Mighty Wings 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 About time. I hope he's on with Z and datsyuk sometimes, so that the calgary players don't take liberties with those 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esteef 2,679 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Glad to hear it. Always liked Bert, even throughout the Steve Moore crap, regardless of calfan's sweeping generalizations. What's the alternative for people who dislike(d) him? Not root for your team because they signed Bert, (which we had no say in of course)? moving on... esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fan for 30 years, and now he wont watch a single game when Bertuzzi is on the ice. Quite a fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShamesFan 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 I appreciate why this wouldn't be taken as an objective view, but I really don't get the Bertuzzi love in. Based on his years in vancouver he's basically Holmstrom with better puck skills, way less tenacity, and a flair for really stupid penalties. He's big, but not tough or intimidating. Just hard to move. Most importantly he almost single-handedly cost his team 2 trips deep into the playoffs with stupid actions. The best you can hope for is he does what Holmstrom does - which is pretty damn effective. At worst he'll cost you your season. He'll probably do neither.

ShamesFan 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Bertuzzi's not tough or intimadating ? I think you must be talking about his best buddie Naslund That's the weird part. I doub't you'll find a many flames fans worried about bert physically. Markov, Lilja...even Franzen yes. Bert not so much.I'm sure he'll throw a hit or two. I'm sure he'll have a few more guys bounce off him. But I'd say there's a better chance a guy like Hudler turns in a magical performance than bertuzzi. I'm worried he'll park his ass in front of Kipper and finish off plays that guys like datsyuk start, but that's it. Maybe I've just forgotten, but if you check out Flames boards there might be more people excited that berts coming back than anything else. There's a better than even chance he'll be in the box or floating while an important goal is scored by Calgary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Let's hope his return can wrap up the series early. Then we can be sure both him and Zetterberg get the rest they need to be sure they've recovered from their injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look I'm not trying to dampen the glory of the ass kicking you guys handed us last night. Just find it an interesting story line that some wings fans are awaiting some kind of arnie on skates, while flames fans are thinking he's just a slow, stupid version of dustin penner. It's like it's 2 different guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like it's 2 different guys. I know what you're saying. And I'm not too keen on Bert actually going out on the ice to fight people. I'd rather him just be strong on the puck at all times like the power forward Detroit has so desparately needed for a while now. If he ends up fighting to defend himself or one of his mates then so be it. esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just find it an interesting story line that some wings fans are awaiting some kind of arnie on skates, while flames fans are thinking he's just a slow, stupid version of dustin penner. It's like it's 2 different guys. Trust me, most of the people on this board would think the same thing if he didn't play for the Wings. People don't want to give Bertuzzi any credit, because of the Moore incident. It was the same on this board before the trade. The truth lies somewhere in between. Bertuzzi can be a dominant player when he's right. He skates and handles the puck exceptionally well for a man his size, and when he hits people, he does serious damage. He's not a fighter (like some think) and doesn't go out of his way to be especially physical. Your comparison to Holmstrom isn't that far off actually. They are similar players. Betuzzi is just bigger and more skilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like it's 2 different guys. The sheer size of the guy just gets us riled up. I don't even think the organization had jerseys that big until they traded for him. Also, have you seen our other players? It's a reason to get excited for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedStormRising 7 Report post Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) 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 I know I for one never had a problem with Bertuzzi, and now I'm very glad that he is on the Wings and beating Calgary right out of the playoffs... It is going to be so great seeing him knock those Flamers around. Also, you should read The Code. GO WINGS! Edited April 14, 2007 by RedStormRising Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
