It's unfortunate when this happens to any player, nevertheless when it happens to our best defenseman this season. McD and Girardi need to take his minutes and show what they're made of.

If it's true that they put the claim in yesterday, then it's certainly fortuitous.
and que the Hamrlik signing
when healthy
McDonaugh , Girardi
Staal, Del Zotto
Hamrlik, Stralman
that would be pretty good. Atleast Bickel doesnt play. Eminger and Gilroy have been ok
lets hope Staal is fine

It's beyond obvious that Hamrlik isn't for Staal. But since there is a significant likelihood that we have to face the reality of not having Staal for a majority if not all of the rest of the season, then who do we replace him with? Girardi and McD will have to step up for sure. But we're fooling ourselves if we think that will be enough. So does McIlrath get a shot? I'm thinking probably not. So what's the solution then? No way we can just say oh well, guess we'll keep playing Bickel, and consider that a successful strategy.

I wonder when we'll get an update on the severity of his injury. The hesitance to release injury information leads me to believe we may never know.
snyranger blog saying Eric Staal says the swelling needs to go down before they know whats up with Marc.
Dan Rosen@drosennhl
Eric Staal says Marc Staal is waiting for swelling to go down around his right eye b4 further determination can be made about his injury.

FYI -- orbital bone injuries are not like a broken arm where you just go and get an xray. They often are detected after the fact. If surgery would be required that could be delayed several weeks becaue of swelling and eye trauma. The fact that Mark did not go to the hospital immediately seems to indicate no direct eyeball trauma.

Wheres the Reggae?
I think i'm happy with just that, if thats the case.
What's typical broken orbital bone recovery time? 6-8 weeks? That seems to be what I remember for Mara, but I may be wrong. In any event it would likely be season ending, correct?

It seems to depend. I think Joe Thornton came back the next game wearing a full cage when Lindros broke his face.
This hush hush ******** about injuries with the rangers is getting ****ing ridiculous. We get our first real source of info from his ****ing brother. Unacceptable

There's not much the team can say about the situation. Whatever they can say now is all speculative so why bother?

His brother said they are waiting until the swelling subsides before they know more, so I think it's acceptable in this case.
So ****ing tell us that they're waiting for the swelling to go down. I don't want to hear it from his damn brother and here the "ya know its tough to hear since he's my brother ya know" crap. Flyers fans found out right after the ****ing game what was known about grossman. When have we had this "luxury" this entire year? McDonagh? Nash? Hell we barely know what's wrong with asham

He Is Our Star
Yeah its frustrating. I understand we have no right to know ANYTHING but really whats the point of the hush hush.
Eric said they are waiting for the swelling to go down. Thats not nothing, thats an update. Rangers couldve said that
Exactly. I'm so sick of holding my breath overnight just to get an update if said player is at morning skate. Then a flood of speculation, until we find out if he's playing an hour before our next game. It's ridiculous.
