  1. excited to see Bitz making his debut. the dude isn't even 2 years out of college yet and already he's wearing a letter in Providence. the Bs have made it their identity to be a big, physical, and skilled team and Bitz brings just that. during training camp he stated he was modeling his game after Lucic.

    i'd fully expect him to drop the gloves right away but we're playing the embarrassingly-soft Canes today so fat chance on that happening.

  1. I think size is a big part of why they were recalled, Carolina is a big, physic team and with Lucic potentially out that's a whole lot of physical presence missing which St Pierre just can't match. Tonights lines should be interesting.

  1. PC and Clawed are auditioning their inventory of prospects on the farm. Smart and timely. Vladdy and MSP had their chance to show what they bring to the table. Hopefully Bitz can bring the bang...

    This Bruins front office and coaching staff are head and shoulders above the previous regime. Go B's!

  1. Carolina is a physical team? Excuse me, but where have I been the past couple years? They were soft enough, and hiring "new NHL" fan Paul Maurice only made them more pathetically fragile.
