He has had one 30 goal season and two 20 goal seasons. Injury prone. A hot 7 games doesn't get 5 million from me. 4 goals in 21 regular season games with Boston. 8 in 50 games for the season I believe. He isn't worth 5 million.
You're welcome-see if he can extend his honeymoon period on Toronto Maple leafs. Team with the longest Stanley Cup drought. You got him for a year, see if his hands hold up.
@@Just_me_today oh I've been around too long watching Bobby Orr and what not to be "bitter." I'm going on six decades of this show... With only three Stanley cups! I am well accustomed to enjoying the ride and a little bit of chirpin when 57 out of those sixty years we don't get a Stanley Cup! This is a fun game... love going back and forth with hockey fans... Other sports don't get it. We're a family Habs are supposed to be our longest rivalry, but it's become more fun with leafs lately. We can't take this stuff personally. It's hockey! And eventually all this chirping at the leaves is going to end up biting Us in the arse... You know how it works! I have mad respect for Bert, didn't take that poison poke either. I'm just laughing because he's managed to find his way to the team with the longest Stanley Cup drought! You can see the irony in that! I think it was raining yesterday and I was bored drinking coffee all day, so I probably got going, too much caffeine! Enjoy your season I wish him the best of luck. I hope his hands hold up ✌️
I liked him in Boston, but not for a six-, or seven-year contract. Often injured player. Boston was limited for the small cap space they have. Not blaming the Bruins on this one. They went all in last year & gave up a lot, only to fall way short in the Playoffs. They took a shot.
That title is misleading. The Bruins wanted to keep him but he realized too late that he was only getting a 1 year deal. It wasn’t a rejection but rather more a 🤷♂️ we run out of cash.
Don’t worry Boston the guy misses 30 games a year , I’m surprised he is even playing in Canada he didn’t wanna get vaccinated so every game Detroit played he would miss . So Toronto Better hope Covid don’t come back lol
You have plenty of other reasons within the sport of hockey to talk about Tyler bertuzzi. You don't go around telling people to stick untested poisons in their bodies high-fat especially athletes who work their whole lives to get those bodies Jonathan toews is forced to retire because of this vaccine. You have no idea the number of top athletes around the world killing over to enlarged hearts, autoimmune disorders You're not going to see those facts on a RUclips video. Go after Tyler for his hand injuries, the fact he's not a two-way player... Even his age, but don't you tell people what the hell they have to put in their bodies for your entertainment.
He cost himself a lot of money. He will never sign a long term deal for what he wanted. He is too injury prone. He will end up being hurt in Toronto or he will underproduce.
I doubt it - I think he will have a great year playing with Marner and Mathews - and will get that big contract next year - I would not want to be the team that gets stuck with it though
Yea and they have to use the money for their guys like swayman. I’m not blaming don cause I heard the 1 year deal wasn’t on the table for Boston and the bruins will have around 25 mil in cap next year to spend
@@gavinrector6505 Boston does not have to pay him as much because of the difference in what he gets to take home so offer him 8 year 70 million or 7 for 61 million. There are lots of other skilled players with one year left on their contracts.
As a Wings fan....I really enjoyed Bert and was sad to see him go. Jealous of the other team even. BUT...... he didn't get his long term deal. So MAYBE YZERMAN knew something we don't. That being said - I'm pissed Toronto got Domi. Domi in Detroit would've been cool on so many levels :)
That's something the NHL is not making clear on bertuzzi, he has broken both of his hands recently. Broken hands don't actually heal-and those snappy passes disappear. My understanding that he broke both of his hands within about a year? At his age, that's not going to go well for contract negotiations. But he's also looking for a long-term contract under very difficult cap restraint season... Anything can happen in his career. Yet GM's scouts and coaches are going to balk at a player that's recently broken both of his hands, at his age. It feels so mean to be talking about an elite athlete, a human being like this... Please don't take it the wrong way.
@@TheFoolintherainn I also feel bad discussing it. BUT on flip side - business is business. A team invests 6 mill a year for 6 years.....that means they are out $36 million if health prevents the player from performing. IF the injuries are real, and potentially long term it is my sincere hope that Bert plays - accepts short term contracts if he has to, and puts away enough money and he'll be fine financially should something bad happen.
