I am confident he will be fine. I haven't watched to many wings games this year, but I specifically tuned in to the past few to watch Bertuzzi. I didn't think he looked out of place, and was doing his best to provide a spark.
More time in the weight room will help him succeed at this level, but I think the hockey IQ, knowledge and heart are there to be a pretty legit middle 6 player. In fact, as a leafs fan, since he was drafted I was always hoping to spark a trade for him (and still do).
Getting ready for Vanek's return on Sunday i would assume.
Nah. He doesn't have to go down yet.. Could have stayed up. When he returns, Mantha has to go too though.
Yup to be able to fit Vanek's $2.6 million both Lil Bert and Mantha would eventually need to be sent back down. But both could stay up for now.
Did he forget his things or something?
Alright...
What's the status with vanek?
So did someone just get injured today?
Helm dislocated his shoulder last game, remember?
Larkin - Nielsen - Abdelkader
Mantha - Zetterberg - Nyquist
Tatar - Sheahan - Bertuzzi
Miller - Glendening - Ott
These are the lines I would like to see, don't know if the ''Glendening on the 2nd line'' experiment is over or not, it worked last game.
Vanek will be back so Miller or Ott will be sitting. Bert will likely be on the 4th line
Vanek will only be back on Sunday, I think. What happens then is up in the air, though.
Alright...
