Byron Bitz has been recalled

Who do you guys think is tougher and better 4th liner?

Tim Jackman, Chris Thorburn, Travis Moen.

No harm in seeing what Bitz can do while Higgins is on the mend though.

is Higgy having staff issues again?

Apparently he's having some side effects from the staph medication

According to AV the medication he was on caused the problem, they've changed his medication he can keep food down and is improving

Bitz is out again with hip soreness. It cant be a good thing considering his past surgeries. Hopefully we dont file away Bitz with the Magnus Arvedson's of our past.

Gillis spoke to that yesterday, said they wanted Bitz playing more so he would be ready to go should we need him down the road.

He had a great start with the big club, but then it was obvious that he was going to be a 3rd liner at best and in his last game was a clear 4th line player.

He's got the makings of a guy that will step up the physical game for playoff hockey and make a dent in opponents on the dump and chase. I'm sure we'll see him in the post-season.
