If that is the case. I guess moore would have to name some Colorado Avs players and the Colorado team in the lawsuit. Wouldn't that be ironic?
Big bert and Moore
- Thread starter stryker
- Start date
Milbury
The reason Milbury sent Bert packing at the time is because he knew Bert would hurt the team more than help it. By M's own admission it wasn't easy to send a big strapping kid with great tallent packing. But the kid had a bad head on his shoulders.
The fact is that Burtuzzi has a head problem combined with great size and great hands. With the Canucks he jumps the bench for a ten gamer and then throws a punch prior to a stanley cup run. Milbury was shaking his head and Burke was doing the same thing.
Move on - trade the big lug - he's a head case.

Guess we all see what we want to see 
--- cause I don’t see the “falls forward on top of Moore” or “fell because he stepped on his stick with his left skate” --- I guess some people will find anything to diminish what Bertuzzi actually did. You know, sucker punched Moore, drove his head into the ice and broke Moore’s neck – that thing.

like Moore accelerated, dropped his shoulder, and aimed for Naslund's head, away from the puck and play?timec said:Guess we all see what we want to see

Right. And by the way, get it right. It was a fractured vertebrae. It WAS NOT a broken neck.
I find it interesting how no one at all seems to have addressed the coaches role in all of this. You know, the colorado coach....the guy who put a player back on the ice with 2 minutes to go in an 8-2 game, a player who had been a marked man all game, a player who was a marginal checking line player - in short a player that had no business on the ice at that point in that game.
I have to think the Colorado coach, knowing they would be facing the Canucks in the playoffs, was hoping for exactly something like what happened....suspensions to one or more canucks players that would affect them in the playoffs. You CANNOT tell me the coach did not think something would happen when he put that player back on the ice in a game like that....
Okay - what about Crawford's responsibility, then? If you want to start blaming the coaches what was one of your $6 million a year, super-star (?) players doing on the ice with two minutes left in an 8-2 blowout? Why wasn't the first line put to bed and a few of the guys who don't get much playing time put on? Why put on a player with a history of making selfish, bone-head plays that cost his team?
C’mon stick, let’s play doctorstickdoctor said:
Let’s see – would those fractured Steve Moore vertebrae be Lumbar vertebrae --- nope, not Lumbar vertebrae. Well then, would those fractured Steve Moore vertebrae be Thoracic vertebrae --- nope, not Thoracic vertebrae. Well, what the
that must mean those fractured Steve Moore vertebrae are Cervical vertebrae – oh my --- then, since a neck fracture (a broken neck) is a break in one or more of the Cervical vertebrae, would that mean that as Bertuzzi fractured Steve Moore’s Cervical vertebrae, Bertuzzi broke Steve Moore’s neck? I’m not a doctor, but I’ve played doctor in the past. Hey, get this --- when you google ‘broken neck’ you get this image in the search result
Like I say..."you live by the sword, you die by the sword". Yes, what Bertuzzi did was wrong and he has and will continue to pay for it. What Moore did to Naslund was wrong and he paid for it. Again, two things Harvard did not teach him. The law of the jungle and how to take a punch.
And that putz who quoted the wise man of GMs, Mike Milbury? Give your fucking head a shake buddy. This is the same guy who traded Chara AND Spezza for Yashin and promptly gave Yashin a 10 year contract. He also traded Roberto Luongo, a franchise goalie, to Florida.

In the video, it looked to me like Bert was trying to catch Moore as he fell to the ice, but then tripped on the stick. Unlucky about the stick. Bert tried to prevent the whole thing.
This started with the league's poor prevention practices for incidents like this, on ice officials who blow calls, coaches who put players on the ice at dicy times, and what some old-timers deem to be a lack of respect for fellow players what with cheap shots like Moore drilled into Naslund. The whole game needs a reboot.
