Girardi OK; Crosby Still Hurting

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that the Rangers have yet to call up a defenseman from Hartford in case Dan Girardi is unable to go tomorrow because of an upper-body injury (possibly left hand). Gross adds the Rangers could still call someone up tomorrow morning, but Girardi seems good to go.

Gross is also reporting that despite making it through the team's 50-minute practice today Sidney Crosby is still not sure whether he'll be playing in tomorrow's game. Crosby, who suffered a left knee injury Wednesday against the Capitals and did not play Friday against the Ducks, had this to say...

"I'm just kind of on the fence right now, we'll just wait and see tomorrow," said Crosby. "There were a few things that didn't feel great. That's part of injuries and stuff like that. I just want to make sure I'm comfortable playing in a game."

Finally, Gross says the same line-up will be in tomorrow with Henrik Lundqvist between the pipes.

...relieved to hear Girardi is doing ok. Crosby on the other hand, I could care less.

Crosby? Who gives a crap about that fruitcake.

If Crosby plays, how nuts will Stall play gunning for him? Cindy Crysby might want to sit this one out.

The Rangers D on the other hand....if Crysby sits, they should pull up somebody from Hartford. Why not?
