Sick, didn't play Tuesday either.

Fitz just signed an inflated deal midway through last season. At the same time he signed his deal he broke his ribs against the Redskins and had a pretty crumby second half of the year. Fitz only revealed the broken ribs after the season ended.

I don't believe it - the Redskins defense never laid a hand on a Bills player that day.

I know right, Washington was awful that day.

Lundqvist doesn't strike me as a guy who would avoid a challenge.

He IMO is the key to Buffalo, ESPECIALLY now with the Williams signing. He has ability and a strong arm, but you can't expect to win 3-0. They need to unseat The Pats.

Can't agree there. It isn't strong at all. He has to put literally everything he has into down field throws. His asset is that he is a pretty smart guy, gets through his reads fairly quick.

This is a HUGE signing. They probably want it to be perfect. Off topic, is Fitz signed?
- Doogs

Yes, Arizona signed him for 8 more years at 120 million.

Obviously don't get to see many games here in Pittsburgh, but I must have missed that. I always thought he had the arm. Doesn't change his being key.

Why didn't he just sign back here in the REAL Pittsburgh and not Pittsburgh West. I figure that's where Hines and Farrior will wind up..

Actually the game to the NYR is just another game...I would gather if tonight was Game 1 of the EC Semi-finals all 3 injured/sick Rangers would be in...the fact that the Rangers didn't press these guys to play says something about how important it really is relative to what you will see a month from now...

No doubt on that. And on our side, we have a full complete team for maybe the first time in 2 seasons. We are currently streaking, and have sights set on getting the highest seed, longest duration with home ice, most momentum as we can.

Struggled with good teams early on. Started to win those games recently. Now at full power. Time to put it all together

So far I have lost Myers, MDZ, Ovi, Vanek, and Perry in my other hockey league. How the (frank) is one suppose to win a playoff series with all of those guys out?!?!

Not for that contract.

Definitely not for that contract. Just saying that is a pipe dream obviously.

I would say Sid finds his way on to the score sheet somehow. I can't wait

Watching Fitz play at Pitt was incredible. I've never seen anyone with his ability to go up and get the ball. Ever!!! I'd love him here cap hit aside.

2 assists, one coming on the power play.

As I have said before I am not a fan of Pitt but he was indeed a beast when he was there. some of those catches were unbelievable. Definitely fun to watch.

I'm saying a PP Goal and an assist.

everyone is buzzing today. love the excitement.

First shift, first shot, first...wait...sounds familiar somehow.

No doubt. No need to press a guy like Hank into action tonight when there's still many games to be played. Besides, it isn't like Biron hasn't been playing well. He's been good all year.
