CORAL SPRINGS Newly acquired right wing Byron Bitz's greatest
memory of his fledgling NHL career came last year when he notched
his only multiple-goal game against the Panthers in a 6-1 victory
by the Bruins and the TD Banknorth Garden faithful began chanting,
‘We want Bitz,' with under a minute to play.
"All of a sudden the chants started,'' Bitz happily recalled
Thursday after participating in his first practice with the
Panthers since being acquired from the Bruins Wednesday along with
minor league winger Craig Weller for veteran defenseman Dennis
Seidenberg.
"No one could make it out but it got louder and louder. Everyone
on the bench was like, ‘It's awesome.' They were loving it
and the coach threw me out there to get the third one. It was
definitely a memorable experience.''
