Bert shouldn't be in the top 6 after showing nearly nothing in the preseason.

is Rasmussen really expected to be on the 4th line? that would be a huge disappointment. I dont want him playing 10 min a night in a checking role.
Really? Where did you see that?Today They just used:
Bert Larkin Mantha
Ras Neilson Nyquist
Vanek AA Abby
EHN Glenny Helm
He scored mostly in games playing with the top line. This is just an example of the Kunitz effect. He's not a top 6 player any more than Abdelkader or Helm are top 6 players. There are more talented players that are being shifted down the lineup to inflate his stat line.He should be in the top 6 based on his 48 regular season games last season.
Its should be up to LarkinBert shouldn't be in the top 6 after showing nearly nothing in the preseason.
He was good in preseason. Just because he didn’t score a lot doesn’t mean he was bad.Bert shouldn't be in the top 6 after showing nearly nothing in the preseason.
He took stupid penalties, was chasing the play, and didn't score. Doesn't sound like top 6 material to me.He was good in preseason. Just because he didn’t score a lot doesn’t mean he was bad.
On our team, Top 6 yes...On a contender, 3rd line. He has IQ, decent, vision, grit, tenacity, net front presence, decent offense & defense, team player, youth, physical pest, plays bigger than 190 lbs. He is our Swiss Army knife a la Dan Cleary.He took stupid penalties, was chasing the play, and didn't score. Doesn't sound like top 6 material to me.
Apologies for my ineptitude ... but does it appear as though Libor Sulak is going to start the season in Detroit?
Its should be up to Larkin

So... he shouldn't play on the top line this year... because he spent so much time getting points on the top line last year??He scored mostly in games playing with the top line.

"Lil'Bertuzzi" is a classic example of hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. I get why people like him, blue collar grit player. It's a feel good story. But it's not like he's a super talented player.
