1. I really doubt Bert would sit out if he was cleared to go, unless he has an injury which is so badly affecting him that he thinks he'd hurt the team rather than help it by being on the ice. Honestly I just think he isn't being allowed to play.
2. I don't think Bertuzzi would make a big difference against Calgary anyways, Calgary knows what to expect when it comes to Bert from all the time they had playing against him while he was in Vancouver. Certainly it'd be better to have him on the ice, but in the end if the Wings can't beat Calgary without him they're in a lot of trouble anyways.
3. We didn't get to be #1 seed in the Western conference because of Bertuzzi, we have the personnel to make up for his absence, I think. Hopefully F ranzen, Filp and Hudler get some more ice time in his absence.
