whatever. Bertuzzi is a thug, always has been. He should be thrown out the NHL. This is the kind of action that shows players have lost respect for each other. If you let this kind of shit go by handing out inconsequential suspensions it reduces that respect factor even further, because the guys come back even more pissed off than before, plus they are then marked targets by all the leagues enforcers, and the cycle gets more destructive.
The only way to solve it is to throw out players and set examples, so that the players understand there is no room in the game for that, and then they'll start to show a little respect, because they won't have any choice.
Given that most professional sports athletes, these days, get paid such exorbitant salaries most of them consider themsleves above the realms of everyday accountability, which is a recipe for disaster. Just look at the NBA as a worst case scenario, and you'll see where the NHL will be in 5 years if radical changes are not made to change player attitudes.
