Multiple Sources: Ricky out for tonight

Chief amongst them is of course, Newsday's Greg Logan, who reports that DiPietro is out after getting a MRI examination of his hip--the same one that has been bugging him since he famously dropped the F-bomb at the All-Star Game in Atlanta.

Interesting note that I read today is that the Isles were offered Jason Blake for a sixth-round pick but Garth Snow failed to bite before the trading deadline. Not sure where I read it because I read a ton of stuff today in the Canadian papers and the local New York stuff. Take it with a grain of salt. I don't know what to believe these days.

Oh, yeah. Kyle Okposo makes his NHL debut tonight too.
