... jerseys that were actually pretty nice but someone musta stole the stripes on the back of their socks. The mongoloid above in blue and orange is none other than Mitch Fritz, who is a traitor. After the Hartford Wolf Pack kept him around despite him being injured for most of last season, he jumped ship to the Isles. Bastard; it woulda been fantastic to see the big man in a Ranger jersey at some point. Ah well, hopefully on Tuesday Colton Orr will fare better than Georges Laraque did last night. ...

... Mitch Fritz, for your first NHL fight, in your second NHL game, you draw ... Georges Laraque. Good luck! Turns out Fritz did excellently, clearly confounding Laraque by virtue of his long reach and ability to use both hands. ...

The 6'8 beanstalk is the Isle's new enforcer and Cote will have his hands full with him tonight. Check out how he took out BGL. Cote will have to channel his inner Rick Tocchet in order to slay this giant. Look for them to go early, with Cote showing everyone that: "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the punch to the chin." An undercard of Asham vs. Witt would add to the ...
