![]() His punishment should be the same as if I did this to someone on the street. A criminal conviction, jail time, and restitution to the victim. I assume his victim will never play in the NHL again, he should have to pay out the rest of his salary for the years he will miss from his career, this will add up to ?how many million.
On a related note, why are we paying these apes several million dollars a year to play pro sports? They add nothing to our society and they are a disgrace to our culture. Perhaps we should pay doctors, teachers, and police more, and impose a 95% tax on pro athletes to cover the cost. |

![]() But going by that, wouldn't we first have to lock up Moore for knocking out Naslund?
If we put every hockey player who assaults (hits) another during a game in jail, then we would see 9 or 10 people in jail per game. |

and no i am not comparing it to murder, i am saying that a murder gets a more fair trial. did they wait for mcSorlys judgment?? no. this is all about the media now.. if this dies down fast he will be allowed to play next year.. if in a few months there is still a ruckus about it then they will suspend him longer. they have guidelines in place they should follow them and make a definite ruling. weather it is 10 games or a 2 year suspension it doesn't matter but he has the right to a final verdict. as for the intent to injure.. if you watch the replay he grabbed him and gave him a huge blow in the side of the head from behind, then he drove his face into the ice as he tried twice more to hit him in the head. i am not saying he intended to injure him this bad but he did intend to put him out of the game for the night as a warning to anyone else who would take a run at nassalan (SP*) as for criminal charges by a court of law.. i personally am against this. there are some things that are assumed when you sign a contract and getting injured in a fight is a reasonable expatiation in the NHL. this is why we have the league to suspend/fine inappropriate action. the problem is they have been letting the cheep stuff go to long and it has gotten out of hand.

![]() my 2 cents...
I think what bertuzi did was wrong and he got punished for it, I think the punishment was more than severe enough and if they go any further its getting ridiculous. If you think its Bertuzi's fault, as well as Crawford's fault, then it also has to be the fault of Moore for the cheap hit that he pulled earlier and "should" have been pummeled for(thats how the NHL works), also it is the ref's fault for letting the cheap shots go unpunished, and the leauges fault for not doing something about the way the game is played and letting things go unpunished. An NHL team could be compared to a big family and they protect their own, if your family member was taken out by a cheap shot you would probably want justice, or repercussions to be seen and felt by the one that took out your family member with a cheap shot,(especially if the "moderators" did nothing about it) thats what Bertuzi was trying to do and it went a little too far and a bad fall didnt help either, I blame it more on the NHL and the ref's of the previous Moore/Naslund incident, than I blame it on Bertuzi, he was protecting his family. I know if someone KO'ed one of my family members and the"law' did nothing about it, I would be steaming mad and want some repercussions to be felt by the culprit.... Thats what happened, but circumstances led to a more serious injury than the momentary pain that was intended to be inflicted. I dont think the injury was intentional but the pain factor was, Bertuzi is far from the only one to blame in this incident, people are looking at it like nothing else was involved other than a player momentarily ticked off, dishing out more than he should have. I dont like violence but when cheap shots go unpunished, you know mob justice will insue, its human nature to protect the ones we care about. |

Bertuzzi did this in front of millions of people and his sentence was swift ... if the kid is up and around then good for him You are upset that what ? ... Bertuzzi may get a longer sentence if the kid did not recover so quickly ? ... is this your whole point ? Let's get this straight ... when 2 guys scrap on the ice there is intent to injure ... when Bertuzzi mugged this kid from behind with a sucker punch there was intent to injure ... when he pushed the kids face into the ice with all his weight behind it and still tries to get in another couple more sucker punches it shows that he is a coward and deserves to be held responsible if the injuries were more severe.