Vegas won with size, speed, youth and well hell, talent. Stone in the Playoffs cannot be stopped or contained. Marchesault. Even their puck boy was getting points. Not only that they were pulverizing Florida with size, speed and hits. We are not going the right way. I'm worried about Looch. Love him. I have his Jersey and all but I don't think we're going the right way. Had to keep Bertuzzi. Those other kids? We'll see. Bergie and Krejci? Give it another go, see how things are at Xmas with them. But, that shoulder and back has been an issue for many years with Bergie. Even to 2011 when we won it all. If it doesn't work out see who is available.
Bertuzzi recently broke both of his hands, he's not Young- you know those snappy passes disappear quickly with broken hand injury history. Hand injuries actually don't heal. Ever Yeah enough about luchak. If people could have some respect, especially after how he had to leave, his father's death and everything going on. But I have been so sick to death of watching Bruins got tossed around like rag dolls ever since Nick Ritchie was traded and never replaced. And I'm a bit confused about Bruins fans who thinks that Looch is going to end up on a top-line? That's not his role. By now you should know Don Sweeney brings an older veterans, tells the young prospects to knock them out of their positions. These are player coaches on ice No way in hell would Matthew Tkachuck even have tried putting Freddy into a chokehold on his back if Milan Lucic had been sitting on the bench It made me sick watching pasta get flattened and tossed around like a rag doll while trying to pass the puck to Jake debrusk during the hurricane series. We had our 5 ft 9 inch little rat trying to play enforcer, sitting in the sin-bin instead of scoring position I am not a Sweeney hater, massive respect for the hockey player and GM-however that was my major criticism of him the last two years, he's bringing up elite players, veterans that need protection. We have had no enforcer It's interesting how gentleman Patrice Bergeron is such a nice guy when he's had Zdeno Chara watching his back for his entire career And it's interesting that after Chara left, and even Nick Ritchie traded, that suddenly bergeron's taking all these cheap shots, 4 high sticks in the eye last season? We haven't seen that before Brad Marchand and his grit Captained this team to win the first three out of four games against Panthers. Gentleman's game came back with Patrice Bergeron, we proceeded to lose two out of three games and Tkachuk had a field day with our goalie and putting players in chokeholds, because he knew damn well we were not responding, we did not have an enforcer and he took full advantage. I don't blame him I think even the refs were surprised the Bruins did not respond. All we need is a lucic sitting on the bench, and our scorers can get to work- he changes the psychology of a game. Few modern Bruins fans understands the concept of Milan Lucic coming back to home ice -how that changes a player's game Especially in the city with top trainers, rehabs, sports medicine and nutritionists -the same ones that kept Patrice Bergeron and elite older athletes likeTom Brady going. The sports medicine in Boston is something modern fans take for granted and don't understand how often it's a big draw for elite veteran players. But you can't make Boston fans happy, they're too bipolar at this point-I'm part of the Bruins Nation 5,000 miles away They keep going after old players calling them washed up Haifa and they did that to Patrice Bergeron last season 2 weeks after he won the selke award Brady? first we heard people bitching about the fact that he was too young to quarterback a team, got his first super bowl ring at 24... Then we had to hear them bitching about he was too old and they finally chased him out of New England Where he went on to win another Superbowl all washed up and old! So it gets a little irritating with Boston fans that keep going after older players-with Boston's history regarding older players. But it's okay, internet folks like following clickbait Not the game of hockey itself
Mark stone is permanently damaged, he will never play a full season of hockey again. It cost him his health and career, to get that cup for Butch Cassidy
So Tyler is acquired by the Leaf's? On another note. JT Conpher was traded from Colorado Avalanche to Detroit Red Wings. Don't know who got the best between Toronto and Detroit? One thing for sure. It's going to be a different set of teams come Regular Season
@@allhockeyyt Detroit got Klim Kostin & Yamamoto from Edmonton. And I can't stop laughing. Future Considerations? So basically Edmonton getting nothing in return
Then apparently you haven't been watching David krejci for more than a year. Did you see how many goals he scored or setup during playoffs? If you're comparing the two players, there's absolutely no comparison and even bertuzzi will tell you that.
