Red Wings still leading the way
Heading into the Western Conference semifinals of the Stanley Cup playoffs, there were some who said the Chicago Blackhawks are todays version of past Detroit Red Wings Cup champions.
Like the Wings of old, the Blackhawks are highly skilled, roll four lines, and have a mobile defensive corps and solid goaltending.
However, the one quality that the Blackhawks havent been able to...

Ducks’ Ryan Getzlaf and Red Wings’ Bertuzzi get into it on bench
During the third period with the Detroit Red Wings up 2-1, Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf took exception to a penalty that was called on Andrew Cogliano and accused Pavel Datsyuk of diving. Getzlaf was heated and was chirping at Datsyuk when they returned to their benches. Todd Bertuzzi wasn’t going to have any of it and stood up for Datsyuk and got into it with Getzlaf...
Justin Abdelkader, Carlo Colaiacovo in Detroit Red Wings’ Lineup for Game 6
Justin Abdelkader is back from his two-game suspension for the Detroit Red Wings’ must-win Game 6 on Friday night. He’ll be joined in the lineup by defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, who will make his playoff debut.

We've got a killer on the road. Todd Bertuzzi, loved around the league for his philanthropy, will join the Wing lineup tonite according to Teddy Kulfan.
Coach Mike Babcock said Bertuzzi would replace Jordin Tootoo on the fourth line, playing alongside Cory Emmerton and Patrick Eaves, as the Red Wings took on Anaheim in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Bertuzzi in for Wings tonight
Todd Bertuzzi will make his 2013 playoff debut tonight in Game 2.
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock told reporters in Anaheim that Bertuzzi will replace Jordin Tootoo in the lineup.
"Obviously, when he plays well, he's a big man with good hands," Babcock said. "We need him to take care of the puck and be on the forecheck and grind down low.
"Hasn't played...
Status quo for Wings on Thursday?
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock hasn't decided on any lineup changes for Thursday's Game 2 in Anaheim.
Both veterans Mikael Samuelsson and Todd Bertuzzi are healthy and ready to go, but that doesn't mean they'll play.
"I think its great to have veterans that are ready to go," Babcock said to reporters in Anaheim Wednesday. "Ive been around the game a...

Todd Bertuzzi Out Again as Detroit Red Wings Host Los Angeles Kings
The Detroit Red Wings hoped to have forward Todd Bertuzzi back in the lineup for Wednesday’s key game against the Los Angeles Kings. Bertuzzi talked about returning this week from a lingering back injury, and he went through the team’s morning skate.
But …
Babcock says Bertuzzi NOT in tonight. Says he thought he’d be back. Doesn’t sound happy about it.

Game Day Movie Poster - Tuzzi Returns
Today is one of THOSE days. You know the ones I mean. For the thousandth time, we're saying today is a "must win". Instead of being upset or working myself into a nervous mess, I decided to look back a bit. I'm tired of the normal banter. I miss someone who won't be playing today. Hit the jump for a few thoughts...
First off, shooutouts are a...
T-Minus Five Days to Bertuzzi's Return
Who's the forward with the highest points per minute on the Wings?
#44 - Todd Bertuzzi, that's who.
We don't realize it, but we've missed the serial killer more than you think. His 2.12 points per 60 minutes of 5 on 5 hockey is best on the team and would have been great in all those 3-2 losses, not to mention his smooth Dexter like hands in the shootout...
Red Wings Tuesday practice post: Bertuzzi making progress, defense in flux
The Detroit Red Wings took to the ice for a short practice at Joe Louis Arena prior to packing their gear into bags and heading to Metro Airport to fly out to Calgary, where they'll begin a two-game road trip against the Flames and Canucks on Wednesday (and Saturday, respectively), all before returning home to Detroit to play a slate of

Red Wings overnight report: Wings still believe they’ll make the playoffs, but lineup tweaks persist
Aside from prospect-related news, Tuesday was not a super fun "off-day" for Red Wings fans. The team announced that Darren Helm would continue skating but the team's no longer expecting him to return from what we've learned is a "slight tear" in one of his discs, and it is entirely possible that we'll hear similar news about Todd Bertuzzi soon.

