What's the over under on a new contract for "Bitzy"? (I'm just assuming that's what they call him, hockey players are not too imaginative when it comes to nicknames...)

I don't see any chance. AV isn't a huge fan of enforcer types as it is, and the major penalty Bitz took in game #1( or 2) was pretty blatant and stupid

Neither are hockey crowds for that matter. Amazing that "Go, (insert team name), Go" is pretty much the only real cheer you'll hear in any hockey stadium in NA. I was reminded of this recently after going to a Whitecaps game and hearing roughly half a dozen songs in the first 15 mins (admittedly many taken from England and tweaked).

That was a brutal penalty to take and the guy never stayed healthy. That said, when he actually did play, he was pretty good. Didn't happen much though.

As I said other times I would love to see Dorsett, or even Mike Brown. Both guys can skate, hit, play a reguler 4th line shift and can fight and defend teamates.
