Edit: Ah, that came from the article; I misunderstood, Al.  I was going to say, "Time flies." ;-)

Yes, it does.  His game-winner against Harvard as a sophomore (I think that's the right year.) is still fresh in my memory.

If you think "time flies" now, Kyle, wait till you're 65?::worry::

April 9: Boston vs. Montreal means Bitz vs. O'Byrne in what's looking like WWE on Ice.  Cornell alumni have 16 PIM  before halftime.  (Most of that is Ryan O'Byrne's double minor and game misconduct for bumping Shawn Thornton during a stoppage, after which he was beaten down by Thornton.)  NESN commentator is saying nice things about Byron Bitz and calling Ryan O'Byrne a dirty goon (no argument here) almost in the same sentence - I'm still waiting for him to make the connection.

Does NESN even know that there are college hockey teams west of Hamden?::smashfreak::

Pretty poor form from O'Byrne again in a Bruins/Habs matchup. Last time he went head hunting on Chuck Kobasew during the final seconds of a Boston win, now he's throwing his shoulder into guys during timeouts and then turtling when they try to get in his face about it.

Wait what am I saying, he fits in perfectly with the rest of the Canadiens. ::wank::

Awesome. Took someone less than an hour to find the new smiley.

I am a fan, and it fit perfectly for the emotions I was trying to convey. :-D

Hmm, I don't know. ::cheer:: was about all O'Byrne was doing during the second period last night thanks to his roughing and misconduct.

It was a great hockey game too. Plenty of good ol fashioned dislike and 9 goals. Bitz got a couple looks at the net, but his play of the game was a green light check on one of MTL's defenders who was having a little trouble with the puck between his skates behind the net.

Well, he should have been feeling shame! (I can't find an appropriate emoticon for that) And if these stupid trips to the sin bin continue, these will be quite appropriate:
::twak::, ::smashfreak::
and his teammates will be saying: ::stupid::
