Steve Downie Out Due To Conditioning, As Per Steve Downie

I was at the autograph signing tonight, and he was nice enough to tell me he was a scratch against the Rangers because the coaches thought he needed to get into better shape. It's a real shame because even in the apparent poor shape that he's in, he's twice the player Boulerice is. He'll be back against Buffalo, fortunately.

Downie is a really nice guy, despite what a lot of people think and what some of his on ice actions indicate. He's really humble, and he's not a guy like Laraque who's an idiot off the ice about the things he does on it.
