2011 New York Rangers Training Camp News: Anisimov MRI Comes Back Negative; Sauer Suffers Tendinitis

Good news coming out of the New York Rangers training camp that Artem Anisimov's MRI came back negative. The MRI was sparked by a red flag that went up during his physical. Good to know that Anisimov will not be held of out the training camp workouts.

Although, there was no indication that Anisimov will be able to skate tomorrow for the on-ice drills. Other than that, it's great to see bad news turn into good news, very quickly.

Also, on the other side of things, Mike Sauer was forced to sit out after he suffered from a knee injury as well. The injury originally came from him tweaking it during the summer. However, the Rangers just released that Sauer is suffering from tendinitis.

Sauer's injury is different on the other hand, but he did state that his knee is feeling much better. We're all hoping he recovers quickly, and can get back on the ice with his teammates.

That's all that we have for now. Any other news, will be posted up on the Banter as soon as it happens!

Although I never believe what NHL staff says about player injuries, if it’s just tendinitis for Sauer, that’s not a big deal, just annoying for him. Hope that’s all it is. If not, our defensive depth is a bit of insurance.

They can always look to swing a trade near the end of camp if V Tank, Kundratek and company aren’t ready.

They said they are going to be very careful with him

so Eminger might see more time as a seventh defenseman (if he ends up filling that role) than we originally thought.

That’s not the worst thing in the world… his job as a 7th D is to rest some of the guys in the lineup if they need it. He plays a simple, physical game and won’t be horrible (e.g. Redden) in his own end.

I think Eminger also plays with a bit of a snarl that we haven’t seen much of lately, other than Sauer last year.

Agreed. I think Emi gets less ice time than he deserves.

I mean I hated him when he first got here, and in preseason I thought he was awful. But as time went on his game grew on me and I came to like it. He definitely is going to get 40 plus games if not more this year.

Sauer

There has to be at least a moderate level of concern about him, especially when you consider his history of injuries, not to mention his importance to the team. He’s missed a LOT of games over the course of his career (hip, knee, concussion, shoulder) dating back to his junior years.

They will go easy with him. Maybe try to give him off on back to backs during the season. Long season, no sense in pushing it right now.

Eminger will probably play more games in the beginning of the season to keep everyone fresher for the long haul in the end.

Proudly suffering as a Ranger fan.
