Its getting close to getting ugly in Ranger-land. Apparently Kevin Weekes isn't all too thrilled with his 'Injured Reserve' status. He knows very well why he was placed on the inactive list, and is close to coming right out and saying so.
Glen Sather was banking on Weekes being too intimidated to actually 'come out', and say why he believes he was erroneously placed on the IR.
What Glen doesn't know is that Weekes has another ace up his sleeve. Namely the race card. While there is no racism involved here, just the run of the mill homophobia(which in Kevin's case is justified) it won't stop Weekes from claiming just that if he isn't reinstated at some point before too long.
We're told it may come to a head(sort a speak) by early October. We're also told a demotion to Hartford would NOT bother Kevin as this would give him more time "to spend with the guys" on those long AHL bus rides.
As always, keep it here for the latest on the Weekes saga as it unfolds

The truth behind Weekes' supposed 'groin injury' seems to be surpressed by the mainstream media covering the team. Almost to a man they know why weekes' is now 'sidelined indefinitly'. 'To be truthful', one source tells IHATEWEEKES they needed an excuse to get him the hell away from the younger players.
It seems Kevin resumed his predatory activity as soon as training camp began. Apparently approaching a number of the younger prospects. Usually nude in the shower offering to "lather them up".
One shaken player asked to be sent back to juniors as soon as they could. Its rumored he may even leave hockey all together.
Its not known how long the charade of this faux injury can continue, but if Sather doesn't get a trade, he may resort to hiring a hit man to really injure the gay goalie.
Stay tuned as this story develops

Former New Jersey Governor, Jim McGreevey came out of the closet 2 years ago. Now he's touring with a new book detailing his 'secret life.' What does this have to do with our favourite goalie, Kevin Weekes?
Well, most importantly its the parallels in life styles. While Weekes is never mentioned in the book by name, they both apparently used some of the same tactics/hangouts to hook up with fellow fudge packers. Most notably the Jersey Turnpike rest stop parking lots.
From McGreevey's book, and from sources close to Weekes, both would 'cruise the scene,' and often hook up with one, sometimes multiple fruits at one of the northern Jersey turnpike rest stops.
Weekes' favourite was the Vince Lombardi stop, though he also was spotted on several occasions at the Thomas Edison stop as well.
It would be unlikely that the 2 never crossed paths. If we are given additional information we will be sure to send it on to our loyal readers.
In other news Kevin Weekes' contract status and life style has apparently soured most GM's to take him on, despite what Glen Sather would like. It is also possible the Rangers may send the gay goalie to Hartford to start the season, hoping that someone would claim him on his demotion wavers.
