The I.R: Wednesday Evening -> Sillinger Out For Season

A few internet problems last couple of days doubled with bad weather but heres todays I.R...



*-> The New York Islander's veteran forward Mike Sillinger will miss the entire season after undergoing hip surgury Monday. The aging veteran has stated he intends on playing at least one more season with the Islanders before retiring.



*-> Goalie Olaf Kolzig of the Tampa Bay Lightning will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured tendon in his left bicep. He will undergo surgury this weekend and if successful he will miss atleast 4 months still. Although he has only played 8 games this season his presence will be missed. Kari Ramo will serve as Mike Smith's back-up for the rest of the season. Also expect to not see Olaf Kolzig in a Lighning jersey again as he's an unrestricted free agent this summer. Kami Ramo appears ready for the "show" so he'll most likely stay up.



*->Martin Gerber of the Ottawa Senators has been sent down to Binghamton after GM Bryan Murray could not find a decent suitor. He will finish the season out in the AHL unless Ottawa can find a dance partner. At this point it seams unlikely unless another team runs into goaltending issues or a deadline day deal. I'll have more on this later.



*-> Justin Pogge of the Toronto Maple Leaf's has been sent back down to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL.



*-> Dallas Star's Fabian Brunstrom has been loaned to the Manitoba Moose. The organization feels Brunstrom still needs some polishing to get to where he needs to be.
