Injury Report: Tyler Bertuzzi out 4-6 weeks (upper body)

[Bench]

He should call Brett Favre and see if he can get one of those copper fit wrist/hand thingies. They're scientifically proven. He'll be back to bailing hay in no time.

Edit: Favre might be a bit busy these days.

Are we talking about Vikings legend Brett Favre?

I am a hockey player! You want me to play with one hand, huh!? I'll play with one hand! Get off me! Does that make you happy?

The horse avatar.... we can call you "Mr. Hands"

It's 3 weeks and 2 days since injury....

... could see him playing at West coast trip, when it's +4weeks.

7 - 10 days puts Bert back potentially at Anaheim next week, but possibly CBJ that Saturday at latest.

We'll see if he travels with the team. Having the timetable be mid road trip makes it interesting.

Damn. It will be hard to trade Zadina with this recent injury.

Damn. It will be hard to trade Zadina with this recent injury.

Wouldn't make sense to trade him without letting him play with Vrana first. Timeframe for return is probably around the same, Put them on the "4th" line with Joey as center and it creates a huge matchup problem for any opponent.

Bert coming back is huge, Copp gets some help on the second line no matter how Fester shuffles the wingers.
