From the NY Daily News... UGH...

Cynics, commence nodding your heads. Eric Lindros is injured already.

Defenders of his acquisition, relax. It is neither a concussion nor believed to be serious.

Lindros caught his skate in a rut and twisted his left knee during Friday's intrasquad scrimmage at Rye. He did not skate yesterday, though he rode a stationary bike.


Uh-oh ... Eric Lindros is already hurt.
Coach Ron Low said Lindros will not play his first game in a Rangers sweater tomorrow night in Detroit, as was originally planned.

Rather, presuming the injury is as minor as all concerned claim, Lindros probably will hit the ice for the first time in a Broadway blueshirt Wednesday night at the Garden, when the Rangers play host to the Devils.

By all accounts, the Rangers are being ultra-careful in their handling of Lindros. He stayed in Friday's scrimmage until the end, even jumping on the ice for the final seconds because the score was tied.

And neither a conventional X-ray nor an MRI were taken of the affected joint.

"I just tweaked it (Friday) a little bit," Lindros said. "There was some swelling and I wanted to give it a day to let it subside and hopefully skate (today).

"It's not that big of a deal really. It just happens every once in awhile."

Lindros suffered a series of knee injuries early in his career, missing 43 games over his first four seasons because of assorted sprains and one significant right knee ligament tear. He wears braces on both knees as a result.

I will be attending Wednesdays game, and I am hoping to see him knock Stevens out.

Im not worried about the Knee.

I heard the GAME mite be changed to the SMELLYSITE, Devils home. I hope they dont move the game over to the SWAMP.

Dammit - I wanted to see Lindros in Detroit!! The Wings only face the Rangers twice during the regular season this year.

Lindros will last 2-3 weeks tops.

Can I get some of that action too? I think he'll go down at some point due to a concussion.

Think about it... Lindros isn't exactly the most popular guy in the league...

He is in the same division as Darius Kasparitis who knocked him out.

He is in the same division as Scott Stevens who knocked him out.

He is in the same division as the whole Flyers team... as of which want to knock him out.
