Hockey-Canucks-Bertuzzi

[Kuea]

Has anyone heard about the bertuzzi incident?
All I know is that he broke a guys neck and got suspended for the playoffs.
What does everyone else who knows about it think?

We had it in the news. The player picked up someone from the opposing team, slammed his face into the ice, and then landed on top of him. A general pileup followed. There might be charged filed against him.

I think he only fractured it, and he didn't try to do it. He seemed pretty broken up. He shouldnt be blamed totally, that is the sport.

[Kuea]

yeah it is the sport so..... oh well shit happens

Subtle difference between "shit happening" and "beating someone to the extent that their neck is broken".

He didnt beat him though. He punched him once, just a lucky(or unlucky) shot. Punching happens about every game in hockey, he wasnt trying to do it.

Poor moore but then look at what he did o_o
I can't say I'm sorry for either of them.

Meh. I personally think hockey would be better without all the fighting.

I disagree; I saw the videos. The guy really hung on to his opponent's neck the entire time, forcing his head right into the ice.

I most definitely agree. Fighting is something that just shouldn't be included in sports.
