Covenant 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 I might be the only nutjob who thinks Calgary won't be out for any retribution, but rather to get their game in gear. I know, I know.. some physicality will motivate the troops.. we all saw after the Schneider hit the Wings had some jump.. but really, these aren't the same bruising Flames as last time we met.

calfan 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 It's amazing where Wings fans have gotten to on the topic of Bertuzzi. The amount of disrespect and disdain this board showed for him back in 2004 and pretty much right up to when the Wings acquired him this year. There's a word for that, let's see, what was it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Oh ya - hypocrits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Paul: It's good that he was cleared to play and this isn't going to turn into a DiPietro-like concussion scenario. Hopefully it's Samuelsson that's scratched but it's probably going to be Hudler. Yup, feeling fine, and medically cleared [for what it's worth]. As for Sammy, I know there a few in here who dig him on the PP at the point, but I wasn't THAT impressed with him last night. To see Huds out for Game #2 would hurt a little, but at least Sammy was banging and hitting with the rest of the guys. All I know is i'd love to see our 4th line a little more.

Seriously though, you'd be hard pressed to find anybody back then who DIDN'T have a problem with the play. But guess what? It's in the past, so get over it (we did).

foreignfan 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Good old Don always says you never change a winning playoff lineup. btw Hudler didn't have the game Sam had. I am sure they are going to shuffle both in and out of the lineup. What a nice problem to have. Maybe we should get real creative in the line up, I mean something like Bert-datsyuk-Hank Holmstrom-lang-calder Samuelson-Drapes-Maltby Franzen-Filpula-Cleary What do you think?? right on! May I wonder what the hell is a Calgary fan doing in a Red WIngs site??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You HATE to play against certain players because they are such a great, tough, pain in the ass type of player but you'd love to have him on your team. The whole incident of 2004 is long gone. Believe me I was one of the worst ones as in showing my hatred for what he did..but I've gotten past it and I genuinely think he feels awful for it, but that's the past and this is now.

Sure many of us hated on Bertuzzi after the Steve Moore incident. But he's still a good player who provides something we haven't had on this team for quite some time, and he's in a position to really help this team. Why wouldn't we root for him?

RedRum #1 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Lang is getting absolutely ripped on Stoney and Wojo when they asked who should sit when Bertuzzi comes back. Out of every call each caller thought Lang should sit and basically said the same thing....he doesnt skate and he turns the puck over. Wojo was shocked at how big of a beef fans had with Bob. Curiously there was no mention of Samuelsson by any caller. I guess the Sammy hate is confined to the LGW board. Edited April 13, 2007 by RedRum #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 The Bertuzzi incident , In my opinon , Who cares anymore ? I feel terrible Moores Americain leaguer career is over. I also feel terrible for Bertuzzi because people ALWAYS BRING IT UP. When it comes down to it , Bertuzzis is a player , Moore is an injury call up , he was a cheap shotter and a loud mouth. Im not saying what Bert did was right , he was trying to stick up for his Best Friend and his Captain. Besides , it was the pile up that insued that caused the broken neck , Bert's paided his dues , get OFF HIS BACK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank and Pavel need to be together, so that ties up our two legit scoring centers on one line. Someone else has to get the second. Flipper's the only other guy around, and I doubt Mike's gonna trust a rookie, no matter how impressive, to anchor the second line in the playoffs.

Everyone's all 'Yeah, I agree..Lang should sit." "Lang should be out." "Lang needs to go." "Lang's a floater out there." "Lang is lackluster." "Lang needs to sit, Huds needs to play." and so on...
