haha, he said cheli wants to room with him.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Bertuzzi:

He wants to bring size and speed (no brainer) to the Wings!

They just cracked a joke about Cheli and him!

He kind of dodged the question about staying in Detroit after this season. They pressed him harder, and he said he might stay if things work out well and he stays healthy.

______________

Take that as you will.

He sounds pretty excited to be here. I can't wait to see this guy in a Wings uniform.

[Guest LivingtheDream]

i don't feel like he avoided that last question...he directly said that he would definitely be back if he stayed healthy and the fans and city really took to him.

Holland spoke earlier and stated the redwings' doctor and another team back specialist spoke w/florida's doctors about bert's situation. He said he's been skating w/the panthers for the past 3-4 weeks and Ken fully expects Bert to be back w/in 2 weeks or so.

during one of the commercial breaks on 1130WDFN, the update guy (i think it was derry) said that holland expects bertuzzi to be in the lineup by the end of march. so i guess that puts him at about 4 weeks away? that's not so bad...

They are replaying the Holland interview and he is saying middle March.

Says Calder can actually dump AND chase. Gritty.

Here are the most recent updates on Bertuzzi's back situation. Like I said above, Holland expects Bertuzzi to be in the lineup by the end of March...maybe middle of March...

2/23/2007

Bertuzzi (back) will not play before Tuesday's trade deadline, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. Bertuzzi is practicing again, but is still not ready to get back into games. He is one of the bigger names on the market for the trade deadline.

2/20/2007

Bertuzzi (back surgery) practiced with the team on Monday, but will not travel to Tampa for the Panthers' game against the Lightning on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald. Bertuzzi's situation is still unstable. "As we know it has gone up and down, and right now it's on a positive side," Panthers assistant coach Guy Charron said. "So, hopefully there is no setback and he can continue and improve."

2/17/2007

Bertuzzi (back surgery) has not practiced with the Panthers in more than a week, meaning a return to the lineup within the next week is not probable, according to the Miami Herald reports. Bertuzzi's back tightened up during the flights involved with the Panthers' last road trip, which has led to toned down activity since. He continues to indicate there will be little fanfare immediately before his return and that he'll just jump on the ice. Still, we don't see that happening particularly soon.

2/14/2007

Bertuzzi (back surgery) has suffered a setback and will not be ready for Saturday's game, according to the Palm Beach Post. The new target date for his return is Tuesday. Florida coach Jacques Martin said the setback is both minor and normal and shouldn't cause any alarm.

2/13/2007

Bertuzzi (back surgery) did not travel with the team for its two-game road trip, according to the Miami Herald. This means Bertuzzi is out until at least Saturday, which was the last confirmed target date for his return anyway. Coach Jacques Martin said Bertuzzi will "get therapy and hopefully do some skating" in the meantime.

2/10/2007

Bertuzzi (back) may not be able to return to action before the Feb. 27 NHL trade deadline, TSN.ca reports. The Panthers have been hopeful that he'd be able to return late next week, which would ultimately raise his trade value as an opportunity for Florida to showcase Bertuzzi for any potential suitors. We'll continue to track his availability.

2/6/2007

Bertuzzi (back surgery) had his first full workout with the Panthers on Monday and is targeting a return on February 17th at home against Tampa Bay, The Palm Beach Post reports. Make sure you have Bertuzzi reserved until he actually plays a game for Panthers. It may take him awhile to get going again since he has been out for such an extended period of time.

Didn't sound like he wanted to talk about Colorado, though, eh?

[hillbillywingsfan 792]

I'm going to be recording the Bertuzzi interview on the radio..so if you all are patient I will post it word for word!

did you get the recording?

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Bert sounds SO much different than I'd ever think. I mean I've heard him talk a million times before but he just sounds much different than he looks. If that makes sense?

And I thought it was great that he said he hopes the Wings fans will cheer for him. OH HELL YES WE WILL!

[Jocu 0]

Good interview, thanks for the .mp3.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

did you get the recording?

I put my tape in to record at 5 thinking he'd be on right around there and then I go back to see if it records and the second Bert comes on my tape stops.

Anyone know if they'll repeat the interview?

There's no question that it is potentially a good move. I have a problem with Bertuzzi being able to play in the NHL in general. I could get over hating him because he was on an opposing team and was a tough player to play against. What I will never get over are his actions on the ice in Colorado. Those were the actions of a monster and I will never cheer him on in good conscience.

[Zetter is Better 0]

LMAO some nimrod called in to WDFN trashing Holland for making the move to Get Bert and Calder. He was saying that Calder is not better than Willie, and that Bert is going to get beat up, and injured and the Wings aren't going anywhere. He then said that the Wings need to find a GM who actually knows a little about hockey. AHAHAHA.

$50 says it was Willie
