[quote Robb]That is certainly what military pilots would call a "target rich environment."[/quote]

The CDC has another name for it.

Caught David LeNeveu played for the Iowa Chops at the Houston Aeros on Saturday night.  Lenny played pretty well.  Gave up just one goal as the Chops lost in the shootout.  His one goal came with a hard slapshot from the right face-off circle beat him stick-side (might have gone between the elbow).  I don't remember the shoot out goals very well, but he had a number of saves.

Matt Moulson scored his second pro hat trick in Manchester's 7-2 rout of Lowell on Saturday night.

After two, Boston is up 3-1 on Florida after Byron Bitz's 2nd NHL goal, a a deflection of a Stephane Yelle shot.

Bitz is on FIRE! He just got his 3rd NHL goal on a fat, juicy rebound. ::banana::

Bitz made the pass to send Yelle down the middle, so he did the work to set up that "juicy rebound" of Yelle's shot.

Boston crowd chanting "we want Bitz" with 1 minute left and a 6-1 lead, hoping that he'd get a chance for the hat trick.  Julien sent him out to a big ovation, but he didn't get a chance.  He's become a bit of a cult hero out here.

With just over a minute left, the crowd was chanting "We want Bitz" so he'd have a final chance for a hat trick.  He did come on as they were chanting, but settled for a two goal game.

The Bruins radio broadcast named Bitz as #1 star after his 2-goal effort tonight.  He also gave a nice interview, although the interviewer called him "Bitsy" a number of times (I know some don't care for that particular nickname).

I didn't catch the game, but there should be some good highlights on local TV tonight.

"Grinder Bitz nets two as Bruins dismantle Panthers"


I added the emphasis.  I think we will take a headline like this about a Cornell alum any day.
