PrintSome good news here from a Ranger fan perspective. NHL.com is reporting that Rangers perennial super-star Marian Gaborik will likely miss the first few games of the Olympics. Here is an excerpt from the full article:
As if Slovakia didn't have enough on its Olympic plate what with assignment to the toughest Group and a bracing opening game against arch-rival Czech Republic on Wednesday, it now appears as if goal-scoring machine Marian Gaborik won't suit up until the Saturday's round-robin finale against Latvia.
According to Slovakian team doctor Dalimir Jancovic, Gaborik still has significant weakness in his right leg and difficulty fully flexing his knee one week after a collision in practice with New York Rangers teammate Henrik Lundqvist left him with a deep skate gash to his lower thigh.
"I think he needs without training three days still," Jancovic told NHL.com.
Thoughts?

Im glad they are not pushing him to play when he is not ready, that would just create more long term problems.

exactly
and he will be more fresh for the Rangers final games. The most games he can play is 7 and if he missed the first 2 then that 7 turns into a 5. And if he misses more then it might be good also.