@@woady7073 I watched however, they were pretty good without Bertuzzi. They probably would have won first round at least with original players. Bottom line the team lost with Bertuzzi.
@@Goldmember66 Bertuzzi himself had a good playoff performance. However, it is a team game. When your team is a hundred points ahead of everyone in NHL, you dont tamper with that team and the chemistry.
😂😂😂 no he wasn’t! Not even close! He was an inconsistent player who has never played a full NHL season. He has had ONE good year statistically. He was injured more than he played, especially in the last 3 seasons..out of a possible 246 regular season games, he was injured for 119 of them..that is about a season and a half. He didn’t want to sign long term with Detroit (as has been reported by multiple sources..he did the same thing to Boston) so Yzerman shipped him out. To call him the heart of the team when he was barely there, is straight up ridiculous. Larkin is hands down the heart and soul of the Wings. He carries the team on his back and plays his heart out every single shift. There’s a reason he’s the captain and Bertuzzi is gone.
@@ValhallaRaven if you look carefully - he was without a doubt the most popular player with his teammates - they really responded to him that is undeniable. As far as him being the heart - one would hope not, he was not a good defensive player at all and his new coach was pretty aware of that. I always knew he would be a great playoff performer - he does a lot of little things well - particularly his stick is really active and chips and pokes loose pucks - they do not show up in statistical columns but you love him on your team. All that taken into account - he wanted big money and long term - with history of bad back - he is a below average skater which is going to really start to show up as he moves into his 30s - I wished they had traded him at the deadline the year before when he scored 30 goals he would have gotten the most return - but he was the anti -vaxer. it was probably a good idea going to toronto - he will probably play with Marner, Mathews - give them some protection and he will probably put up his best #s ever and then really get a big $ deal next year
Not even close. Are we forgetting the vaccine stance incident? Where he chose himself over his team and forced the team to play without him for the entirety of their games in Canada? If he was the heart of the Wings, he would have manned up and done what was best for the team. That's not to say the team didn't love him, but when you're selfishly sitting out games, no matter the reason, you can't be considered "the heart of the team".
Question his injury history AND defense? 2 of those injuries were from blocking shots. The guy was blocking MULTIPLE shots with an empty net down by 2. That's what was ment by "Heart of the team". Larkin is the only one that comes close
@@wrxspeed5042 Clearly there wasn't a market for what he was looking for on a long term deal, so the one year was best for him. He has the chance to get paid big next summer.
@@allhockeyyt if he stays healthy Boston would of gave him a one year but he said he wanted to test free agency he wanted a 6 year deal but decided oh I'll sign one year with the leafs I don't like that kind of stuff he should of just been honest
I think you're right. Leafs don't have Spencer carberry anymore, the assistant coach responsible for their franchise-record setting power play last season, and nylanders career-high 40 goals and 87 points He's going to be bench boss for Alex ovechkin, Max pacioretty, t.j. oshie and Backstrom-I'm thinking nylander might follow him. Ovechkin's contract is up in 26, Caps are going to make some serious playoff runs the next two seasons... They've been gearing up. And they wanted Spencer carberry back-and when he returned, apparently he stepped in to help the Hershey bears win another Calder Cup That used to be his team, so he knows the prospects. Why the leafs gave him up? I have no idea... I'm a bear 🐻 I think the leafs stand a good chance regressing. It will be very interesting to see what the leafs look like without Spencer carberry.
Let’s face the real facts they blew their load on pasta and now they have to put older bargain basement players around him. Nice job don you should of took your chances with pasta and kept this core intact. Lost a top 2 and 3 defenseman lost 2 top 2 forwards and a 3 your waiting for bergy and kreji once again to decide and if they don’t you’ve lost a 1 and a2 center.
