Bertuzzi

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I know a lot of folks were quick to jump on Bert earlier this season, but I thought he has played well throughout the season. The difference is shots started going in, things started to click. I'm glad hes been scoring recently, but I expect some hot/cold streaks throughout the season.

I was happy when we signed him cause we needed goals, he has been right about on schedule for my expectations.

I think Bertuzzi having success as of late is a little of a surprise. I didn't expect this type of play from him this season.

Especially with the injuries and the play of other certain roster players this year. Bertuzzi has really helped the team get a few wins now. We can sit here and complain about the teams play. But I can't complain about him!

Bert absolutely had to step it up and he knew that. He has turned in to more of a lazy player throughout the years, but look what happens when he steps it up. He is doing great for us right now.

The team's crippled with injuries and Bertuzzi's stepped it up BIG TIME. He was signed as a complementary player and right now he's our go-to scorer. I'm sure Holland is pretty happy with this signing right now.

And if/when he comes back down to Earth he's still only making 1.5 million, oh well, he's not being paid to be a superstar anyway, right?

Bert's learned to important words this season: "Back" and "Check".

You forget this board's ridiculous reaction to the 1.2 million, 40-45 point producing Samuelsson.

You're setting yourself up for disaster. Bertuzzi is a streaky scorer and chances are he's going to go on another extended scoring drought again.

I'm not sure about 'disaster', but it's a valid point. The thing is though, his expectations were low coming into the season, then his role was increased due to injury, and soon it will decrease due to injured players returning. This will lead to more cold streaks and 'Bert is lazy and he sucks' threads, subsequently creating more threads like THIS one when he starts scoring again.

The fact is, he stepped up when our team desperately needed people to step up. If he cools down when we have a healthier roster, meh, I remain unconcerned.

Bert is a 20 goal scorer. If he gets more, that's great, and hes on pace. He has plenty of weaknesses, sure, but his upside is there, and like Drake said, at that price, he's almost already paid for himself.... I can think of three recent games off the top of my head where he had the game winner or shootout winner.

For a whole nother million dollars, Samuelsson has 2 more points. I only realized that last night, Berts been great all year, hope he keeps it up.

Lol this makes me smile. The last time I checked on Sammy's stats, it was about 5 games into the season and he was on pace for like 50 goals or something.

That makes me feel good haha.

I know he's streaky, but that's why he's making 1.5 million. Good signing Kenny.

with his good puckhandling skills he is perfect fit for the Red Wings. And I'm more than happy with Bert. However, even more importantly, that we finally got out first line set. There is no need to break this line when injured players will start returning.

PS Hope Holland signs Bert for two more years, 1.5M per.
