[NHL] Report: Bertuzzi suspension could continue


Recommended Posts

Todd Bertuzzi's suspension could continue 10-20 more games after the season begins. Bettman could add the additional games soon. Bertuzzi was suspended in March of 2004 after sucker punching Steve Moore.

still not saying what he did was right, but i know with my experiance in playing hockey things on the ice are different then what you see from the stands or on tv, when someone on the other team hurts one of your players, especially a team leader like naslund was, at least in my case, you kinda wanna do something about it

still he should've just fought him or skated away and not sucker punched him, but i know i've gone crazy on people before who've hurt my players:)

edit: im not trying to flame or anything either, and i dont normally fight in hockey anymore im just making a statement

Edited by berdusco

i used to play hockey and know what its like too. But admit it, Naslun was skating through center with his head down. Thats asking for a hit, doesn't matter who u are, and personally i dont think it was that much from behind as it was from the side. In the game Moore got knocked out, i beleive he took a beating along the boards and actually got into a scrap with Brad May if i recall correctly

I had heard this on SC one morning. Yes bayrider he had already fought May earlier in the game. I understand that they are trying to make a statement but I think that he should either be allowed to play game one of the season or be bared for life. None of this wishy washy crap. Take a stand and stick to it. He has not played in over a year and a half. Now if you aren't prepared to let him come back now, don't let him ever come back.

I am a huge Betuzzi fan but the league needs to take a stand on this issue now so that Vancouver can decide what to do in regards to the cap.

The deal was a one year suspension and then we'll talk again. It party was dependant on Moore's condition after a year.

That was a similar to what they did with McSorely except that he decided to retire at the end of his season suspension. He was already in his mid-to-late 30s if I recall.

Bertuzzi hasn't even sat out what more than 20 games? and please don't come telling me because of the lockout that even counts because everyone sat out and the lockout had 0 affect on how his team could have played since they didn't even play.

He should continue being suspended as long as it takes. Moore probably will never play again.

Give him the 20 games. Make him sit out WHEN PEOPLE ARE PLAYING so that he understands how stupid his actions were.

You don't think he was thinking about that the whole time he was missing the playoffs. He's had a year and a half to think about what he did. If it's merely for teaching him a lesson then I'm sure he's had more then enough time to think about it. All I ask for is that the league take a stand. Either let him play or ban him. 20 extra games will do nothing for him or Steve Moore. The only thing this could affect is how the Canucks spend their cap money. If he is going to be out for 1/4 of the season is it really worth keeping him or should they buy him out.

@ fred: The circumstances between this and McSorely are completely different. There was no work stoppage for the Brashear deal. There was no such thing as a cap and even if there was McSorely doesn't carry a Bertuzzi sized ticket.

I just ask that the league take a stand. Either make an example of him and ban him or just let the man play. It has been a year and a half and everytime it comes time to review his suspension or whatever the play gets shown all over again. This needs to become water under the bridge and stop the continuous portrayal of the league as being savage. It can do no good for the league at all.

Yes he has. He missed 13 regular season games and 7 playoff games. That's 20 by itself. Then he didn't play in the 2 tournaments. So I'm guessing around 35 games so far.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.

Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output.

Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures.
