Feb 28) Mario Lemeiux has been advised by team physicians to undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation for his chronic hip problem, it was announced today by Penguins General Manager Craig Patrick. Lemieux is expected to miss the rest of the season) Mario Lemeiux has been advised by team physicians to undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation for his chronic hip problem, it was announced today by Penguins General Manager Craig Patrick. Lemieux is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Recent tests and evaluations have revealed a chronic tendinitis of the ilio-psoas muscle, a major hip flexor muscle, as well as inflammation of the hip capsule. The doctors have advised Lemieux that continuing to play this season could lead to further damage.
"While I am very disappointed that I can't be in the lineup, I am satisfied that we have identified the problem with my hip," said Lemieux, who has been bothered by hip problems since training camp in September. "The doctors have told me that this period of rest and rehabilitation is necessary so that I can make a full recovery and get back in the lineup next season."
The 36-year-old Lemieux played 24 games for the Penguins this season, recording six goals and 25 assists for 31 points. He underwent surgery to repair torn cartilage in his hip in October.
Rumors before the deadline has Pavel Bure going to the Stars for Lagenbrunner(sp),Morrow and a Fisrt rounder.Can you imagine Modano and Bure on the same line?Would this be the end of our beloved Nucks playoff chances if this happened?
The price of Pavel
by Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated
Florida's Pavel Bure might be on the trading block, but the fact remains that only a handful of teams are able to handle his $10 million annual salary.
Among them are the Dallas Stars, the focus of preliminary talks last week that didn't go far because the Panthers wanted young forwards Brenden Morrow and Jamie Langenbrunner and a first-round draft pick.
But don't rule out Dallas yet. Stars owner Tom Hicks is besotted by big names. His love affair with the splashy gesture is why he overpaid for shortstop Alex Rodriguez when his Texas Rangers needed pitching and why he had his heart set on free agent Jeremy Roenick for Dallas last summer.
Bure is not an obvious fit for the defense-oriented Stars, but he's a perfect match for a Hicks sports property.
Schwab has been doing a good job in backstopping the leafs to stay ahead of the Bruins and now they bring in a guy that should of stayed retired,I'm sure Joseph will be back before the playoffs so why this move
As for the Rangers who are trying to land Bure,they could of had him from the Nucks if they would of given away the much heralded Malholtra.Cloutier and I think Sundstrum were also part of that deal but now they've traded him(Malholtra) to the Stars for absolutely nothing.Sather is crying about his salary but the boys at Madison have a ton of cash so whats the big deal.Bure would shine in the Big Apple.
I think its a move by Pat Quinn to insure themselves a quality back till Joseph gets back. Right now thier back up is some kid from the minors. They are in a playoff race with the Bruins and if Schwab goes down with an injury they can kiss the playoffs good-bye. Its a good move by Quinn, they get a good experienced goalie and give up a 4th rounder
Do you actually think they're bringing in that fossil to be the backup to Schwab?Now with this added pressure Schwab will probably falter this paving the way for Barasso to become their starter.Obviously the Mighty Canes felt he wasn't even backup quality for their playoff run,the Mighty latvian still reigns supreme in Carolina
Bure to the Rangers for Ulanov,Novak a 1st round,4th round and a swap for a 2nd round.Hopefully his flight from Florida gets delayed so he doesnt have to play against the Nucks,you know he will wanna light it up for the fans.
As long as he stays out of the Western Conference, any move is fine by me. The rumours that Dallas were fixing to get him were worrisome...could have put a nail in the Canucks coffin if it went through.
Bure dealt to Rangers
(Mar 18) As first reported on TSN, the Florida Panthers have dealt Pavel Bure to the New York Rangers in exchange for Filip Novak, Igor Ulanov, a first round pick in 2002, a fourth round pick in 2003 and a switch of second round picks in 2003.
Bure, 30, is a five-time 50-goal scorer in his career, but has struggled this year with Florida. He has 22 goals in 55 during this years campaign.
The right-winger is under contract for the next two years at $10 million US a season.
The Russian Rocket is no stranger to big trades. In 1999 he was dealt from Vancouver along with Bret Hedican and Brad Ference and a conditional 3rd round selection to the Florida Panthers for Dave Gagner, Ed Jovanovski, Mike Brown, Kevin Weekes and a conditional 1st round selection.
Adam Oates for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick. What a steal for the Caps. Ya Adam Oates is a great centermen (propably 1 of the best) but he's old. Philly must be desperate to give up 3 picks and a goalie for him.
John it was Nieminen and Rick Berry for Kasparaitis.
Poti and Murray to the Rangers for Mike York. Just completed.
That's minor news compared to this - the big deal everybody has been hanging on.....Darcy Hordichuck and a 5th round pick go to Phoenix in exchange for Kirill Safronov and Ruslan Zainullin, who head to Atlanta. That's a fcuking blockbuster. Totally changes the power structure from the eastern conference to the western conference. If the Canucks had any chance of catching the Coyotes, it surely must be out the window now.
Calgary, obviouly feeling left out of the proceedings, tried to make some noise by obtaining Blake Sloan from the Blue Jackets in exchange for Jamie Allison. Can Sloan be the missing piece for a late Flame playoff push?
