I watched the hit. I have seen the replay alot.
I am not one for law enforcement to involve itself with game-time conduct, but he BROKE A GUY'S NECK.
Bertuzzi should get a Lifetime suspension.

Are you saying that someone can pull a knife and stab someone, as long as it's during the game? What happened had nothing to do with the game, he skated up behind an unknowing victim, punched him in the face and drove his head into the ice breaking his neck. Intentionally. That is assault, PURE AND SIMPLE.

imho, a lifetime suspension, or basically banishment from the league would not be out of order in this case. The reality is that won't happen. Quite frankly, I thought the Domi/Niedermayer incident was just as bad. In fact, it was very similar. A verbal threat was made to the player and then goon Domi acted on it. Niedermayer had no idea what was coming and could've easily wound up paralyzed or worse from that blow. The league set a precedent by letting Domi off with what amoounted to a slap on the wrist (something like 8 games). The message was sent, loud and clear, worst that can happen if you try to severely injure or maim another player is you lose some salary while the other player is lucky to walk again...it's ridiculous. I am no way one of the pc types that wants to see fighting removed from the game, but this sort of thing, and what Domi and McSorley did go way beyond the pale. Best wishes to Moore for a full recovery.
