Florida Panthers

[Pally]

Whoa whoa whoa.

If the whole league boo'd you every single game, due to a stupid mistake (that wasn't entirely his! If you want to discuss, you know where to find me)...would you not feel intimidated? would you not become so reserved? Obviously he stopped playing so hard because of all the hate he felt. He felt that people didn't want him around and he felt intimidated.

He just recently said "I feel better in Florida because no one cares about Hockey here, I feel no pressure"...come on people, for those of you who say he's lost his heart? Give me a break. That guy eats, breaths and sleeps hockey. He wouldn't be in the NHL if he didn't.

Alex Burrows is a newbie, don't compare him.

I honestly think that anyone that stands here and says "Good Riddance Bertuzzi" needs to wake up and understand the situation. How would you feel?

Its you PEOPLE (aka BANDWAGON TEAM) that have no heart.

I will not comment on this situation any further.

Please don't call me a bandwagoner. Ive been with this team for 15 years ... ever since I remember hockey. I remember the hype about the phenom in Bure ... I didnt miss a Canucks game for 10 years, and have yet to miss a single second of Canucks playoff hockey for as long as I can remember.
I am sure you are a huge fan as well (hence the old school jersey you had at games night), but we just have our differences about Bertuzzi.
We can agree to disagree.
I still like Bertuzzi, but his time was up here.


EDIT: Nah, Im not offended. Its all good.

Oh gosh, I didn't want to offend anyone! Maybe my comments come off too harsh. But I really didn't want to offend anyone, my apologies.

And I am a huge fan, this is the reason why I've banned myself from talking about hockey.

Wow

I see where all the bandwagoners jumped off at. After the Moore thing, you all walked away but before that, you all were cheering his name especially with the Bert-Naslund-Mo line. :oShabaash. Suchi, Shabaash. He helped give the Canucks a name, at a time where no one cared about hockey. Where were you all then?

Honestly, if you guys can't appreciate players, don't consider yourself a fan. The doors over there, see yourself out.

...none of you can come to my birthday party. Except Sharon

;D

I'm sure you didn't offend anyone, Pally. You spoke your mind, and that's what forums are for. Good for you for speaking up for something you love and are passionate about.

Don't sweat it, some people will just never understand.

Panthers are currently a perfect 4-0 at home...
;D

Oct 25th: Florida over Rangers 4-2.

Berty has been out last 4-5 (i'm not sure) games because of back spasms.

[sharon.k™]

Berty might need surgeory.. or he IS going through with surgeory... even though he'll be out for a while, don't you kids worry - He'll be coming home on Jan7, without a doubt. ;D

This is a stupid question, cuz I know how everyone loves Berty , but how do you expect the fans to react when he steps onto the ice? BOO him or WOOOO him?

Do keep in mind that he didn't leave this city/team by request, nor did he discredit anyone... he left via trade. A trade we are yet to see become a "good deal" (ehem*luongo*who?)

I can't wait to see my Berty come back home! If I get to go, (which is in the works), I'll wear my Bertuzzi shirt with pride and hold a sign that reads: WELCOME BACK HOME, BERTY! ;D ;D

sorry to break it to you...
he wont be here to play nucks at home.

kee hoya?!!

i heard he'll be out for a while.. but will be able to make it for jan7...

well, if that's the case, then that totally sucks for those poor souls that payed like $ 300+ to see Berty come back home

...I still want them to win, and i'll wear my shirt anyway

[sharon.k™]

For all those in this situation, I feel for you:

Jan 7
Tix $300 a pop

No Bertuzzi.

I'm glad I didn't pay that $300. But I'm sad that I don't get to see my Berty come home

Awesome trade by the Canucks, with Bert being a free agent, there is a chance that he might just leave Florida .... making this one of the biggest thefts in Hockey history.
