BYRON BITZ RUMORS & GOSSIP

Canucks vs. Minnesota Wild blog: Love’ em & Hate’ em

Nice Moustache! The best part of the NHL‘s realignment plan that lasted for about six weeks was that the Vancouver Canucks and the Minnesota Wild would go from meeting six times a year to two. I have this theory, and it’s pretty out there, that Minnesota is a boring hockey team to watch. Hosting the Wild is a mundane experience but playing in Minnesota is a soul sucking...

Byron Bitz' Debut

Byron Bitz fired one shot in over eight minutes against the Avalanche on Sunday but contributed in the first period with a number of big hits and a solid fight with Cody McLeod. What did you think of his debut in a Canucks jersey? At the very least Vancouver seems to have found another "tough guy" to bolster the bottom six if Bitz can shake off the remaining rust.

Putting Lipstick On A Pig!

Not sure if this is a habit of toddlers in North Carolina, but for the Florida Panthers the beginning of the season will be all about telling us how optimistic we should be.  Maybe we should.  Or maybe we’ll come to our senses and realize that it’s better to not set the bar too high.  Low expectations is most likely the way you want to handle yourself for the upcoming...

Bitz proves upwardly mobile

For instance, his pinpoint dish to Milan Lucic Friday night in Buffalo resulted in Boston’s lone goal in regulation, and the flashy play no doubt will make...
