All indications had Ruslan returning to the line-up last night in Pittsburgh, but as has been the case in the six games since he suffered a head injury (Rangers still yet to confirm a concussion) from Dominic Moore the Rangers veteran winger ended up watching the game in the press box (quote via Steve Zipay at Newsday)..."Every day it's getting better but I'm taking it a day at a time and make sure the symptoms are gone," he said Tuesday. "The one thing that's frustrating for me is, to have a broken bone, it's two weeks and that's it, or four weeks. It's something you know how long it will take. [Now] one day is good and one day you don't feel good and it's a setback. You have to make sure it's the right decision. You feel like you can rush back, but if you get hit and you're out for the playoffs, you don't want to do that. It's not my decision. It's talking to the trainers."
...unfortunately, the Rangers have dealt with a number of concussions lately, so I'm more than fine with them being overly cautious with Fedotenko. Rushing a player back from a possible concussion, not only puts them in danger of further harm this season but could have a long term effect on them mentally.
...i do have to say, if Fedotenko is going to miss any more time, Torts needs to think about getting Bickel out of the line-up. I've been impressed with the kid but his three minutes a night are a waste. The Rangers coach needs to do the right thing and give Wolski a chance. With the way the power play has struggled how can it hurt?
