much time to chat. I wanted to go watch Team Jagr play Team Demitra, but it was impossible with the knee.”

Straka believes the Rangers have a real chance to make the Stanley Cup final, and joked that he would be willing to bet as much as $10,000 on it. “We have a really good team,” he said. “I believed that last year, but we had a bad start. I still can’t figure out what was happening to us. Then we pushed and proved to ourselves we were a quality team. We were unlucky in the Sabres series -- the better team lost. When we turn it on, we can accomplish a lot. We have a great goalie on our side, as well as Jagr, who has the ability to decide every game. Add to that the new signees -- I’ve heard only good things about Drury and Gomez from the other guys. Especially Drury is said to be a fantastic team guy. We certainly do have a chance!”

He does not think that signing Drury and Gomez marks a return to the bad old days before the lockout when the Rangers overspent on every available star. “That was a totally different situation,” he said. “Formerly, the Rangers bought players who were closer to the ends of their career. Now, we added young players in a great shape who already achieved something and it didn’t happen a long time ago. They’re 27, 28 years old -- they should be in their prime.” Thanks, DaTeL, for another great job!

Cherepanov out for remainder of Series
Alexei Cherepanov

TSN.ca Staff

8/31/2007 1:43:18 AM

Russian superstar Alexei Cherepanov is out for the remainder of the Canada-Russia Super Series.

Cherepanov suffered a concussion when he collided with Canadian forward Brandon Sutter in the first period of Game 2. He was not on the ice for Friday's morning skate and according to team officials, remains in hospital.

The Russian team is also saying forward Egor Averin is out for the remainder of the series.

A first round pick (17th overall) of the New York Rangers, Cherepanov has been held pointless throughout the two games and the Russians haven't scored a goal in five periods against Canada since getting two in the first period of the series.

Ranger fans should consider it a favour.......he has now learned before even stepping on the ice at the NHL level.....don't cross the ice with the puck with your head down....this can result in an owwie :(

ouch

what the fuck is the deal with all the ex icelanders' sons / nephews going after all the NYR Russian prospects ?

he looked a bit dazed and confused
just for curiousity sake , was there a penalty called on this play ?

hey as has been mentioned at least it happened now and not from a big NHL hitting monster . If he didnt receive a concussion- then thats even better.

Anisimov Also Injured [Updated With Video]
Adding injury to injury, Artem Anisimov was forced to leave today's Super Series Game 3 with an apparent knee injury after an uncalled knee on knee hit from Colton Gillies, another relative of a former Islander. The Canadians, conntinuing to play an (ahem) physical game, were already down a man and on a delayed penalty call for a second man, so Gillies was unpenalized on the play by the generous referees. He left the building while the game was still in progress to be further evaluated. Anisimov had already told Sovietski Sport that "after two matches of the Canadian part of the series I will leave for the Rangers training camp," which would get him to Traverse City in time for the Prospect Tournament.

Meanwhile, Alexei Cherepanov is out of the series with a concussion, having been held for hospitalization, according to TSN. Here is the hit Brandon Sutter laid on him, a dirty dangerous blind side elbow to the head, leaving his feet. Sutter's dad's statement that there was no malice in the hit is a cowardly lie -- if your son is gonna pull crap like this, speak the truth about it. Early in the clip, you can see what set Sutter off. He was skating backwards in his own zone without watching where he was going and was clipped by Cherepanov. He thought he was slew-footed on purpose, but Cherepanov caught him accidentally with the follow-through of his back foot while he was skating a crossover looking for a pass -- it was Sutter's own fault:




Three other Russians have been injured in the three games. Canada won Game 3 this morning by a 6-2 score to take a 3-0 lead in the series -- see game stories here, here, and here. Thanks again to Laurie for translating stories from Russian.

Plus, Jagr , Straka Shanny amongst others will be stepping off the ice soon .
These young guys are the future of the NYR and will make up parts of the teams we will be rooting for in the not so distant future. I dont watch much on TV, because they dont broadcast it. Sometimes if we are lucky we get a Wolfpack gane on the MSG Network, but that is rare.

lets see how long she lasts with him over there! lol She'll get to cold, start to hate it and come date another hockey player. The rangers lost Cushbert and the Isles gained Hillary Duff so we gotta make up for that


lving in florida I kinda keep track of the panthers since its the only hockey and I hope people dont sleep on them this yr. They made solid moves and resigned their youngsters and finally got a good goalie since Luongo in Vokoun.

looks like Bryan Berards getting a tryout with the Isles. He was invited to their training camp. He put up some offensive numbers for my fantasy team but I dunno how good he still is. It could help the isles tho