Lol! Don Sweeney got David pastrnak at a discount. He's a top NHL goal scorer, doesn't make what McJesus and Matthew do, because he gave a loyalty contract. He put the team first. He could have gotten over $12.25 mil per year from many other franchises And after he gets through paying all the idiots in the USA, the NHL, taxes and every city where he plays a game-and then czechia takes out their chunk, about $3.5 million of his $11.25 mil ends up in his bank account. And he takes care of a big nuclear family. David pastrnak is a bargain. He absolutely did not bleed his lines dry-Brad Marchand refuses to take more salary than Patrice Bergeron. You're trashing loyalty players... Who are playing at a pretty good discount because they want to be on the Bruins. Why don't you check out zachas stats? We have two Norris trophy contenders and a vezina winner on our defense? Perhaps with an enforcer back on the ice, which we haven't had since Nick Ritchie left-are scores can stay out of the sin-bin, and are 5 ft 9 in rat won't have to run around playing enforcer. You think Patrice Bergeron would have taken for high sticks in the eye and one season with Chara or Lucic on ice? Tyler bertuzzi came from the Detroit Red wings to play on a line with a top NHL goal scorer on the team that was at a record-setting winning Pace? How could he go wrong? Have you looked at his statistics over his career? What sane general manager is going to sign a twenty-eight-year-old hockey player that has never played a full season, has broken two hands, and is not a two-way player? Look over his career stats, he's never going to get those stats again. And that's the Bruins specialty. They did that with Matt donato-brought him in straight from the Olympics hot and on fire-put him on the top line with Marchand and Bergeron, got his plus-minus ratings way up... Then traded him. Players coming up from lower teams count on the Bruins increasing their plus-minus ratings and value. That's why they sign for cheap because when they walk out of the franchise, they're going to have more value simply by taking the ice next to Patrice Bergeron and David pastrnak I wouldn't sign bertuzzi for more than a 2-3-year deal, and I wouldn't give him over 4 million until he proves he can hit those stats on a lower team, and play a full season! -broken hands don't heal. That's the first thing needed in hockey players skills-their hands. And then you have to be healthy enough to show up on ice to use those hands. He has no consistency in attendance He's got two strikes against him.
so sad he's gone. i'm especially going to miss his relationship with pasta. they were quite the duo 💔
It's crazy how good Boston has been the past 10 years with losing so many top level guys for basically nothing. The core there is unmatched
Its all borrowed time. trade picks and prospects for playoff pushes. dont worry, it'll catch up and Boston will be where the wings are fairly soon.
Yeah a big part of it is their contracts. Very cheap for how good they are.
It’s the gd organization and it pisses me off with jealousy. players taking cuts always grit man it sucks. I always admire Boston Athletics it’s pretty insane. Let’s go Buffalo!!!
Actually not much of a core left. Marchand and McAvoy and Pasta

They are decent depth in a weak free agency class, chances are they wouldn’t have. The Bruins couldn’t afford to take that risk.

5 million is fair if he can stay healthy, but 6-7 years is too long.
He has had one 30 goal season and two 20 goal seasons. Injury prone. A hot 7 games doesn't get 5 million from me. 4 goals in 21 regular season games with Boston. 8 in 50 games for the season I believe. He isn't worth 5 million.
thx boston from a toronto fan
You're welcome-see if he can extend his honeymoon period on Toronto Maple leafs. Team with the longest Stanley Cup drought.
You got him for a year, see if his hands hold up.
@@TheFoolintherainn I'm detectig a wee bit of bitterness... Trust me as a laffs Umm I mean a leafs fan I know bitterness when I hear it lol
@@Just_me_today oh I've been around too long watching Bobby Orr and what not to be "bitter." I'm going on six decades of this show... With only three Stanley cups!
I am well accustomed to enjoying the ride and a little bit of chirpin when 57 out of those sixty years we don't get a Stanley Cup!
This is a fun game... love going back and forth with hockey fans... Other sports don't get it. We're a family
Habs are supposed to be our longest rivalry, but it's become more fun with leafs lately. We can't take this stuff personally.
It's hockey!
And eventually all this chirping at the leaves is going to end up biting Us in the arse... You know how it works!
I have mad respect for Bert, didn't take that poison poke either.
