Bertuzzi is still public enemy number one in the Northwest Division, and he and the Flames are going to have to play Colorado a lot this upcoming season!It's going to be a messy war. I can also see him becoming hated in Vancouver too. Perhaps, even more than in Colorado. Signing with a rival team usually means that the player ends up getting booed a lot.</blockquote>
