According to Andrew Gross and several other sources Chris Drury is going to undergo knee surgery and will miss the next six weeks.
AGrossRecord Andrew GrossChris Drury (left knee) will be out six weeks. Will undergo surgery.
We'll update and provide more information as it becomes available. Fluid had been drained from Drury's knee recently. Drury played in 23 games this season and has registered 4 assists and 23 shots. To say this has been a rough season for Chris Drury would be an understatement. If Drury is gone for six weeks the Rangers should look for him to return sometime in mid-to-late March. Coach John Tortorella voiced his displeasure with everyone who thought the Drury injury was fabricated. I will be the first to apologize for insinuating the 'convenience' of the injury, I wish Drury the best of health and a fast and complete recovery. The Rangers could use him in the playoffs. Join me for more after the jump...
In other news Michael Del Zotto apparently impressed coach John Tortorella with his play enough to stay with the big club. The news is that he will not be sent back down to the Whale. Steve Eminger has been a healthy scratch at the expense of Del Zotto getting playing time. What this means for Eminger we will have to wait and see, there is no reason to think why the Rangers wouldn't hold onto him as a solid option for a seventh defender.
StapeNewsday Arthur StapleAlso, Michael Del Zotto sticking with #NYRangers, according to John Tortorella. Not being sent down anytime soon.
UPDATE: Torts sounds off on Drury's injury (from the official site of the New York Rangers)
“He tried like hell to keep on playing, but it’s just gotten to the point that he can’t,” Tortorella told reporters at the MSG Training Center. “He tried to play on it. We tried playing him. It didn’t work out.”
“They’re going to go in, scrape his knee, take a look at it,” Tortorella informed the media. “They really haven’t pinpointed anything. That guy has played hard for a long time and I just think it’s worn on him. It certainly has not been getting better.”
The exact nature of the injury is not known at this time, but it is clear that Drury requires arthroscopic surgery to evaluate and hopefully fix what is preventing Drury from dressing for the Rangers. Chris Drury has missed 33 games due to injury this season.

Should never feel ‘good’ about anyone getting injured, especially the captain of our team. I understand why you might feel that way but keep in mind that Drury plays hard and is a good guy.

It is not life theatening. it cannot be pinned on a single event. He will get top notch medical care. He will still be stealing his 7 mil from the rangers. Hois life will continue just fine and dandy.
Oh yeah, and the rangers don’t have to figure out ways not to play him.

well here’s the thing. This point of view would probably work for someone milking a worker’s comp. case, but for professional athletes this is their life’s work. I’m sure much more goes into collecting their paycheck than the paycheck itself. This is probably especially true for a guy like Drury. While I can admit he has had a far from stellar season, and that there were a few times that I truly wanted to see him sit, this puts more of a face on what he’s been dealing with. You can’t blame a guy for getting older.
At the same time, it’s for this reason why I actually feel bad for DiPietro. After having been as highly touted as he was, injuries have claimed the man’s career, he never even had a chance to get to it. But, he is also the fishstick’s backstop, so i don’t feel too bad about it.
I’m hoping that really is why he hasn’t been playing well and he can turn it around for the playoffs.
if the team is completely healthy come playoff time its going to be very hard to find a spot for him

Hoping he has a complete recovery for his own health in the future.
Also hoping that he does some soul-searching and, for the same future health considerations, thinks about multiple concussions, hand/finger breaks, and now knee issues and explores retirement at seasons-end.
I hope he is 100 percent completely healed….

I think this is Dig’s first front-pager (well, until Jim rudely interrupted!), so congratulations.
Of course, that wouldn’t be without busting his chops for
Coach John Tortorella [Insert word here] his displeasure with everyone who thought the Drury injury was fabricated.
:-) Let’s hope they spend a lot of time working with MDZ if he’s going to stay up.
As for Drury, did anybody ever say what the exact problem is, or if something specific happened in a game, besides ‘wear and tear’? Aside from the conspiracy theories, this has obviously been a lingering issue…did the team know about it and let him play on it?

