Player Discussion: Tyler Bertuzzi

[HIFE]

If he's called back up he better step the f*** up. Frk last night was absolutely flying, throwing body checks and crashing the net. I was defending Bert earlier and realize he's a year younger than Frk, but if he can't raise his game up with the same intensity I don't see the point. Pathetic he's not able to steal Booth's job.

 

[Henkka]

Well poop.

Sounds like Blashill is getting desperate and trying to keep his job.

I want to see rather Booth than Bertuzzi.

Oh wait.

Lil Bert has been recalled due to the wrist injury suffered by Luke Glendening. He needs to stay up this time.

hopefully he'll get a better opportunity than 7min on the 4th line (which doesn't really exist anyway)

I was excited last night when we came out with a real 4th line centered by Glendening, but he had to go and ruin it.

Better go back and watch what trash told him to do!!! Its on the dolt not the player in this case.

What is the update on Luke's injury? Any timeframe yet?

absolutley, his "game" is intensity -as someone who never played hockey, i assume intensity and effort are elements that you can bring every night

Haven't heard any thing yet, He has a soft cast on his wrist. Which usually means 4-6 weeks.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Hopefully now Blashill give Tyler Bertuzzi a chance he's probably on the team now if it weren't for his injury before seasons start.

Yeah, regardless of what Blashill did or didnt say, Bertuzzi needs to realize what his bread and butter is and play to his strengths. He should be going out there and taking a run or 2 at Mcavoy and get a matching roughing with Marchand. Get a few players after him. Points will come but he needs to show his style of play, even if he isnt scoring can contribute a bit by drawing a penalty or pissing off the other team a bit

 

[cjm502]

Something Bert has completely failed to do so far is give the coaches and managment a reason to leave him with the big club and in the lineup. You only get so many chances to show what you have got, and if you fail to show anything those chances run out quicker and quicker. Let's hope he brings some swagger and confidence with him this time after a good game with the Griffs yestersay.

Kinda hard to do that if the coach told you not to and sits you for doing so right?

I dunno. It seems like he sits you for listening to him so I would go out and show him how effective I can be playing that way. The wings drafted and developed Bert to be a tough to play against player, if management sees him playing that style and like it Blashill can go pound salt. If Bert plays that way and hes more effective ( he will be), Blash wont sit him, hes just telling him to relax out there to make him more comfortable probably

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

According to Blashill about 4 weeks on Luke, Which means he's probably out for 8 weeks now.

 

[TheMule93]

Losing Glendening actually kinda sucks. Hes by FAR our best faceoff guy.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Mitch Callahan 2.0???

 

[TheMule93]

Mitch Callahan 2.0???

bertuzzi's hockey IQ is actually greater than 40, and he just came off of a game that was significantly better than any game Callahan has ever played in his life

 

[Dotter]

Bertuzzi had some really nice shifts last game and showed some nice players. He also had some bad shifts and didn't look too good on the D side of the puck. He played 17:58 minutes last game against Boston. He needs to be better defensively.

 

[TheMule93]

Hes finally starting to put it together at this level. Two great games in a row.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

1 point now. Took him 3 games

Last year he didn’t get a single one in 7

 

[Redder Winger]

He looked better with the puck today. Wasn't as disruptive though.
Still, two pretty good games now.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

On a team that struggles to win puck battles at times Bertuzzi is a real asset. Glad to see the uptick in his game in this callup, he should stay in the lineup, he brings something other guys aren't right now in terms of his compete level. Hopefully he keeps building on it.

 

[obey86]

I thought he looked terrible last season when called up. Looking like he could be a solid contributor now though.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Great game from Bert
