Rick DiPietro

[pixburgher66]

So, he apparently had a very candid interview discussing his situation getting waived:

DiPietro on Waivers: ?They ripped my heart out, stabbed it, set it on fire? | Islanders Point Blank

And he even considered killing himself at one point. Man.

Considered killing himself, but then was reminded of this:

Rick DiPietro on report that he has contemplated suicide: "100 percent" facetious in his interview with @KMaherNews12 #Context

if true ... what a turd!

*fires up DiPietro jokes*

 

[pixburgher66]

Well...that's really silly. Considering the Rypien situation and many others, you don't throw that around lightly. Also, that reporter should be ashamed for doing that just to get hits. Sad.

Rick DiPietro: Suicide comments were 'totally kidding' - NHL - Sporting News

Context is nice. Still, shame on the guy who tweeted that irresponsibly. Now people hate Ricky more, hah.

Can't hang this on RDP. They were one on one and the reporter made a meal of something RDP flippantly said. If RDP was joking the reporter should have made that clear. I really don't blame players for not wanting to give interviews when jack-asses turn around and cut your throat with this shit.

Not for nothing, but anyone that's ever spoken w/Rick DiPietro or people that know him realize he's way too in love w/himself to end it all

After hearing the actual line, I agree. He essentially said it had been a tough few years and that without his wife he "probably would've driven into a tree or something." NOT the same as how the reporter made it seem, especially when combined with the heart comments.

“We are aware of Rick’s comments today and the severity of them. We will handle them internally as we do with all player matters.
