yes, posted right after you.....well at least I expressed myself.n_v said:MojoRisin' and Benhur do I hear an echo here?
Speaking as someone who has a broken neck if Moore ends up with severe paralysis Bertuzzi should be banned from hockey full stop plus face assault charges. He went way too far.
it wont be dropped...its too contrivesial....anyway if you hope for 2 games then you feel its fair i would assume unless you dont care about justice. This is getting somewhat mean spirited but i am honestly sitting here pissed off and very saddend for what happend and when you pray he gets off easy is a bit sad to me. Ill leave it at that i guess but if i hear other things that upset me i cant help but respond. No offense and i apologize for any ill feelings
mellow dramatic? ok well if you ever get hurt ill be sure not to care so much. i dont wish that on anyone but hey if we are talking about acting like adults...feel free to join in. Whether you knew about a broken neck or not the potential was there always. It was serious whether he broke it or not. Thats been the whole point. Its obvious you are trying to support your original feelings that in most minds are very sad. Too bad. Goodbye
Mellow dramatic? LOL. Is that like passive agressive? Or like Sir Laurence Olivier smoking a joint?
Oh, and Bertuzzi should end up in jail. I defy you to find a cheaper shot in the history of hockey.

well McSorely hitting Brashear over the head with a stick was pretty bad too but very close. Brutal either way. Im not being Mellow dramatic by saying that am i?

Moore suffered a fractured vertebrate with no paralysis.
Vancouver police are considering charges against Bertuzzi.

Not to lessen the severity of this incident, because it was a cheap, cheap move by Bertuzzi, and a horrifying result, but I can probably think of a handful of cheaper ones right off the top of my head ...Drunken Master said:
* Eddie Shore on Ace Bailey - Bailey never played again
* Marty McSorley with the stick swinging on Donald Brashear
* Claude Lemieux's hit from behind on Kris Draper
Even Domi's elbow on Scott Neidermeyer was cheaper. I think the difference, other than in the Ace Bailey situation, is the severity of the resulting injury. The sucker punch was ugly enough - it's the broken neck that will make this a huge deal.
Personal opinion, Bertuzzi should be out for as long as Moore is unable to play, to a maximum of a year. And hey, while we're at it, let's give Moore the salary that Bertuzzi will be giving up during the suspension too. In reality, I'd expect he'll be gone for the rest of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs.
And speaking of retribution, aside from Bertuzzi watching his back next time they play Colorado, he should watch his ass in his own dressing room. There's sticking up for a teammate, and then there's just being stupid. Power forward, tough guy, whatever ... when you're among the league-leading scorers, don't care how frustrated you are, there are more appropriate guys to be going for payback.
Kathleen,
I think it's clear you were not only off base YOU WERE WAY OFF BASE suggesting he only get 2 games. That was totally gutless. A player is sucker-punched from behind, knocked out cold, slammed face first to the ice and then elbow-dropped to the head and lies there in a pool of blood after a bounty had been placed on his head and you say what ?? - two games ????? He has broken facial bones, a concussion and broken vertebrae in his neck and you're going to give him 2 games ??? 2 games are handed out for kneeing, slashing, elbowing not a vicious predatory savage attack on an unsuspecting player.
And where do you get off saying Moore checking Naslund was predatory ?? He skated into him. If you saw the tape you'd see Moore had no idea who he'd checked. There was no stalking. I have to ask again what have you been smoking today ??

Injury is two cracked vertebrae, not a broken neck. Still very serious and could have been much worse. Personally, I thought the attack was pre-medetated and I believe is worthy of a suspension for the rest of the season. Sorry, Kathleen -- we'll agree to disagree on this one.
Jim Pansey et al: Kathleen is allowed to have a differing opinion. Leave it alone.
Speedo: A cracked vertebra is a broken neck, last I heard. What you said is like saying "He cracked his femur, it's not a broken leg!"
