Dealing With DiPietro

from Greg Logan at On the Islanders Beat,

The Islanders have done their best to shroud the issues surrounding goaltender Rick DiPietro’s health in mystery, obfuscation and misdirection. They issued a statement last night that was like a skeleton picked clean of any meat by buzzards.

“Lower body injury”… “unrelated to previous injuries”…“day-to-day pending assessment and treatment.”

I’d ask them to define what they mean by “unrelated to previous injuries,” but trying to get a straight answer is like trying to see Major Major in “Catch-22.” You only can go in to see him when he’s out.

buying out DiPietro this summer would cost the Isles 36 million dollars over the next 24 years.  Had they bought him out last summer it would only be 19 million over the following 28 years.
