left hip and will need approximately four months to recover. General manager
David Poile said Thursday that Rinne had surgery Wednesday to correct a
situation team officials were aware of last year. After consulting with doctors,
the decision was made for Rinne to go ahead and have the surgery now rather than
try to postpone for another year or more. "This just goes to the position, the
wear and tear that goaltenders and their current style of play," Poile said.
"This is an operation that many, many players in the NHL have had including two
prominent goaltenders in Niklas Backstrom and Tim Thomas." Rinne is a two-time
Vezina Trophy finalist already in his career, and he was fourth in the Hart
Trophy voting two years ago. He ranks sixth in the NHL with 152 wins since the
2008-09 season. He also ranks fifth in save percentage (.919) and is tied for
seventh in goals-against average (2.36). He tied for second in the NHL with 43
appearances in the lockout-shortened season, tied for fourth with 42 starts and
ranked sixth in minutes played (2,443:46). The 6-foot-5, 204-pound Finn tied for
the NHL-lead with five shutouts. Poile said they hope Rinne is ready by training
camp, and the goalie will be staying in Nashville for his recovery. The general
manager said players have played well after having the surgery. "If there is a
good news in this situation, the year that Tim Thomas had the operation, the
following season, he won the Vezina Trophy and the Bruins won the Stanley Cup,"
Poile said.

real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its

Brandon Sutter said.After a dramatic start to this years Premier League, Wayne
Mardle makes his predictions for night two in Newcastle. Defending champion Gary
Anderson will make his first appearance in the competition after recovering from
a virus as he faces Michael van Gerwen.World No 1 Van Gerwen will be searching
for his first win of the campaign, as will Phil Taylor, who faces James Wade in
a battle of former winners. All the action is live on Sky Sports on Thursday
night. Raymond van Barneveld v Peter Wright Raymond van Barneveld will be hoping
to build on his win over Phil Taylor They both played especially well on the
first night, especially Barney who had Phil Taylor to beat. We spoke to Raymond
after the match last week, me and Dave Clark, and he actually admitted there is
something about the World Championship and Premier League which switches him on.
Out of the 10 previous years, he has qualified for the play-offs eight times.
Van Barneveld dominated his match against Taylor These two have played each
other in the Premier League three times and there have been two draws and a 7-5
win to Barney. I think this will be close, probably down to the last leg, and
Barney will nick it. Sky Bet Price Boost MVG, Lewis and Wright all to win, was
7/1, NOW 9/1 Adrian Lewis v Dave Chisnall Adrian Lewis has rediscovered his
best form in recent months Im in turmoil over this match. Lewis to me is
starting to look like he is playing his best darts since 2011. Ive been saying
this for the last three or four years and Im glad Im being proven right now. He
cannot keep relying on just his talent alone. There is a saying that hard work
beats talent, if talent does not work hard. That is Adrian Lewis in a nutshell.
Adrian Lewis had to settle for a 120 after his third dart got caught Dave
Chisnall has got a lot of talent, but he works hard at his game. He tries hard
to get everything right. Lewis for me, is someone I back wiith no confidence,
but if I back against him, he will lose me money.ddddddddddddIm going to go for
a draw on this one. I cannot call it. They both can play at such a great
standard.Gary Anderson v Michael van Gerwen Gary Anderson begins his campaign
against Michael van Gerwen Gary is lucky to be back in just a week after a
virus. He could have been out for much longer. Ive always had theories about
joining the party late. I think it takes an hour or so to get involved. You walk
in when everyone is all settled and you do feel like an outsider. For Gary its
week one.Michael, after his performance against James Wade, will definitely be
thinking I need two points on the table here. Im not saying he will be trying
harder to win, because that is what he will do anyway, but Gary Anderson cannot
be 100 per cent. He will have hardly practiced. 2013 champion Michael Van Gerwen
lost his first match of the season Ive got to go for Van Gerwen here to win,
purely because Gary has been out for a couple of weeks and Michael will be
absolutely match fit. John Parts Picks Back the selections of Sky Sports pundit
John Part with Sky Bet James Wade v Phil Taylor Phil Taylor beat Van Gerwen in
the final of the UK Open qualifier three at the weekend Phil Taylor is turning
into a normal human being, where he doesnt play well every week. I think weve
now got to accept the fact that hes going to have these games, these tournaments
where he obliterates the field and other nights he looks like everyone else.
Last week, against Barney he just looked like a normal darts player. This week
he could go up and average 110. Phil Taylor is turning into a normal human
being, where he doesnt play well every week. Wayne Mardle During the weekend he
played well and that can only help his confidence. Its not on the big stage
where he wants to do it more, but these are little stepping stones.I think he
will beat James Wade. James looked really good last week, but Michael van Gerwen
missed a dart to go 4-0 up, missed a dart to go 4-1 up, missed another dart to
go 5-3 up. The result could easily have been different. I just feel that James
Wade will play roughly to the same standard, but I think Phil Taylor plays
better than he did last week, purely because hes had a confidence boosting
weekend, and will win this one.Watch night two of the Premier League this
