Bertuzzi's Blame: Payback Punch Was Avoidable
July 26th, 2019 Throughout the history of the NHL there have been countless illustrations of something we know as vigilante justice.

Trade Analysis: Todd Bertuzzi

The 6-foot-3 winger from Ontario was drafted in the 1st round by the New York Islanders in 1993, but never really lived up to expectations while on the Island. He played parts of three seasons on Long Island and had a high of 39 points in 76 games as a 20-year-old. He was only...
