It was nice of Bertuzzi to take one of his patented stupid penalties leading to Ovechkin's PP goal. I thought that was a nice touch.

I think that this team would have been better on the small ice surfaces in North America, but they got exposed as too big and too slow on the wide international ice.

As far as the CBC is concerned

and yeah..bert was the only one to take a stupid penalty right?? i think it's hilarious that ron mclean is blaming bert, the lockout, and the big ice...well last time i checked, it wasn't just north americans who were locked out...

Errr, I didn't blame Bertuzzi for the loss - the whole offense deserves to be blamed - Nash looked lost, Iginla wasn't himself, etc etc etc. I was merely saying that I thought it was a nice touch that the biggest criticism of Bertuzzi's game is what led to the GWG.

Anyway, I can't wait for the experts to spend the next four seasons telling us what's wrong with CDN hockey. It's gonna be a blast! :roll:

i know you weren't blaming bert..but ron mclean has mentioned that penalty at least 4 times since the game has ended, and harped on bert much more than any other player
