The discussion about fighting in hockey is valid and worthwhile, but the connection to the Bertuzzi incident is pretty tenuous. Yes, he used his fist. That doesn't make it a fight, any more than a vicious highstick is a slap shot.
For whatever it's worth, I'm one of those strange people who does believe in a "code" in hockey. I realize some people find that idea unthinkable, but there it is. And according to the code, Moore did the right thing. He dropped his gloves earlier in the game. That should have been it. He's not obligated to fight every guy on the other team in a 9-2 game. Bertuzzi broke the code, not Moore.

So, you have "PROVEN" that fights happen "ALOT" because you have been to 3 games and a fight, some wrestling around, and some pushing occurred. (By the way, you are being made fun of because the proper terminology is a lot - two separate words.) You have also "PROVEN" that Subby doesn't know much because he didn't write a game review. Face it, you made a statement and someone who is more knowledgeable than you on the subject called you on it. Admit you were wrong and move on. Also, based on your statement, writing game reviews instantly qualifies someone as knowing a lot. (See, I said "a lot" instead of "alot" to give you a good example) {Edit: Hmmm. I was soooo silly. All that time in school wasted. All I had to do was write a game review. Stupid me. Well, off to play Asteroids so I can be smart.}

It appears a grammar flogging has been "deamed" necessary.

I did ALOT or A LOT or Alota research on the subject to see if I was talking out of my ass. http://198.93.127.18/default.asp Anyway, there are quite a few fights at the major league level. You only receive an ejection from the current game if you receive one at all. Based on the comments by the fans there are usually a couple of fights a week. Go read and thanks and have a nice day. You figure a coach would know more about this stuff then me. BTW its a no brainer that it would be illegal in NCAA rules, just like NCAA hockey. |

Well it would writing game reviews does mean I'm reviewing the products and the other people are not. The fact I played every version he produced, I suppose would give me some credibility. The fact I'm a beta tester for various different games might give me some credibility. The fact that I work in a software development group for my real job might help also. Its pretty easy to critizise when you aren't doing the reviews yourself. Not sure why you would have a problem with my review of FOF football, I gave it one of its highest ratings and I told everyone to go buy it. But whatever. |

A lot of people seem to bring up the fact that the instigator rule prevents people from getting even.
If the referees called the game properly and punished the people who did the cheap shots, dirty hits, etc. then there wouldn't be a need to get even. Maybe that's what we should be looking at? The reason the game has degraded to clutching, grabbing, dirty hits, etc. is because they're allowed to do it. It gives the low skill players that advantage over the skilled players, so if that's their way to make it in the NHL, of course they're going to do it. |

Question regarding the injury:
Does anyone know, or have reliable information about, exactly when Steve Moore's neck was broken? Was it a result of Bertuzzi hitting him in the head, or was it a result of hitting the ice?

He hit the ice because Bertuzzi hit him in the head. So the root cause is the cheap shot hit, no matter how you look at it. That being said, I'm pretty sure there would be no way to tell when exactly it happened. |

More than likely happened when he hit the ice, but in large part is probably due to the fact that Bertuzzi was riding him down and (while debateable) appears to be trying to drive Moore's head into the ice on the way.

Growing up with the sport, I completely understand the "code", right or wrong.
I remember in grade 6 we were playing ball hockey during recess on school grounds. A friend of mine made the mistake of slashing the class "jock" (if you can be considered a jock at 12 years old) who then proceeded to pummel him. After consoling my friend we decided to approach the teacher who was "supervising"; the teacher also happened to be a former NHL goalie. His response was not surprising: "That's hockey." Having grown up with the Battle of Alberta during the glory years, I've watched the code in full effect, and some of those playoffs series were sensational. Violent, yes, but sensational nonetheless. On the other hand the Canada Cups, World Cups and Olympics (with professionals) are also among the best games I've ever seen and had the added benefit of highlighting the game to NON-hockey fans. This is probably what the NHL should strive to emulate on a league-wide basis. The answers aren't easy but with the impending CBA negotiations, now is the time to address them.

Actually he did have it coming, I guess last month he got in a cheap shot in a game. Of course that doesn't make what Bertuzzi did alright. He should be arrested for that shit

I think the old schoolers are gonna have to come to Jesus on this one. The Thuggery has got to go. NCAA and Olympic Hockey is a better product than the NHL, and the intolerance of fighting is the reason why. Yes the enforcers will lose their jobs, but guys who can play hockey will replace them.
My unfortunate fact of the day is: Although the NHL should take a stand to stop the fighting, and MLB should stand up to the union regarding drug testing, neither of them will. Both leagues will suffer as a result. |

Both of those statements are completely subjective to your opinion. Lots of people don't think NCAA and Olympic Hockey are better products than the NHL, and of the people who do think it is a better product many would say it's because of the larger rink sizes and more attacking rules and mindset rather than the lack of fighting. |

Btw, Bertuzzi got suspended for the rest of the season (including playoffs) and Vancouver was assessed a $250,000 fine.

While Moore may have had something coming to answer for the hit on Naslund, I think most of us would agree that it wasn't a sucker punch from Bertuzzi, and certainly not an outright blindside assault. Also getting overlooked in the whole "eye for an eye" discussion is that Moore did get in a fight earlier in the game. Maybe the problem was that by all accounts, he won the fight. |

The thuggery has left since the 80's. The NHL should spend more time deal with malicious hits and head-hunting rather than get rid of fighting all together. Fighting is part of the game...period.

Bertuzzi tried to get Moore to fight him. So actually Moore was the gutless one. Granted Bertuzzi shouldn't of suckered punched him from behind, but Bertuzzi was more then willing to fight Moore straight up. |

The 'code' factor has already been completed, Moore already faced off with someone else. There was nothing wrong with Moore's hit on Naslund, Nazy even admitted the hit was clean and perfectly acceptable... so we shouldn't even be talking about this. But obviously the Canucks felt someone took liberties with their star... and the 'code' came into play. Bert crossed the line, he should be punished AND forgiven, but he's the one who did something wrong NOT Moore. |