I'm just laughing because he's managed to find his way to the team with the longest Stanley Cup drought! You can see the irony in that!
I think it was raining yesterday and I was bored drinking coffee all day, so I probably got going, too much caffeine!
Enjoy your season
I wish him the best of luck. I hope his hands hold up
✌️
@@TheFoolintherainn all good. At the end of the day it’s just hockey and we’re just fans.
@@Just_me_today 👍
I liked him in Boston, but not for a six-, or seven-year contract. Often injured player. Boston was limited for the small cap space they have. Not blaming the Bruins on this one. They went all in last year & gave up a lot, only to fall way short in the Playoffs. They took a shot.
Pasta gets big bucks and the rest get chump change....
That title is misleading. The Bruins wanted to keep him but he realized too late that he was only getting a 1 year deal. It wasn’t a rejection but rather more a 🤷♂️ we run out of cash.
🐀 🧀 just missed it last year
He was right about the vaccine, a good kid with a lot of hart and integrity.
Wow..people are still whining about vaccines 😂😂😂
Buddy soon as vaccines happened the real harmful Covid wave died. Man ur stupid
@@ValhallaRavenhe was right tho
@@ValhallaRavenwhat booster are you on? 30? 40?

Good move Boston 👍
Don’t worry Boston the guy misses 30 games a year , I’m surprised he is even playing in Canada he didn’t wanna get vaccinated so every game Detroit played he would miss . So Toronto Better hope Covid don’t come back lol
Ya I lose sleep every night thinking Covid will come back.🤣
You have plenty of other reasons within the sport of hockey to talk about Tyler bertuzzi. You don't go around telling people to stick untested poisons in their bodies high-fat especially athletes who work their whole lives to get those bodies
Jonathan toews is forced to retire because of this vaccine. You have no idea the number of top athletes around the world killing over to enlarged hearts, autoimmune disorders
You're not going to see those facts on a RUclips video.
Go after Tyler for his hand injuries, the fact he's not a two-way player... Even his age, but don't you tell people what the hell they have to put in their bodies for your entertainment.
He cost himself a lot of money. He will never sign a long term deal for what he wanted. He is too injury prone.
He will end up being hurt in Toronto or he will underproduce.
If he can stay healthy he is a productive player.
I doubt it - I think he will have a great year playing with Marner and Mathews - and will get that big contract next year - I would not want to be the team that gets stuck with it though
Kadri?
Bruins are in a tight cap situation and it was for the better of the team they didn’t sign Bertuzzi and the Leafs took that opportunity to sign him!
Lots of credit to Treliving for that signing. He did a good job.
Yea and they have to use the money for their guys like swayman. I’m not blaming don cause I heard the 1 year deal wasn’t on the table for Boston and the bruins will have around 25 mil in cap next year to spend
@@gavinrector6505 Maybe Matthews will be a bruin next year?
@@d2c341 we’re too cheap to go out and get a star lol
@@gavinrector6505 Boston does not have to pay him as much because of the difference in what he gets to take home so offer him 8 year 70 million or 7 for 61 million. There are lots of other skilled players with one year left on their contracts.
As a Wings fan....I really enjoyed Bert and was sad to see him go. Jealous of the other team even. BUT...... he didn't get his long term deal. So MAYBE YZERMAN knew something we don't. That being said - I'm pissed Toronto got Domi. Domi in Detroit would've been cool on so many levels :)
That's something the NHL is not making clear on bertuzzi, he has broken both of his hands recently. Broken hands don't actually heal-and those snappy passes disappear.
My understanding that he broke both of his hands within about a year?
At his age, that's not going to go well for contract negotiations. But he's also looking for a long-term contract under very difficult cap restraint season...
Anything can happen in his career.
Yet GM's scouts and coaches are going to balk at a player that's recently broken both of his hands, at his age.
It feels so mean to be talking about an elite athlete, a human being like this... Please don't take it the wrong way.
@@TheFoolintherainn I also feel bad discussing it. BUT on flip side - business is business. A team invests 6 mill a year for 6 years.....that means they are out $36 million if health prevents the player from performing. IF the injuries are real, and potentially long term it is my sincere hope that Bert plays - accepts short term contracts if he has to, and puts away enough money and he'll be fine financially should something bad happen.
