Practice Notes: Feds Not Right; Maintenance Day for Richards; Seven Defensemen

The Rangers report that Ruslan Fedotenko did not practice today after not feeling right while riding an exercise bike this morning and won’t make the trip to Philadelphia.

…i know it hasn’t been confirmed as a concussion, but when youre not feeling right the next day, it’s a concossion. NHL has to figure something out. Concussions are happening on a daily basis and it seems that players have absolutely no figure for their fellow hockey brethren.

To make up for Fedotenko’s absense, Tortorella will go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards for tomorrow’s game in Philadelphia.

…wow, if you wanted to know exactly where Wolski stands with the Rangers organization, this move pretty much sums it up.

…i do understand the move, however, as Bickel needs to be in the line-up and Eminger brings a physical element of his own.

Also from practice, Brad Richards was given a maintenance day.

…guess Torts wanted to give him a full day to bask in the glory of his game winner.
