PrintThe New York Rangers announced today that forward Wojtek Wolski will be out up to four weeks, due to a sports hernia. Wolski visited a specialist in Philadelphia yesterday, and is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow afternoon. Woslki has been having constant injuries to his groin, since the season has begun.
He registered a total of two assists in six total games this season for the Rangers. He spent most of the time sidelined with a nagging groin injury. The Rangers have already placed Wolski on the IR, and another forward is expected to be re-called in his presence.
We will continue to keep everyone updated on the status of Wolski, and whether an extra forward is re-called. Also be sure to check out Kevin's analysis thread on the New York Rangers power play.

WOJTEK WOLSKI TO UNDERGO SURGERY
Expected to be Sidelined Four Weeks
New York, November 7, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that forward Wojtek Wolski will undergo surgery tomorrow to repair a sports hernia, and is expected to be sidelined four weeks. The procedure will be performed by Dr. William Meyers at Core Performance Physicians in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Wolski has registered two assists in six games this season. He has missed six games due to injury, including each of the last two contests. The seven-year veteran is currently one game shy of his 400th career NHL appearance, and nine goals from 100 career NHL goals.

I know he took part in Gary Roberts’ Biosteel Camp, along with Stamkos, Cammalleri, Yakupov, and some others. I’m curious if he over-trained during the off-season, leading to this.
He stated earlier in the season that he felt he injured his groin due to his new style of skating stride he learned over the summer, I’m guessing at Underhill’s training.
He changed a bunch of things in his game this summer and unfortunately it seems his body hasn’t been happy about it

We want AVERY!
What, too soon?
I kid, I kid. This is really sad to see, because he had been putting together some good shifts out there where he was using his size and speed on the forecheck and had also made some nifty passes. There was a possibility he could have added some real depth to the scoring charts.
rub a dub dub
Now torts defiantly won’t be able to get him outta the tub.

Total non-factor this season.
the only time he will be missed is during the shootout.
thats a bit harsh, Ill miss him for sure when Avery is on the ice

No Balls?
I guess this puts to rest the speculation that he has no balls.
It does however make it much more diffcult to trade him to Bob Gainey.

damn, beat me to my comment
Was just gonna ask the same question. I like Deveaux, but four weeks is a long time for him to be up, no? Could give Zuc some decent ice time now, I’d imagine
I’d assume Zucs comes up to fill the gap.

the point in sending him down last time was to avoid sticking him on the 4th line where his skills wouldn’t be utilized, there is no reason to do it now. unless cracks start to show in the new gabby line or callahan line, there is still no place for mza. its unfortunate but reality
by BronxBeliever on Nov 7, 2011 11:09 PM EST up reply actions
But that’s the thing. He doesn’t need to be on a gritty line.
When Wolski comes back why not bring MZA up and put those two on a line with Christensen?
Not the most impressive line, but a solid line that can play 10 minutes a night and put up some points.

well its official, he's out for an extended period of time soooo...
45% of you think its "Not that big of a deal! We can always call up Zuccs to fill in that “skill” position we would be missing without Wolski"
20% of you say “Who cares! Avery will have a spot on the team now and the ‘spark’ he brings is much more valuable than the inconsistent ‘skill’ Wolski brings”
18% believe its a “Significant loss! But its not like the Rangers were planning on re-signing him for next year so they might as well learn to play without him”
16% think his loss is “Huge! He may not always put in the effort thats needed, but we still need his skill on the team”
and the remaining 1 percent?

Thinks he should quit complaining and get a god damn job. Put down the hacky sack and patchouli and start being a productive part of society.

He’s not a game changer. MzA can do the skills he can and Avery does more board winning then him.

I initially thought that said sports hemmorrhoid
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I like Wolski and think he was starting to round the production corner. That said, without his injury we probably would not have discovered our current top 2 lines, which may be our best combination.
Geez, I posted these same lines a few weeks ago, I am sure torts had to think about these well before me.

I'm not sure why this is an issue
most guys were pissed he didn’t get bought out, he’s played like 4 o 5 games and ha 2 assists…hardly integral to the team at all. Step and Gabby seems to have gelled Richards Dubi and Cally looks good……where does WW fit in exactly?I’d rather se Avery play with heart and the Prist feds Boyle line remain intact……….WW is a 4th liner on this team now. Does MZA come up and play with Step and Gabby?
Absolute Worst Ranger Fan!!!!!!....yet incredibly realistic and usually correct.
4th line guy...
I’d rather see a guy like Andreas Thuresson, John Mitchell or even Newbury back to fill that role. Keep Zuke getting minutes with the Whale until one of the top 6 guys starts to slump.
I agree
I really like what I’ve seen from Deveaux so far. I was just saying they were going to bring some else up…
by Mike_from_NNJ on Nov 8, 2011 2:22 PM EST up reply actions
When Wolski comes back we should bring MZA up with him, put both of them on a line with Christensen, and see if it works.

