He was wearing a knee brace, however he did not seem to be walking with much of a limp or with pain. Obviously walking and playing goaltender are two different things, but it appeared that he was able to work out and walk normally. For what its worth, today I actually saw Dipietro leaving a gym.

I am NOT a Rick fan in the least but I truly hope he retires for the sake of his quality of life. He rushed back from how many injuries, he rushed back from surgery, even did the minnesota clinic rapid healing nonsense (WITH MIKE SILLINGER!!!How's that work out for both?) and he's rushing back, allegedly, through this. It's GRAVELY important he relax. Hockey's fun, a job, a passion.....but walking with your kids pain free and picking up your grand kids is far greater than this game. Like I said, I'm not a fan of Rick's probably because of his propensity for doing the stupid things he does so often. Someone call Rick's dad and tell him to tell Rick to relax. (and Mike Lee will be the best goalie in this draft. My hunch.)

As far as a backup/starter, what about someone like jocelyn thibault? hes a ufa who's not in high demand, has experience, and can put up some good numbers if given the opportunity.

Yeah there was a compensatory pick awarded this year to the Rangers due to Alexei Cherepanov's death. **** I believe regardless of DP's condition that the Isles need to shore up their goaltending position organization wide. Mediocrity doesn't go far to help a team steal wins. DP cannot be counted on to start 60 games ... I think an Isles #1 goaltender will be a 45-50 game starter ... so we need a 1A goalie ... and I'm not certain the goalies in the system are in that catagory. So it will be up to Garth to get the 1A via FA while we develop from scratch a 1A that can get between the pipes in about 5 years. big dally mac (50) … Yeah there was a compensatory pick awarded this year to the Rangers due to Alexei Cherepanov’s death.

If anyone remembers, what was the reason why? Oh yea, because he hasn't proved himself yet. Three years was a good start at that. This wouldn't be a discussion if that man was still in office.