Vegas won with size, speed, youth and well hell, talent. Stone in the Playoffs cannot be stopped or contained. Marchesault. Even their puck boy was getting points. Not only that they were pulverizing Florida with size, speed and hits. We are not going the right way. I'm worried about Looch. Love him. I have his Jersey and all but I don't think we're going the right way. Had to keep Bertuzzi. Those other kids? We'll see. Bergie and Krejci? Give it another go, see how things are at Xmas with them. But, that shoulder and back has been an issue for many years with Bergie. Even to 2011 when we won it all. If it doesn't work out see who is available.
Bertuzzi recently broke both of his hands, he's not Young- you know those snappy passes disappear quickly with broken hand injury history. Hand injuries actually don't heal. Ever
Yeah enough about luchak. If people could have some respect, especially after how he had to leave, his father's death and everything going on.
But I have been so sick to death of watching Bruins got tossed around like rag dolls ever since Nick Ritchie was traded and never replaced.
And I'm a bit confused about Bruins fans who thinks that Looch is going to end up on a top-line? That's not his role. By now you should know Don Sweeney brings an older veterans, tells the young prospects to knock them out of their positions. These are player coaches on ice
No way in hell would Matthew Tkachuck even have tried putting Freddy into a chokehold on his back if Milan Lucic had been sitting on the bench
It made me sick watching pasta get flattened and tossed around like a rag doll while trying to pass the puck to Jake debrusk during the hurricane series. We had our 5 ft 9 inch little rat trying to play enforcer, sitting in the sin-bin instead of scoring position
I am not a Sweeney hater, massive respect for the hockey player and GM-however that was my major criticism of him the last two years, he's bringing up elite players, veterans that need protection. We have had no enforcer
It's interesting how gentleman Patrice Bergeron is such a nice guy when he's had Zdeno Chara watching his back for his entire career
And it's interesting that after Chara left, and even Nick Ritchie traded, that suddenly bergeron's taking all these cheap shots, 4 high sticks in the eye last season? We haven't seen that before
Brad Marchand and his grit Captained this team to win the first three out of four games against Panthers.
Gentleman's game came back with Patrice Bergeron, we proceeded to lose two out of three games and Tkachuk had a field day with our goalie and putting players in chokeholds, because he knew damn well we were not responding, we did not have an enforcer and he took full advantage. I don't blame him
I think even the refs were surprised the Bruins did not respond.
All we need is a lucic sitting on the bench, and our scorers can get to work- he changes the psychology of a game.
Few modern Bruins fans understands the concept of Milan Lucic coming back to home ice -how that changes a player's game
Especially in the city with top trainers, rehabs, sports medicine and nutritionists
-the same ones that kept Patrice Bergeron and elite older athletes likeTom Brady going. The sports medicine in Boston is something modern fans take for granted and don't understand how often it's a big draw for elite veteran players.
But you can't make Boston fans happy, they're too bipolar at this point-I'm part of the Bruins Nation 5,000 miles away
They keep going after old players calling them washed up Haifa and they did that to Patrice Bergeron last season 2 weeks after he won the selke award
Brady? first we heard people bitching about the fact that he was too young to quarterback a team, got his first super bowl ring at 24... Then we had to hear them bitching about he was too old and they finally chased him out of New England
Where he went on to win another Superbowl all washed up and old!
So it gets a little irritating with Boston fans that keep going after older players-with Boston's history regarding older players.
But it's okay, internet folks like following clickbait
Not the game of hockey itself
Mark stone is permanently damaged, he will never play a full season of hockey again. It cost him his health and career, to get that cup for Butch Cassidy
Bertuzzi > Matthews
So Tyler is acquired by the Leaf's? On another note. JT Conpher was traded from Colorado Avalanche to Detroit Red Wings. Don't know who got the best between Toronto and Detroit? One thing for sure. It's going to be a different set of teams come Regular Season
Toronto did pretty well, Detroit not as much.
