Nitschke Misses Team Bus
Word out of Blues camp today is that David Nitschke might be fined by the team or benched for the next game as punishment for missing the team bus. "It's unacceptable," said manager Daniel Stevens. "He should know better and should take responsibility for his actions. Something needs to be done to curb this behavior before it becomes a real problem." Pressed for a comment, Nitschke simply said, "I overslept. It happens."
