I think lebriznon is the only one either watching ESPN or bothering to read the online sports articles.
Moore has 2 fractured vertebrae in his neck. Spinal cord is not severed. Concussion and deep facial cuts. So he will live, he will walk, and he'll think twice about elbowing another Team Captain in the head.
He's a no name rookie that tried to piss with the big dogs and take out a major player. If a minor Vancouver player had done that to Joe Sakic and not gotten a penalty, you can bet your sweet ass that Colorado fans would be howling for blood.
Moore had something coming, no doubt about it. If he didn't have the balls to face Bertuzzi, he should have worn Panties instead of the Avs uniform.
Had Bertuzzi just left it at a cheap shot and not knocked Moore down and fallen on him, I don't think people would be shitting their pants so much over the incident. Hockey is not figure skating, it's a tough game. You play it long enough, you're going to get hurt. It's the nature of the game. Moore should have had the sense to know thatthe 2 things you NEVER do is take down a goalie or a team captain.
I say suspend Bertuzzi for 10 games and slap a heavy fine on him.