As inconsistent as WW can be, he is consistently in the top third (Or better) of all LW’s in the league his entire career. He is also a career +21. His stats prove he can be a valuable asset. He definitley is not fourth line material. With him being out, and the top lines playing well, he is going to find it tough to get playing time.
BTW, now that we are winning, and the players are playing up towards their ability, where did all the whiny little bitches go?

We are out getting your mini skirt and pom poms dry cleaned for the ticker tape parade. LMFAO You gotta love this mentality. You can’t judge a team when they are 3-3-3, but you can get your "Rah Rah " on after a 4 game win streak? “Small samples” “it’s only 11% of the season” only applies when you want I guess. Spoken like a true varsity cheerleader. Clearly the only little whiny bitch still here is you! Nobody here wanted them to lose, but you probably can’t see that through those blinder you have on.
See I said “Whiny little bitch” and up conjures the big Puzzy Dizzybizzy. If you think I am the bitch, why don’t you make me your bitch sometime? I guess you went and douched some of the sand out. I am being negative enough for you now, am I?

Here is your limo to that ticker tape parade you keep talking about
I thought you said you were done with me?(That is a bitch copout). Well be done then. Also, if you are going to attribute quotes to me, make sure they are the right ones. I said you can judge a team at 3-3-3 they are .500…….. um average. I guess you don’t even know what average looks like, thus your small sample size quote (Which I never said.)

3-3-3 is average? when is the last time a .500 team made the playoffs? And Bitch cop out? (which is two words Mr.S.A.T’s) A bitch cop out would be……………….
“Nope, it is just not that serious.”
1st Place = Stanley Cup
Last Place = Great DP’s in a very deep draft.
Middle= Ride the highs and lows it all evens out.
Directly quoted from your post.Translated= I don’t care as long as i still get to wear this mini skirt and pom poms. I don’t even really understand the game, I cheer like a bitch no matter what. Anyone who sees the game for what it is, or anyone that criticizes or points out the deficiencies of this team is “bitching, whining, or complaining”. So instead of actually talking about this stuff in an intelligent way………I will just deflect by cheering louder, and calling anyone who actually has a clue bad things.
Your name does not fit at all. It should be Beaver boy, Fish taco because you truly act like a little girl!
Still not that serious…………………..Talk about it in an intelligent way by using hyperbole, drama, and exaggeration? Listen bitch boy, anytime you want to talk about this intelligently, we can do that.
I have no problem with criticism, but this is not intelligent nor constructive,Quote from DizzyPuzzy, "Yes, because being out shot, out played, out hustled, out coached, loosing every battle for the puck, and blocking a thousand shots a game = just a matter of time before things start to click? The Rangers will start winning either way? Yeah, being out played every game and hoping King Henrik steals about 40 more games seems like a do-able way to the stanley cup? BLINDERS! I also predict The King scores 50 goals this year , that seems as likely as them "starting to win either way"! Translation= you running around your house in circles in panic mode, crying like a little baby, clubbing your little boyfriends.
Sounds like a crying, whining little bitch ass puzzy. Dizzy Puzzy. Remember, you commented on my post, if you don’t like my opinion don’t read it. Go douche some more sand out.

LOL. And I still stick to that comment Fish taco (speaking of douches I think you should skip the skirt because obviously you are having a not so fresh feeling today)
“you running around your house in circles in panic mode, crying like a little baby, clubbing your little boyfriends. "
No….I think not. I am simply stating the obvious as many other here do as well, including the contributors. And why would you assume I’m gay? Wishful thinking? Sorry there Buffalo Bill, I am str8 married with 2 kids. Just because you tuck and tape your “nathansfamous” between your legs and put on a skirt in mommy’s basement don’t assume the rest of the world is gay. It must get awful dark in that closet of yours! Now go rub the lotion on it’s skin and F—- off!
To people saying how he's been useless during the games this year and you're happy he's gone...
part of the reason he’s been “useless” is because of his injury. He had a nagging groin since training camp, that could very well have been his sports hernia before anyone even found out about it. Let him get his time to recover and back into playing shape. It’s his last year on his contract, either we trade him and get some value for him, or we let him get healthy and give us a chance to see how he can play on this team when healthy. Wolski still should get a shot on our team for this year.
Proudly suffering as a Ranger fan.