@@allhockeyyt Detroit got Klim Kostin & Yamamoto from Edmonton. And I can't stop laughing. Future Considerations? So basically Edmonton getting nothing in return
@@tinotse8964 It was future considerations because Yamamoto was overpaid and Kostin threatened to go the KHL.
@@allhockeyyt So what's Kostin plan? Head to the KHL?
@@tinotse8964 He already signed 2x2 with Detroit. He threatened to go the KHL if the Oilers didn't give him that contract, so they traded him.
Krejci has to be the most overrated player I’ve ever seen. Bertuzzi will be appreciated now
Then apparently you haven't been watching David krejci for more than a year. Did you see how many goals he scored or setup during playoffs?
If you're comparing the two players, there's absolutely no comparison and even bertuzzi will tell you that.
darn!!
Bruins were winning every game before bringing in Bertuzzi.
If only you actually watched the playoff series.
Dude they brought Bertuzzi in And he had an impact during the playoffs. Don’t blame the choke job on him.
@@woady7073 I watched however, they were pretty good without Bertuzzi. They probably would have won first round at least with original players. Bottom line the team lost with Bertuzzi.
@@Goldmember66 Bertuzzi himself had a good playoff performance. However, it is a team game. When your team is a hundred points ahead of everyone in NHL, you dont tamper with that team and the chemistry.
Can’t blame the first round exit on him. He was one of the best players in that series.
Unvaxxed legend!! 😊
100%. Did Toews get boosted one too many times because he is said to have long covid?
Bert was the heart of the Wings. Sad to see him gone.
😂😂😂 no he wasn’t! Not even close! He was an inconsistent player who has never played a full NHL season. He has had ONE good year statistically. He was injured more than he played, especially in the last 3 seasons..out of a possible 246 regular season games, he was injured for 119 of them..that is about a season and a half. He didn’t want to sign long term with Detroit (as has been reported by multiple sources..he did the same thing to Boston) so Yzerman shipped him out. To call him the heart of the team when he was barely there, is straight up ridiculous. Larkin is hands down the heart and soul of the Wings. He carries the team on his back and plays his heart out every single shift. There’s a reason he’s the captain and Bertuzzi is gone.
This is a joke. Bert was no where near the heart of Detroit. He was an injury prone turnover machine. Yes he has grit but that is all.
@@ValhallaRaven if you look carefully - he was without a doubt the most popular player with his teammates - they really responded to him that is undeniable. As far as him being the heart - one would hope not, he was not a good defensive player at all and his new coach was pretty aware of that. I always knew he would be a great playoff performer - he does a lot of little things well - particularly his stick is really active and chips and pokes loose pucks - they do not show up in statistical columns but you love him on your team. All that taken into account - he wanted big money and long term - with history of bad back - he is a below average skater which is going to really start to show up as he moves into his 30s - I wished they had traded him at the deadline the year before when he scored 30 goals he would have gotten the most return - but he was the anti -vaxer. it was probably a good idea going to toronto - he will probably play with Marner, Mathews - give them some protection and he will probably put up his best #s ever and then really get a big $ deal next year
Not even close. Are we forgetting the vaccine stance incident? Where he chose himself over his team and forced the team to play without him for the entirety of their games in Canada? If he was the heart of the Wings, he would have manned up and done what was best for the team. That's not to say the team didn't love him, but when you're selfishly sitting out games, no matter the reason, you can't be considered "the heart of the team".
Question his injury history AND defense? 2 of those injuries were from blocking shots. The guy was blocking MULTIPLE shots with an empty net down by 2. That's what was ment by "Heart of the team". Larkin is the only one that comes close
Bye see ya later wrong choice buddy
He’s got to do what’s best for him.
@@allhockeyyt yeah a one year deal 😂 he definitely did what was best for him....
@@wrxspeed5042 Clearly there wasn't a market for what he was looking for on a long term deal, so the one year was best for him. He has the chance to get paid big next summer.
@@allhockeyyt if he stays healthy Boston would of gave him a one year but he said he wanted to test free agency he wanted a 6 year deal but decided oh I'll sign one year with the leafs I don't like that kind of stuff he should of just been honest
@@wrxspeed5042 Like I explained in the video, when he went back to Boston they couldn't afford him.