Not my first front pager, though it may seem like it. Thanks for the congratulations though.
I literally just fixed what you pointed out before reading that you had caught it too. Thanks though.

with Drury missing a lot of games… what kind of cap relief should we get… in all likely hood we are looking at a near season ending injury, knee surgery and recover at 6 weeks, then rehab, he may not be back again this season if ever… what kind of cap relief would we get if he’s not returning this season?
@clalicata17
there’s no cap relief applied unless/until a team is over the cap limit. Since the Rangers currently are below that it doesn’t matter.
If they were to add a high-priced veteran somewhere along the line, all of the IR time spent by Prospal/Callahan/Dubinsky/Drury would be applied.
you answered my question… i’m in law school now so i appreciate vagueness more than ever haha
@clalicata17
not to be that guy but...
when else would the cap relief need to be applied? its not like we would need it unless we added a player.
hahahahaha
This had me cracking up lmaoo

I have seen football players, in college, get scoped and play the following week.
It all depends what they do. If it is removal of cartilage or scar tissue, may be quick. If its tendons or ligaments, it season over. Souunds more like the former though

Help me out here guys
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I like speculating:
Don’t playoff rosters need to be set in early March? If so, I can’t see the Rangers adding him to the postseason roster right? And again, if so, I don’t think its a stretch to say we may have seen the last of Chris Drury for at least this season, possibly forever? Six weeks takes us to late March, there will be about 2-3 weeks left in the season.
I may be off base, just guessing around.
I defer to my Banter friends for confirmation on all of this.

Actually, after the trade deadline, there is no limit on the size of your active roster. Every player under contract to the organization is available for the “active NHL roster”. Prior to that there’s a 23 man limit for active players, but Dru is on the IR.
To clarify
you can have as many players as you want up, but you can only make 4 call ups after the trade deadline. Think it has more to do with keeping ahl playoffs interesting, then the NHL. They don’t want top ahl guys in the press box during playoffs. Just a guess on that part though.
99% certain about this ...
Jim, rosters don’t need to be set like in baseball. The only thing to keep in mind is that free agent players added to the organization after the trade deadline (like Jason Strudwick a few springs ago) are not eligible. But any player that is NYR property at the trade deadline is eligible for the playoffs.
Hockey is not like baseball where you have to set a playoff roster.
Every year when teams exp injuries they call up ahl guys to fill in regularly. Also, injured guys show up late in the playoffs.
No real room for him if the team is healthy so there would be an issue as to who is on the 23 man active roster.
Best to give him the year off to rehab and come back..in 2012

Beginning of the end?
After the broken fingers I think we were all hopeful Dru would come back and be the same guy we had last year, adding grit (or jam if you like) and putting in a few key goals. After seeing his play this year and now with this knee injury, I don’t see how he can be a part of the mix if/when he’s ready to come back this year or next. If we’re going with the youth movement, its really time for Dru to step aside. I only hope this doesn’t turn into a Redden-type deal where everyone gets on him. He’s a class guy with more miles than his years would indicate. I hope he and the Rangers can work something out to end his run here with the dignity and class he deserves.
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!
well drurys been a great player and i wish him well
about MDZ, im pleasantly surprised, torts seemed to initially indicate that he needed more time with the Whale and that his current stay would be short
im glad that he’ll be sticking around, torts obviously thinks that it’s the right decision, and he can keep building his experience
hopefully he can play more comfortably knowing that he will not be immediately demoted the next day
he hasn’t been too bad in my opinion the last few games, nothing great, but nothing too terrible
I listen to Enter Sandman before taking exams. I wear the exact same jersey every Giants game. The Rangers goal song goes off in my head when I achieve small successes in life.

Eminger
All I know is that we were winning with Eminger in the line-up. Last time I checked, our power play hasn’t exactly improved with del zotto in the line-up and our defense is clearly suffering.
Yea, and now all of you people who said this was a farce to avoid a tough decision…you can use this as your way of saying “I’m sorry, I was wrong that I thought you weren’t legitimately injured, even though you played with a broken hand throughout the playoffs two years ago”.
Yea, you can all (those that said it was a farce) go ahead and do that now.

The big issue for me
is this explains his lack of production and fire over the last month. Fluid does not just build up as a result of wear and tear – it is secondary to trauma.
I like and respect Drury. I’m sure he’d agree there can be no tolerance for lack of production in a meritocracy. So what this situation tells me is he played through a ton of pain and discomfort, did his best and never complained or put the blame on his health.
First class. It’s just pain.

