Marian Gaborik update: 

From the Wild: Marian Gaborik’s hip surgery went well and as expected. He’ll begin rehab immediately. The best line? Next update in six weeks.

Oh Boston. You gotta love it. Everybody here sounds like my sports editor, which actually freaks me out just a tad. 

I was trying to muster up the energy to write something on here, and well, I got nuttin! Believe it or not, just this once, for the first time since Russo’s Rants was invented by the powers-that-be, I’ve got squat to offer you.

I can write a 20-inch blog about how great of an airline Jet Blue is and how cool Jet Blue’s new terminal 5 is at JFK — like no other terminal I’ve ever seen – but I don’t even have the stamina right now to offer you the usual nonsense you don’t care about anyway.

I don’t even feel like an unprovoked attack toward Kevin Falness, so now you know I’m sluggish.

Today’s wee-hour of the morning flights sucked the life right out of me. Good thing I had an Owen Nolan story in the can ready to write, too. The Wild just arrived in Boston and coach Jacques Lemaire scrapped practice — as I did expect.

The boys instead are gym-bound for a bit of a workout before it heads out for some clam chowder, I suppose.

I’ll talk to you after tomorrow’s morning skates.

I expect that everybody out there will be watching Canada-Sweden in the world junior championships championship tonight like me.

If I think of anything else to write, I’ll hop back on. Back to work.
