Bertuzzi decision

[targaboy78]

Just my .02 worth. Bert was obviously the initial contributing factor. I do not dispute that.

However, I believe (just my opinion) Moore's injuries MAY (or may not) have been complicated by the "dog-pile" that ensued after the initial contact.

- Yes, the sucker punch was less than sportsmanlike.

- The falling ontop of Moore may (or may not) have been deliberate - he did have him by the jersey and may have been pulled over as Moore fell?

- The AV player that piled on top to punch Bert actually looks like he punched Moore. (Some camera angles)

- The remainder of the players piling on did not make the situation an easier on Moore's neck.

I think this could have been avoided if the original check on Naslund was reviewed or at least given an Interference penalty. NHL Refs suck.
I think if Ruutu layed the same hit on Forsberg or Sakic on open ice like Moore on Nassy - there would have been a call.

My comments on if Bert got what he deserved...
The remainder of this season - Definately.
The first 1 or 2 rounds of the playoffs - Sure.
The entire playoffs - No.
A review at the beginning of next year to determine if the suspension is to continue. - I won't even dignify that with a response.

I hope Moore recovers and can play again. Regardless of what Bert deserves.... Nobody deserves what Moore got.
