Well, I'm back from a month in mexico. I was in my hotel room watching some CNN when a little caption on the bertuzzi thing buzzed across the screen. I didn't really know what happened and i didn't have access to competent internet services.

So ya, i've been in the dark all this time. From what I heard Moore wouldn't fight so Bert skated after him and punched him in the head and stuff. I also heard that bert fell on him after..so which one broke the guys neck.

I agree Bert should be out for the year. I **** hockey and it stuff and the canucks are my fav......but I still think he should be gone for a bit.

I hate how this is going to affect bert throughout the league though. There's just as cheap shots thrown atleast once a week but he was unlucky enough to break the dude's neck. I mean, the league doesn't want this thing happening so they set the instigator rule but then don't enforce it? It's a bitch.

I'll have to download a video clip of it before i can really comment on the actuall incident and stuff...but it seems kind of ironic. A hit that could easily have been just as or much worse was ignored by the league COMPLETELY and then they jump all over this. Bert isn't some crazy dirty player. He has a temper and he's a big guy, but the get's more rap then he deserves. If he was in any other city like Detroit or Toronto people wouldn't be so harsh on him. It's a pitty to see him being booed in many of hte other arenas just because he's such a dominate force on the ice(although this year has been the ****).

Well, I can't say bert will be missed much in the playoffs. Sure, he could easily be the deciding factor in the games but he hasn't pulled his weight at all this year. He doesn't have the same fire and intensity that he had before this season. It'll be a chance for other guys on the nucks to step up and fill his role.

I feel sorry for Moore as well. Damn, you make a mistake by hitting the league's best player and bam, your neck's broke.

aight...this is kind of depressing.


and **** Gary Bettman.
