I mean he can't keep up 4 ppg pace all year so hopefully he slots in around 200-225 points.I regret underestimating Bertuzzi so much.... I only predicted somewhere between 82-90 points this year. Clearly, he is going to blow that away by a long shot
I underestimated him, I think everyone did. He doesn't have any elite skills, yet he does all the little things right. He's like a slightly smaller but grittier version of TJ Oshie. If there's an elite skill there, it's all effort and hockey IQ. I liked that little wrap around on the empty net.I regret underestimating Bertuzzi so much....

I agree that Bertuzzi seems to have an uncommonly high hockey IQ. He seems to be at the right places at the right time doing the right things that bring about right outcomes.
That's nice to say.
But at the end of the day, no NHL coach is going to start cholo and Hronek and then choose Bowey over Daley.
And as bad as Daley was last year, Bowey's GA/60 was 3.28. Daley's was 2.8.
Unless Daley plays himself out of the lineup, don't expect to see much Bowey UNLESS Cholo or Hronek get optioned to GR.
The foundation looks solid. Great game. Hope they have better luck with injuries this season.
You weren't wearing a Fedorov jersey by chance were you?Just got home from my Nashville trip, here are my takeaways from the experience -
The city in general is fantastic. Loved the Broadway scene, the arena, and many of the places that we went to around Nashville. I kept hearing that commuting, traffic, and parking were rough but it was really easy to be honest (but I'm also accustomed to Atlanta metro which is way worse in those regards).
The Preds fans & staff were accommodating and friendly despite the result. Even had fans get us free drinks at a predominately Preds fan bar (still tough to comprehend how we achieved that one) We definitely got some verbal jabs throughout the night but nothing too crazy. It's weird celebrating after a goal in a quiet away arena. There were quite a few Wings fans, but I was honestly expecting more of us.
Overall, great game and great experience. Felt lucky to win that one but I'll definitely take it. I would absolutely visit again for a game.
