Season Over for Schremp

UPDATE: 1:53PM-3/17/2010: Rob Schremp started physical therapy today at the Professional Athletic Performance Center in Garden City. He says his knee is doing well, but is a little sore.

The surgery he opted for was not a major surgery and the recovery time is approximately four weeks.




It has been reported by Islanders Point Blank's Chris Botta that 23 year old forward Rob Schremp is out for the rest of the season with a torn meniscus in his right knee. The injury requires surgery, but the date of surgery is so far unknown.

The injury, according to Schremp, occurred way back in November. He was afraid to lose playing time, so he decided to play through the pain. In Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, Schremp says he felt his knee buckle, which he knew was not a good sign. Every time he went on the forecheck for the rest of the night he was nervous to get into the corners for loose pucks because he did not want guys such as Scott Hartnell and Chris Pronger hitting him hard, thus ruining his knee completely.

Schremp finished the season with seven goals and 18 assists for 25 points in 44 games.

And another one bites the dust. Schremp was having a solid season before this injury had occured.

He is a class act who loves the game. His talent level is very high, he has just yet to display it all in full force. He has hands of gold and at times has showed it. Maybe next season will be a break out year for him. Here's to a speedy recovery for Rob Schremp.
