Bertuzzi broke Moore's neck!!

[xxxdesign-net]

Neck fracture.... dont know how serious it is...

What a fucking maniac is that Bertuzzi... hope he's not suspended for the playoff so he can meet Worrell face to face...

[AlbertSweet]

I'm a big fan of the Canucks...But what Bertuzzi did was fucked up~ Today is the last day of the trade deadline, so Brian Burke better do some serious trades =(

[Mutt]

he should be gone for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

only the NHL lets that shit go by with a meaningless suspension.

[Axeman]

Well it was a sucker punch which happens all the time in the game. Wrong sure but not that fucked up.

It was just unfortunate that the punch knocked Moore out and then caused them both to fall to the ice.

Dont forget the Avs players also jumped onto the pile and that didnt help either.

Hopefully the fractured vertabre isnt to serious.

[BradM]

If they get rid of Bert we are fucked.

It was an honest mistake, come on now.

This type of violent punch... full swing.. from the back... directly on the temple of a guy standing still... and that coming from a massive 6'4" 250lbs guy... and you say it happen all the time and just unfortunate that Moore got knock out!? LOL and yes lets blame players that fell on him... LOL Whatever chief! Canucks 4 life right!?

[zentz]

yeah damn maniac *sigh*

[BradM]

Hmmmm I just read up on it. I didn't realize it was so intentional.
Bertuzzi may be a good player- but boot him out of the nhl for this. No one needs that shit.

[liquidmoe]

Should be charged for assault for that kind of shit.

[SENSEX]

he should be suspended for the rest of the season, and the playoffs. He is a fucking idiot and just cost his team a chance. And for what??? he should put a gun to his head and do the world a favour

You sir, are a little rocky mountain high.

This just in - the Vancouver police have decided to reconsider charging Bertuzzi with an assault offense.

They charged McSorley a few years back, and Bertuzzi should be charged...
And the NHL wonders why nobody watched the games and the ratings are so low in the U.S.
Ask yourself, what would the NBA or NFL do?

[hoe_vender]

you should get some go drugs for that one

[zentz]

if it is neck fracture... it is serious

look liked Bertuzzi rode on Moore's back the way down into the ice - kinda like a bulldog eef yuw wheel

punch id one thing, jumping him from behind is gutless
he should take a seat until next year

[fuzebox]

That'll teach him to hit Naslund.

I agree. There is no room for sucker punches...and he should be charged to show the public that assault isn't tolerated anywhere anytime, but fighting in a game is an acceptable by-product of the kind of game hockey is and many say there would be more stcik work and cheap shots if they couldn't drop the gloves and get it over with.

[TweetyBird]

probably indeed, but still they could fight a little less than "all the time" don't you think ?

[AlbertSweet]

Innocent until proven guilty....can we move along now?? How about them Leafs???

Im not kidding at all. If Moore aint knocked out nobody would say to much about it.

It was a sucker punch and wrong, no doubt there though.

[Ramster]

That was premeditated from the concussion Moore gave Naslund last month. He should be gone for the rest of the year. Fuck him and the playoffs!!! No room for that shit in any league.

Let him sit while his team loses in the playoffs and he loses several hundred thousand in salary!

[Steve]

I'd call it more than a sucker punch

I'd call it jumping on a guys back from behind and driving him headfirst+facefirst right into the ice

and I like Bertuzzi, always did - but that was just lame

The main thing was that Moore got knocked out and feel dead weight forwards, Bert who was holding onto him and had momentum going forwards fell with him on top. But if you look Bert didnt keep punching and just had his arms on the ice to proect his fall and then the people jumping on his back.

If he was really a beast trying to kill Moore he would have drove him into the ice and kept wailing on his head.

Dont make it right thats for sure.

I agree, didn't some guy get some jail time for assault after hitting another guy in the head with his stick a few years back?

Need a pic of Baghdad Bob here.

[leedsfan]

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.

Yes, and it happened in Vancouver too and McSorely was charged by the local cops.

Charged but got off on trial I believe. No jail time if he was found guilty but I think he was not. He's never played in the NHL again.

lol... its like saying.. if Bertuzzi would have hit him with less power... nobody would be talking about it... true! But he hit him with enough power to knock him out !

