Bertuzzi Changed My Mind

Just when I was settling into post-blogger life I stumbled across the news that the Big Asshole signed a free agent contract with the Flamers. Immediately I wanted to blog about it, but I had just retired yesterday. What to do?

Well, my friends, I've decided to pull a Barry Melrose and return to the world of hockey. Hockey is my passion and writing about it gives me an outlet to express my frustrations and joys of the sport. So sorry for the flip-flop, but I'm back to stay.

Regarding Bertuzzi, here's an interesting enhanced quote about him from Calgary GM Darryl Sutter:

“Todd is (was) a proven scorer with the ability to play both wings,” said Sutter. “He expressed to us that he wanted to play in Canada and that desire along with signing him to a one year deal was important to our philosophy (plus, we were running dangerously low on goons with Goddard signing elsewhere) . He wanted to play on a good team and it fit our money (nobody else wanted him). Additionally, our captain, Jarome Iginla, was a strong supporter of Todd (until he cowardly ran down Steve Moore and drove his skull into the ice from behind) and wanted him on our team.”