Todd Bertuzzi to Announce Retirement
Unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected news out of Detroit today. Todd Bertuzzi is going to hang up the blades despite earlier reports that he was getting closer to returning. In a way this isn’t terrible because guys like Nyquist and Tatar will be further up on the depth chart, but as a fan of Bert, this sucks.
More after the jump:
Since Bert’s contract is 35+, his...
St. James: Red Wings forward Todd Bertuzzi has a long road ‘back’ from injury
The Red Wings won't have Todd Bertuzzi's services for any of their four West Coast games over the next week, including tonight's game against Anaheim (10 PM EDT, FSD/NHL Network U.S. and Canada/1270 AM), but Bertuzzi is on the road trip, attempting to slowly but surely round back into game shape after receiving four injections on his ailing back. Bertuzzi told the Free...

Jeckyll and Hyde season continues for Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings have made a habit out of playing to their competition this season.
Detroit has somehow found a way to lose at home to bottom-feeding Columbus, then turn around and dominate games against Nashville and Vancouver.
The Red Wings have been hot-and-cold all season, and that trend continued in their most recent game against the Blackhawks. The Red Wings looked outmanned...
Bertuzzi hospitalized with back pain
Todd Bertuzzi may be done for the season, or more seeing as how he is 38.
The Detroit Free Press reported earlier tonight that Bertuzzi had been admitted to the hospital with extreme back pain.
Bertuzzi has missed Detroit’s last three games with his chronically-injured back and, following a 5-3 win over St. Louis last Thursday, “could barely walk” according to the Detroit...
Todd Bertuzzi, Darren Helm Still Sidelined; Mikael Samuelsson Skating for Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings are hoping to get both Todd Bertuzzi and Darren Helm back in the lineup soon. If Tuesday’s morning practice is any indication, though, neither will play Wednesday night against the Blues.
#RedWings are on the ice practicing sans forward Todd Bertuzzi and center Darren Helm. Both continue to be bothered by back pain.

Belated: Todd Bertuzzi is like the rest of us with bad backs: ‘day to day’
Sorry this is so very late, but I kinda crashed after a pair of nights with little sleep and some fun fun fun moving of cars around the condo parking lot early in the morning. There's something of a modicum of good news on the back injury front! MLive's Ansar Khan reports that Red Wings forward Todd Bertuzzi is just dealing with the kinds of issues that those of us with bad...
Todd Bertuzzi dodges a bullet
I don't know if we're gonna find a video of the play, but Todd Bertuzzi took a stick to the eye on a follow-through by Stars forward Jamie Benn. The refs called what is not but should be a double minor for high sticking as follow-throughs are exempt from penalties--though Kris Draper was nearly blinded by Paul Kariya on a similar play.
As Wings fans' collective breath...
THANKS FOR THAT
Bertuzzi kisses Datsyuk after scoring goal
This pass from Pavel Datsyuk on Friday Night against the Minnesota Wild was simply incredible. A saucer pass over two sticks right on to Todd Bertuzzi’s stick? Absolutely fantastic. Bertuzzi was obviously very happy that Datsyuk made such a great pass. It was Bertuzzi’s first game of the season, and after scoring his second goal of the game, he planted a kiss right on...
Todd Bertuzzi Lights the Lamp Twice as Detroit Red Wings Down Minnesota Wild: Video
The banged-up Detroit Red Wings received the help of some reinforcements on Friday night, as Todd Bertuzzi, Darren Helm and Jakub Kindl all made their 2013 regular-season debuts. And Bertuzzi wasted no time making an impact, popping home two goals in Detroit’s 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild.
Bertuzzi’s first goal of the night came just 55 seconds into the second period — and...
Zetterberg, Bertuzzi lead Red Wings
Henrik Zetterberg snapped a tie midway through the second period, and Todd Bertuzzi scored his second goal of the game early in the third to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.
Pavel Datsyuk, who assisted on Zetterberg's goal, put Detroit ahead by two late in the second period. Datsyuk also set up Bertuzzi on his second goal that...