You think he wouldnt have knocked you out or anyone else for that matter? lol

[fuzebox]

Mrs. Bertuzzi is a regular shopper at the high end children's clothing store my ex works at... Apparantly she's very nice, always comes in with Mrs. Naslund

[AlbertSweet]

Trevor Linden will take his team to the playoffs....Mark my words.

Yep of course he would have, it was a pretty good haymaker.

This is who should be the captain of the team anyways.

[Steve]

I just heard Brett Hull on the Jim Rome radio show say that Bertuzzi should be suspended until next year.

[AlbertSweet]

You hear it here 1st~ Canucks have aquired Martin Ruchinsky from the NY Rangers!

[L0stMind]

Was a shitty game and a shitty move by bertuzzi. He should sit out quite a few games and be fined heavily. Hitting from behind is unnacceptable.

However, some of you obviously didnt watch the replays. Bertuzzi did not drive moores head into the ice with a body slam, he didnt jump on him and pummel him while down... his swing took him off his feet and he went down with moore - who was unconscious from the punch.

If you watch the replay, it was bertuzzi trying to get the pile off moore...

I cant see bertuzzi trying to injure someone, I thought he was just making his point - dont fuck with our captain.

Now, as for chargin him with assault... thats a really tough call. I dont think he should be charged with assault, its not like hockey doesnt have its fair share of fights. Mcsorley was charged because he used his stick in an attempt to injure another player - thats not a fistfight that every player expects and accepts when they put on their skates...

[sickkittens]

Did you see Worrell go ape shit?

most here seem to be blaming bertuzzi but how many people have seen the video of moore giving naslund the concussion? that should have been a fine and a suspension as well, but nothing happened.

bertuzzi challenged moore to a fight but moore chickened out. i guess he can dish it out, but not take it. he'll have the rest of the season and a lot of the off season to think about whether or not he'll aim for a player's head again.

the real problem i see is the canucks team composition. bertuzzi is the highest paid player on the canucks and was one of the top 5 or so scorers in the nhl last year. why is he having to be the enforcer on this team? what is brian burke's problem?

wade brookbank is supposedly the canuck's enforcer, but last week in denver he squared off with peter worrell and worrell had to outweigh him by 50+ pounds. if he hadn't lost his balance and pulled worrell down with him he would have gotten killed for sure.

you can like fighting in hockey, or you can hate it, but the truth is the instigator rule is allowing marginal players to take cheap shots at the stars knowing that no one will respond. nobody has ever bought a ticket so they can watch steve moore. people buy tickets to see the stars play, and when they aren't protected all kinds of stupid stuff happens.

[Shortbread]

Sucker punch, whatever, none of you must be Canucks fans at all. And I guess none of you saw how Moore went after Naslund a few weeks ago. Naslund, the highest scoreing player in the league and Moore was trying to hurt him.....this was revenge, he deserved it.

What a loser

Moore deserved more than what the league gave him!!!

Clearly Bertuzzi's intent was not this. His intent was to give him a good wack for what he did to Naslund and then probably fight Moore I'm guessing. But heat of the moment and the fact Moore had ZERO idea that Bertuzzi was about to become an idiot and sucker punch him led to Moore's head hittingthe ice with a 250lb guy on his back.

But NOONE deserves to be hit from behind like that!

[soldierdog]

Burtuzzi and I played on the same team for 14 years and he has always done dumb shit like this, but not this bad. People used to have signs out in New Liskard, Kirkland Lake and Kapiskasing when we rolled in that contained all kinds of hate messages towards him. He has always managed to get bad penalties at bad times that cost the team. This will hurt Vancouvers run for the cup. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised.

But in the end he is a super power forward and loved by the league so he might squeeze by this one and he has some relatives that were in management with the N, so who knows, he'll probably walk out the other side clean.

[Martin]

He got what was coming to him if you ask me. The NHL cause this with the fucking ridiculous instigator rule. If that rule wasn't there The Vancouver team could have punched Moore right then and there and that would have been the end of it.

[foreverjason]

You guys do realize I think it was last week, Moore took out Naslund.
