Todd Bertuzzi parle de sa carrière à Vancouver et du match d’aujourd’hui
La légende des Canucks Todd Bertuzzi s’est jointe à l’émission avant de retourner à Vancouver ce week-end pour réfléchir sur sa carrière et sur ce qu’il aime et n’aime pas dans le match d’aujourd’hui.
Todd Bertuzzi is the Boromir(LOTR) of hockey. Both had power, skill, size, admiration, and one lapse of judgement that tarnished their images forever. Both also had some sort of a redeeming arc.
Todd's favorite line is "It is what it is …" What shouldn't get lost is the great trade Keenan made to trade Bert and McCabb for Trevor Linden. McCabb lead to one of the Sedins. This was a huge trade that shaped the club. Unfortunately Allvin and Rutherford has failed so far in resigning Boeser and Miller.
Bertuzzi was that rare combination of size, grit, and hands. I don't think the Canucks ever had a player like him before, and never had one since he left. It really is too bad that his career is forever tainted by the Steve Moore incident.
When Todd got going, he really was like a man among boys… he could manhandle his way through and around anyone in the league. There were other tough guys, but this was a top-line player that could skate and pass and play top-tier hockey. Naslund was the sniper, but Bertuzzi was always around the net, screening, making life difficult for everyone else. That line really was special… that's actually when I first started to really get into hockey.
Always loved Bertuzzi. He's way more articulate now than I remember him being when he was a player. The Chelios hit at the end was awesome, but my favourite hit was when they played St. Louis in the playoffs and he gave Al MacInnis a separated shoulder when he hit him in the corner. I think it was a legal hit. Canucks lost that first game, but the hit was a turning point because we went on to win the series due to MacInnis' absence. I miss having a player like Todd.

So is Steve Moore legit or not? Brad May said it was ‘greasy’ what happened behind the scenes.

BIG BERT ❤
Those were the days ❤
I'd love to see Steve moore and Bert on a podcast
one of the biggest pricks in the history of the league and having him on here is an insult to journalism. (not even related to the moore incident)
Todd the 🐐
I remember that Bertuzzi hit! The whole bar went nuts. Man what a freight train! He absolutely bulldozed Chelios into the boards.

Todd was the man back in the day, in the early 2000s he was demigod like Hercules around Vancouver.
