74 and 11 are flyyyyyyying

Who?s dat?

Flip McMann for Bert the rest of the way.  59 has done nothing to deserve being in the top 6.

I wish they would give him 5-10 games on a scoring line (off the 4th line) that needs a guy around the blue paint and 2nd PP ice time.

No time like the present. 

Dial Bert back and hope that he figures out how to score goals again.  Who knows, maybe he does turn it on in the playoffs?

The type of goals he scores are often the sort of goal when checking is tight. They need a guy like that on each line.

You know for all the shit people would give nylander for his salary and his effort/production compared to the almost nothing you hear about Bertuzzi and his salary/production is puzzling.

 

[ZBBM]

McCabe's beak is busted again.

 

[ZBBM]

Noah blah x2

 

[ZBBM]

BOooooooo

 

[Bender]

Nothing for checking McCabe on the numbers and bleeding all over the place.

I mean I've talked about him a lot. Maybe not the talking heads though.

I didn?t mean so much around here - yeah like you said the talking heads and the vinnies from Woodbridge et al

Lots have complained about Bert's production. Difference is Bert's effort is seldom lacking. Willy on the other hand

 

[herman]

Robby showing that can do attitude and hella heavy shot on that drive

 

[ZBBM]

Sammy has been solid.  Nice save there.

I don?t agree with that at all. I?ve not seen anything from Bertuzzi away from the scoring side that?s in any way impressive.

He's looked very good tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

All those missed chances (Bert, Gregor, and one for Matthews) could come back to bite us in the glutes.

Bert never lacks effort is the point.

Not saying this is the case in these two players, but there is something to the appearance of effort and effectiveness.

Bertuzzi has terrible skating so everything actually takes and looks like a lot of effort. Nylander has that Swedish-instilled calm-upper body skating technique so it appears effortless when he?s really going; he definitely makes very judicious applications of effort so when he dogs it at the end of a shift after multiple failed drives, it?s very obvious. Whether any of that is actually effective shows up on the stats sheet eventually.

Generating consistent offense is the hardest thing to do in hockey.

Got nothing to do with skaking technique. Willy is flat out lazy at times.

Might have to do with being one of the highest paid players in the league. People probably expect more.

 

[ZBBM]

You guys can debate Nylander & Bert's effort all you want, but one thing you CANNOT deny is that our PP has been in top form AGAIN tonight.
