    What is going on with Filip Chytil and his latest injury?

    How badly is Fiery Filip Chytil hurt? That's the question that should be asked, insists my sidekick Jess Rubenstein.

    Okay, so I ask it and – well – you know the rest; you are plunged into the realm of anatomical mystery.

    All you get from the Rangers hospital orderlies is "Upper-Body Injury."

    Here are the "Upper Body" possibilities:

    1. HEAD: Fil got a bad haircut. (That can hurt a man.)

    2. NECK: A stiff neck from listening to Lavvy's warmed over speeches from last year.

    3. CHEST: No comment.

    4. ARMS: Arthritic hands from signing so many autographs for The Faithful.

    As you can see, it's futile to guess unless your third-cousin-twice-removed also happens be the Rangers head medic. But he'll only tell you what The Maven tells you – bad haircut.

    On a more serious note, whenever Fiery Fil is out with yet another injury, the inevitable wound is to his cranium, alias head, alias upper-body injury.

    CONCLUSION: Let's hope it's only a bad haircut until we're told
