I hope people around here are finally starting to warm up to Bertuzzi. His work in tight around the net and in corners to create turnovers and his willingness to plant himself in front of the net for tips and rebounds is just what the Leafs have needed. He compliments Nylander and Tavares so well.

Glad to see he’s finding his footing! Great game from him.

I’m glad it’s against Detroit, even though it’s only technically in their home game.

This line is rocking, and he’s a big part of that. We’re seeing the player we expected.

Plays like an animal, looks like a cast member of ‘Shoresy’. Gotta love it.

I remember a bunch of people wanted him traded.
Because we’re the most thoughtful, educated and patient fanbase in the league.

Definitely deserves it. He seems to have found his spot on the team and the 2nd line is cooking. Hopefully he keeps it up as he is known to be streaky. He’s playing with more confidence for sure though.

He has been better on the second line for sure, really it just makes sense, he seems like the type of player JT has been making money for years.
That said I still hope he finds another gear. I still think he tries to force plays when he’s carrying the puck and it results in too many turnovers, but he has cleaned up the rest of his game so maybe that will come too.
I also just don’t like his face. He somehow just looks…Bruiny in a way I can’t quite explain. He doesn’t look natural in that leaf jersey, though this is just something I’ll have to get over if he continues to play well I suppose.
Remember this meme? I don’t know who made it but I hated it.
I got downvoted to hell when all I said was that we needed some time for them to gel, especially when we knew how stubborn Keefe was with our lines.
They’ve proven to work for other teams and have always shown up in the playoffs. Isn’t this why we got them? What is the point of getting other regular-seasoners who go invisible during the playoffs?
So was it their problem? Or was it really because we didn’t know how to use them correctly?
Blame the driver, don’t blame the new car.
*Edit: I’m still getting a lot of downvotes because people seem to want to see Domi and Bert fail.*

Funny. I was just thinking to myself this morning that Knies hasn’t been working well with Matthews and Marner and that he might benefit from taking Bertuzzi’s spot with Tavares and Nylander.

Did Keefe finally solve the line combo?!?

Then tonight happens.
Dude looks like a hockey player.
