    There's a big difference between big hits, fighting and "violence" in hockey and straight up punching someone in the back the head.

    Todd Bertuzzi should been in jail after this nonsense and should have been banned from the NHL for life. If they make an example of a few of these clowns then maybe players would show a little more respect for each other and we would not have senseless violence like this. His apology was a joke .... what did he think would happen when he took the cowards way with a sucker punch from behind and drove the head into the ice. It was criminal. As usual the league botched it and let him back in the game. At least half his salary for the rest of his playing career should have gone to Moore.

      I should've thought about it when I would've spoken about it with my friends at school with my Archie Bunker voice. "I'm telling you that Bertuzzi's grandfather was one of the Nazis who killed Anne Frank and her family! That game was like the day JOHN LENNON WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED!! Moore was like Lennon and Bertuzzi was like the guy who killed him! Think Paul Simon or LIghtfoot should write a song about this?! No goddamn way!"

    At least Bertuzzi seems to be empathetic towards what happened then. Don't like how this guy assumes it's violence because it's called hockey and part of what makes it great is it's physicality but at least this isn't the early two thousands with many fights and more ruggedness.

    I was a Leafs fan at the time and I would've seen this in the news as a tween 11 going on 12. I would've been my school's "Tell it like it is" type of kid who had thoughts about the Bertuzzi Moore incident. I would've called Bertuzzi a "Nazi from Northern Ontario whose grandparents endorsed Hitler and wanted his Grandson to act like a Nazi!"

      @@nunya_business1702 Education time. The original incident happened February 16, 2004. Moore hit and injured Naslund with no penalty called and league reviewed the play and issued no suspension. they played March 3, 2004 with the NHL Commissioner in attendance without incident. The two teams played again on March 8, 2004 with Moore being challenged by Cooke and fighting him in a draw. That should have closed the book. instead, once Colorado was leading 8-2, Bertuzzi opted to pull his stunt, leaving Moore seriously injured and never able to play the game again. Bertuzzi was suspended indefinitely but the League gave in to pressure for those supporting Bertuzzi and allowed him to play again. With the lockout, Bertuzzi missed a total of 20 games while ending the career, and nearly the life, of an opponent in what has to be labelled one of the worst goon moves in NHL History.

    I don't think this incident was what changed how nhl punished its dirty players and hits, I think it more so started when shannahan took over the department of player safety. There was still a lot of dirty hits and plays after this, they just weren't as bold or resulted in a serious injury...only one that came close was Chris Simon's baseball swing, imo way worse than this but hollweg walked away relatively fine. His suspension wasn't as severe as well.

  • @Rorschachqp

    You play pro hockey, you have to adhere to the code and answer it if you initiate. If you don't, look what happens. Moore by not answering after acting the way he did actually endangered not only himself but possibly some of the more talented teammates as well. Once in the 90s when hockey was expanding rapidly, Chris Chelios was asked why is there fighting in hockey and responded (paraphrased) that hockey is a rough sport and a battle of wills to occupy space on the ice. If you can't have ritualized 1 v 1 fighting to blow off steam, sticks, dirty hits and skate blades come next. Fair fighting prevents that.
