Sitting here watching the LA Kings and St. Louis Blues on a lazy Sunday afternoon. God Bless You NHLOnNBCSports! (Even though you may have just screwed up royally and posted a photo of Sidney Crosby under the name Jordan Nolan.)

But while I'm here, drinking coffee, cutting coupons and watching hockey, I came across Rob McGowan's latest article for TheCheckingLine.com. http://islanders.thecheckingline.com/blog/rob-mcgowan/new-york-islanders/have-we-seen-last-rick-dipietro . It's done well and is something we've all talked about a lot. And we'll probably continue to talk about it all the way up until they drop the puck on a new season.

It's funny because I saved the text message from the Isles when RDP went down last season. It was Saturday January 14th at 9:42 am. It stated Rick would miss the next 10 weeks due to a sports hernia and knee swelling. There was never another announcement about him.

Will there be one when a new CBA is signed?
Interesting for sure.
