DP

Daily News – Rick DiPietro acknowledges that Ryan Miller has been “phenomenal” in helping the U.S. hockey team advance to the Olympic semifinals in Vancouver. But the oft-injured Islanders goalie still holds out hope of again competing for his old No. 1 job in the American net in the future. “It’s tough. It’s something I was looking forward to from the time I got off the plane from Torino,” DiPietro said of sitting out the Olympics after serving as the U.S. starter in 2006 in Turin. “It’s tough to sit and watch without kind of feeling or wishing you were there to be playing in it. But things didn’t work out and I look forward to hopefully getting a chance to do it (in 2014).” ”As far as my body feels, (the break) was good. My leg feels good and my body feels good and I’m looking forward to being back and getting this thing going,” DiPietro said. “I’m not sure what’s going on with (the next Olympics), but all I can control  is to play as well as I can and try to stay healthy.”

You selfish, unpatriotic douchebag. Yeah, this was in the Daily News last week but I’m posting it now to point and laugh at karma fucking DP right in his disrespectful five-hole. After he ran his mouth as if he deserves to even be in the same conversation as any of the three American goalies on 2010′s Olympic roster, he was placed on IR yet again. Newsday reports that “an update on goaltender Rick DiPietro is expected at some point today. DiPietro was placed on IR yesterday retroactive to February 28 with knee swelling and GM Garth Snow was scheduled to meet with DP’s doctors yesterday.”

Good. I hope your leg falls off. The US did just fine without you. How about you try and focus on how you can avoid re-inuring yourself on a 2-week Olympic break before you set the bar so high? It’s a mystery how you started in 2006 – Ryan Miller had better numbers even then and somehow didn’t make the team. Now, even third-stringer Jonathan Quick wipes his ass with your game. You know what I did during these Olympics? The same thing as you…it was all about R.I.C.E motherfucker. You know what else we have in common? We’re both not on the list of considerable Olympians for 2014. Just because Tonya Harding has a sex tape doesn’t make her a Vivid girl. Emmitt Smith winning Dancing With The Stars doesn’t get him a spot in Riverdance. Know your role – you’re just an Olympic hockey fan now. Soon enough, you’ll probably be nothing more than an NHL fan too.
