...knights are better in blitz! Take it from someone who has played more than 50,000 blitz games! Most titled players I talk about this with agree that knights are better in blitz than bishops.>

The knight can/must change colors, the bishop cannot. Note the dark-squared knight advances to hit the two rooks on dark-squares. It takes time to calculate the different directions, jumps that a knight can make. Defensive calculations ("What will my opponent do next if I allow it?") often get omitted in blitz.
