Literally! And the only hope this team has is if the boyz that are capable of playing rough, play rough & tough, in spite of their gut-challenged "C".

Pietro reminds me of Federko in a strange kinda way. Supremely talented, with great hands and not much of a nose for the rough stuff. But a centerman can get away with that far more than a defenseman can. And more importantly, somebody or some people had the good sense to not make him a "C" and let him do his thing. He would have made a terrible "C". I recall he wore an "A" most of his career, except the one year Sutter was gone.

This little mini-break should be just what the doctor ordered. They will have no excuse for not coming out with max effort on Wed. night. against a dismal Kings team.
