I thought this article was kind of funny. It starts out talking about how Bert didn't get booed during the Canada vs Italy game today.

The reason he didn't get booed is becasue they were playing in Italy in front of a mostly Italian crowd. You don't boo in Italy, you whistle. (I think it is the same for much of Europe.) Whistling = booing. Everytime he touched the puck you could hear the whistling start up. I guess the author didn't do his homework.

I wonder if he knows? If I was him and I didn't know the whistling was bad, I'd hope nobody bothered to tell me until the games were over.

If he does even know he still wouldn't hear it out there. I dont hear anything at all when I play. I know that this is a terrible comparison but he's not going to try and hear boos or whistles while he's playing.

I was watching the show Cheap Seats no ESPN classic over my lunch break and they were making fun of the 93 all-star skills competition. While Bertuzzi was doing the accuracy (hitting the corner targets) they made a reference to Bertuzzi only hitting the targets that were facing the other direction. This amused me.

Be consistent is very important in life. Even the way you hit your targets.

Very nice. :P

I can't imagine they're that dumb. My guess it was just a fluff piece to try and help rehabilitate his image.

Yes usually we whistle instead of booing, but...

Regarding Italian crowd, i doubt that even 5% knows something about hockey or what Bertuzzi did on Moore. (also because the few italian hockey fans cant get any tipe of coverage of NHL. It's very hard to see OUR league so what is NHL? :lol: ).

I didnt see the game (Damn university!) but probably the ones who whistled/booed/whatever were Canadians an not Italians... but there is always the possibility that the 5% hardcore fans told the other 95% who is Bertuzzi and why boo/whistle
