Isles will place Rick DiPietro on waivers at noon, per Newsday

Wow. Just. Wow.

I mean, he was considered a franchise guy. He was the 1st pick of his draft year.

Going to WIP for sports knowledge and information is like going to Club Risque to talk about celibacy.

But they gave me the heads-up knowledge that Tim Vokoun would be starting the Flyers/pens game.

Bryz said he was "exhausted" by the short season and that he doesn't "have the luxury" of getting time off because the team always needs to give their best (could be contrived as a shot at Leighton/Boucher). Wouldn't be surprised if these get used against him.

Based on what you wrote, sounds to me that he's trying to say being tired is no excuse.

Before the injuries piled up, he was a good young goalie, with a ton of promise. The myriad injuries have robbed him of his lateral movement, quickness and basically left him a shell of his former self.

Bryz handled it well...only so much you can do when you're dealing with jackasses.

Correct. I just expect that WIP will spin it the wrong way.

I tweeted Richie to see if he'll help. Im sure he still has some resentment towards the media.

Could they have used the accelerated buy out on DiPietro or was he not eligible?

Imagine if they had Simmonds on the air and asked him to say, "Fo shizzle my nizzle." But it's ok to do this to Bryzgalov because 'lol borat', right?

They are idiots. I seriously felt bad listening. No different than two bullies picking on a kid who is struggling at school.

No, they could have used it on him. They wanted the cap hit to dump salaries fro draft picks.

There's a few speculating that Tim Thomas might be returning. I doubt that, but who knows?

Conlkin is terrible. His impressions are horrendous. He's like a poor-man's version of Frank Caliendo. He'll never have more success than he does locally.

He's home in Colorado. Never said he's retiring, just wanted to take a year off.
