Bob Duff: Opportunity Knocking For Bertuzzi
With Luke Glendening expected to miss significant time due to a hand injury, this could be Tyler Bertuzzi's chance to prove to the Detroit Red Wings that he belongs in the NHL.

Blashill and Holland have their built in excuse #457,651. "We don't have Glenny. It's a man's league. He plays the right way. I can't just go to a hockey store and buy a Glenny."
Glendening is the poster child of a bad Holland signing... 1.8 million per year for a 4th line center that provides ZERO offense (except for an occasional empty-net goal.. I think he's got like 3 of them this year). Can't remember if he has the typical NTC like many of his overpaid fellow players.
Even if Bertuzzi racks up a bunch of points... he'll be sitting on the bench when Glendening comes back from injury. Bank on it.
