Bye-Bye Bissi (aka Biz-Nasty), Hello Bourque!

I just had a gut feeling that some of the players the Penguins put on waivers yesterday would not clear to make it back to WB / S. One of those players I had a gut feeling about was Paul Bissonnette and GUESS WHAT - the Phoenix Coyotes claimed him off of waivers today (BOOOO!)!!! There goes a good fighter / enforcer, but like the Pensblog said, he'll get more playing time on that team then he would've here in Pittsburgh.

We'll definitely miss you on the ice Biz Nasty!!!!!

In related news, the Penguins picked up forward Chris Bourque off waivers today (NO - not the son of Phil Bourque, but the son of RAY Bourque). Bourque was drafted in the second round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft (33rd overall) and spent the last five years with the Washington organization.

I'd say the Penguins are taking [new] shape and it's only a few days before the season begins!!
