Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiAfter Maple Leafs Tyler Bertuzzi banked a shot off Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren early in the second period on Thursday, a thought occurred to coach Sheldon Keefe.

It’s crucial for the Leafs, this late-season offensive recovery by Bertuzzi. He had seven goals in his first 55 games after signing that one-year, $5.5-million US contract last summer, and was on his way to being a major disappointment. “It’s a credit to him to stick with it and continue to do the good things and not get discouraged,” Keefe said. “It’s important for our team. I’ve maintained all the way through this that Bert is going to be a very important player for us. He’s going to score big goals at key times and to me he’s building momentum toward that.”“I have no idea,” Bertuzzi said. “I’ve been doing kind of the same thing and just getting lucky.

“I’ve been fortunate to be in the net a lot lately. That helps with just getting back in the groove of it.”
