Rangers explain stars absence
The Rangers' two most important players were nowhere to be found at practice Tuesday, both held off the ice for collisions of much different kinds that were frightening for far different reasons. Henrik Lundqvist was driving to practice Tuesday on the northbound side of a rain-soaked Saw Mill River Parkway when his car lost the road and hit a guardrail off the shoulder. Lundqvist was unhurt, and no other cars were involved, the team said, giving no indication that he should be held out of tonight's game at Nassau Coliseum. Marian Gaborik, meanwhile, stayed off the ice to rest the lower-body injury that forced him out of Monday's Garden win over Phoenix roughly five minutes before the end.

Gaborik has a lower body injury? Could we be seeing that wonky groin make its first appearance as a Ranger?

Lot of sharp turns on the Saw Mill...doesn't surprise me. The Gaborik injury is comforting...there were more than a few not-so-intelligent Penguins fans clamoring for them to sign him. He is not worth the risk.

Comforting?

Ha I guess that is an oxymoron. Comforting in the context that when Pens fans were demanding that Shero sign Gaborik, I told them they were fools because of how injury-prone he was. The injury itself? Not so comforting.

What a shocker, Gaborik has a lower body injury. I hope Ludquist doesn't miss any time, I'm not a Ranger fan but he's one of the top goalies in NHL and would be a shame if he was hurt driving to practice

I hope Gaborik is OK - ONLY because he is my #1 points-getter on my fantasy team

Of course he's not. He will be lights out when he plays, problem is he plays like 60 games a year. And for 7 mil a yr, you can't sign a guy like that. While I don't think this injury is a big deal and he will probably only sit for a game, it has to make all Ranger fans a little nervous. Is this the start of the injury bug? If he sits a game and then back checks a little less, he should be OK for the next set of games.

He is probably going to be back faster as this isn't the trap he's coming back to .Gaborik is definitely top 5 he just has to stay healthy