Leafs will be worse this season
Could go either way.
I think you're right.
Leafs don't have Spencer carberry anymore, the assistant coach responsible for their franchise-record setting power play last season, and nylanders career-high 40 goals and 87 points
He's going to be bench boss for Alex ovechkin, Max pacioretty, t.j. oshie and Backstrom-I'm thinking nylander might follow him.
Ovechkin's contract is up in 26, Caps are going to make some serious playoff runs the next two seasons... They've been gearing up. And they wanted Spencer carberry back-and when he returned, apparently he stepped in to help the Hershey bears win another Calder Cup
That used to be his team, so he knows the prospects. Why the leafs gave him up? I have no idea... I'm a bear 🐻
I think the leafs stand a good chance regressing.
It will be very interesting to see what the leafs look like without Spencer carberry.
He should of got vaccinated, wouldn’t get injured so much 💪
You are joking right? 😂
Treycuck
@@leonidas7281 nope, he's fully vaxed
Toews got all his boosters right?
@@d2c341all the boosters needed to end an NHL career
Let’s face the real facts they blew their load on pasta and now they have to put older bargain basement players around him. Nice job don you should of took your chances with pasta and kept this core intact. Lost a top 2 and 3 defenseman lost 2 top 2 forwards and a 3 your waiting for bergy and kreji once again to decide and if they don’t you’ve lost a 1 and a2 center.
Lol! Don Sweeney got David pastrnak at a discount. He's a top NHL goal scorer, doesn't make what McJesus and Matthew do, because he gave a loyalty contract. He put the team first. He could have gotten over $12.25 mil per year from many other franchises
And after he gets through paying all the idiots in the USA, the NHL, taxes and every city where he plays a game-and then czechia takes out their chunk, about $3.5 million of his $11.25 mil ends up in his bank account. And he takes care of a big nuclear family.
David pastrnak is a bargain. He absolutely did not bleed his lines dry-Brad Marchand refuses to take more salary than Patrice Bergeron. You're trashing loyalty players...
Who are playing at a pretty good discount because they want to be on the Bruins.
Why don't you check out zachas stats? We have two Norris trophy contenders and a vezina winner on our defense?
Perhaps with an enforcer back on the ice, which we haven't had since Nick Ritchie left-are scores can stay out of the sin-bin, and are 5 ft 9 in rat won't have to run around playing enforcer.
You think Patrice Bergeron would have taken for high sticks in the eye and one season with Chara or Lucic on ice?
Tyler bertuzzi came from the Detroit Red wings to play on a line with a top NHL goal scorer on the team that was at a record-setting winning Pace? How could he go wrong?
Have you looked at his statistics over his career?
What sane general manager is going to sign a twenty-eight-year-old hockey player that has never played a full season, has broken two hands, and is not a two-way player?
Look over his career stats, he's never going to get those stats again.
And that's the Bruins specialty. They did that with Matt donato-brought him in straight from the Olympics hot and on fire-put him on the top line with Marchand and Bergeron, got his plus-minus ratings way up... Then traded him.
Players coming up from lower teams count on the Bruins increasing their plus-minus ratings and value. That's why they sign for cheap because when they walk out of the franchise, they're going to have more value simply by taking the ice next to Patrice Bergeron and David pastrnak
I wouldn't sign bertuzzi for more than a 2-3-year deal, and I wouldn't give him over 4 million until he proves he can hit those stats on a lower team, and play a full season!
-broken hands don't heal.
That's the first thing needed in hockey players skills-their hands.
And then you have to be healthy enough to show up on ice to use those hands. He has no consistency in attendance
He's got two strikes against him.
Going to be sweet to see the bruins SUCK . Don’t worry sweeny Detroit did not pick smart with you 1st round pick you gave up for bertuzzi.
At least they got a cup with this core.
That pick isn't till 2024
Who'd we get in 2024 with that pick, time traveler?
You should lay off the scotch, buddy! The pick isn't until 2024.
So the pic is in 2024, becomes a bigger mistake as pick will probably be a lottery pick.
