Default Bertuzzi's Actions

If someone on the street had assualted another person in the way Bertuzzi did, he'd be facing criminal charges.

Let's not excuse his actions because he was in a game.

The question is: will he be able to control himself in the future if he is allowed to play again, or will he injure another person ?

IMO, it is more important to protect players from serious injury, and set a healthy example for the kids watching their role models, than to minimize what happened.

If the whole team, the city , the province suffers, that's too bad, but don't exempt him from facing the consequences of his actions.
