Rangers hurting

With both New York Rangers’ forwards Chris Drury (concussion) and Brandon Dubinsky (3-6 weeks) expected to miss some time, the team is all of a sudden real thin.
According to Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants:
Chris Drury (concussion) was in the building briefly and rode the stationary bicycle, which is a good sign. Coach John Tortorella would not rule him out for Thursday’s game against the Thrashers but that seems like it’s a bit of a stretch. Regarding the Curtis Glencross hit on Drury, TSN’s Bob McKenzie is reporting via his Twitter account that the NHL has scheduled a disciplinary hearing with the Flames left wing. Tortorella said the NHL has not contacted him about the incident but he believed Rangers GM Glen Sather had spoken to the league. Tortorella said he believes the hit warrants disciplinary action.
Brandon Dubinsky, who has a broken right hand, was walking around with a cast. Tortorella said Dubinsky was out for “an extended period.” Henrik Lundqvist did not skate today and said he’s still not 100 percent, though he hopes to practice Wednesday after the team gets tomorrow off. He’s dealing with either a thigh or a groin issue but he sheepishly admitted he didn’t want to say to much because Tortorella doesn’t like his players talking about their injuries. Lundqvist obviously said too much in Canada when Tortorella said he was being rested for the Flames game and Lundqvist said he was dealing with a minor injury.
“It’s not perfect,” Lundqvist said. “I’m still trying to get to 100 percent.”

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
