Anisimov wins silver, suffers hand injury

In an interview in Sovietsky Sport, Russian head coach Viatcheslav Bykov revealed that New York Rangers forward Artem Anisimovwas unable to finish Sunday’s gold medal game at the 2010 IIHF World Championship in Germany due to a hand injury suffered in the first period of the game. The young forward, who’ll celebrate his 22nd birthday today with a flight back to Moscow before returning to New York later this week, received pain-killing injections between periods but still wasn’t able to hold a stick. He played only two shifts in the second period before sitting out the third.
Bykov, who said the coaching staff was "very happy" with the performances of both Anisimov and fellow youngster Dmitri Kulikov, also reported that Sergei Fedorovsuffered a concussion as the result of his second period collision with Alexander Ovechkin. The 41-year old Fedorov was also unable to finish the game, leaving the Russians two centers short for the third period.
Russia lost the contest, 2-1, to Jaromir Jagr and an underdog Czech squad which was lead on defense by current Ranger Michael Roszival. The much maligned blueliner led his team in ice time at the tournament and was named one of the Czech Republic’s top three players at the event, along with Jagr and goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
Should this be a cause for concern or to early to tell?

Bigger concern is Rozi actually be named one of the stars….unless this helps us trade him of course.
Well, look at the rest of the Czech defense:
Karel Rachunek, Filip Novak, Tomas Mojzis, Michal Barinka, Petr Gregorek, Petr Caslava, Miroslav Blatak, Ondrej Nemec.
I mean, Rozsival has to dominate that group, doesn’t he? And it’s not like the forwards were anything really, other than Jagr and Voracek, it’s not exactly an NHL murderer’s row. I’m not sure it’s an AHL murderer’s row.

"When I tap my stick like this (thump, thump, thump), put the puck on the tape, and I'll take care of things." Jaromir Jagr, for Bud Light.
No worries at all. Whatever it is, it can’t be bad enough to keep him out until October. I also don’t think that a hand injury would cripple his NHL career. Plus, since he won’t be able to use it for a while, he can work on stuff like core strength, balance, and speed. He already has good hands, just needs to work on the body.

How about we just revoke Roszival’s passport and not allow him to re enter the country….would that free up some cap space?
My hockey honor and mojo are at an all time low after routing for the Flyers to beat the Canadiens….my wife thinks I may need theapy……God I hate the Flyers……but as it turns out, I hate the Habs and their fans more…….
Hell, I even got into a fight at the Old Spectrum during a Ranger/Flyer game…..Bob Frose’ first game in Philly after we picked him up…….we won the game…and better yet, won the fight too.
Now Chicago has to knock out the Flyers in Four……on a bright spot, Blair Betts is playing excellent…..
I love seeing a player that we undervalued thrive on another team. Especially one as hardworking and as committed as Betts.