Tis the truth. Drury’s situation reminds me of former Washington Caps captain Chris Clark. His productivity had gone down drastically due to a series of injuries. During his last full year with the team (2008-2009), he had had a stress fracture of the hand and came back but still wasn’t productive. Then, he was scratched for two games in a row during a weekend. Everyone had assumed it was a “healthy” scratch (and, of course, we know that a healthy scratch of the team captain is a really drastic move) but that Monday, we learned that he was to have surgery on his hand and would be out for the year.

Interesting point
On captains of teams. Especially in hockey there is more of a ‘lead by example’ slogan that goes along with being team captain. I mean Drury is the reason we play the way we do if you think about it. Jumping in front of pucks, hitting, grinding and killing penalties is our identity and that started with Drury, I want to see how my team responds to this loss.
What's up Torts.
The fact that Tortorella addressed the suspicion of the knee thing being a cover story convinces me that he in fact reads sites like this. I don’t remember seeing that suspicion voiced anywhere in the mainstream media.

I’m hoping Kolarik gets called up and Christensen becomes a healthy scratch.
Dubi/AA/Cally
Avery/Prospal/Gabby
Wolski/Stepan/MZA
Kolarik/Boyle/Prust
Maybe put Wolski with Gabby and Avery back with Boyle and Prust, with Kolarik skating with Stepan MZA.
That first sentence made me cringe...
Because Kolarik looks so much like Kotalik at first glance =O
I think Christensen should not be scratched, instead he should be on a line with Wolski and Gabby. I liked Kolarik’s game but he should have atleast this year and probably next down there to hit his ceiling, so to sspeak…and his name scares me to death.
I really do not see what Christensen brings to the table, he does not fit with this team. People say that he has chemistry with Gaborik even though he was claimed after Gaborik’s hottest streak. He does not put up points and is not adequate in his own end, I really don’t think he should be dressed especially when Feds comes back.
I like him as a 3rd line forward and 2nd unit pp guy myself but being scratched for Kolarik would be a bad roster move because Kolarik has not shown signs of being better nor has he really done much while up with us. Plus Christensen’s background would indicate that he easily loses confidence. I will agree that his spot should be taken by Feds, but until then his spot should be secure, IMO.
Sorry to hear about Drury’s injury. While I’m not a Ranger fan, he sounded like a classy guy. I’ll admit I pay a little more attention to him as he’s an alum of my elder daughter’s alma mater.

I think that pretty much sums up the sentiment of NY’ers. Good dude, signed for way too much money. Is about the ONLY guy in hockey who could perform as he has and get a pass from Ranger fans – that might be the strongest testament I could make for his character.
Compare it to the hate fucking we gave Gomez and Redden . . .

One Word: Good
Hopefully none of us ever have to see this incredible waste of money on the Rangers ever again. Alot of people on this site (8kpower, Moshe, etc) have the nerve to make fun of a guy like Kovalev, but at least he cares, he plays hard and has 11 goals, which looks like 50 compared to Drury’s total. Bottom line, Drury will go down in history as one of the worst New York Rangers in history and I can not wait to no longer have to watch his horrible play on the ice. When Derick Boogard has more goals than someone who once was able to score over 30, it’s time for that player to go.
by The Last Shall Become First on Feb 10, 2011 12:33 AM EST reply actions
I don't think it's fair to say Drury doesn't care
He’s at the very least played injured for the Rangers. And he is definitely not one of the worst Rangers in history or even one of the worst in the last decade. Heck, he’s probably in the top 20 Rangers of the last decade. He’s overpaid; but that is not his fault
and further, I think it’s pretty difficult to say that Kovalev is the metric for “care.” I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but the term “enigma” was almost coined for Kovalev, despite his being one of my favorite players from the good old days.
Kovalev
Skate down the right wing board, stick handle past the opposition right wing, dangle around the left D-man, go behind the net, avoid a check from the right D, give up the puck on the left wing board.
Rinse, repeat.

If you play in a controlled., skillful manner
and your name is Brian Gionta then you’re “tenacious.” If it’s Kovalev, you’re “a finesse player who doesn’t play hard,” “dangles,” “gives up”.
Double standard? Probably. But, then again, if the Russians do well, then Socialism wins.
