So the big question for tonight? Will Chara get his head taken off by Montreal?
Oh, man, I forgot that game was tonight because I've been focused on NCAA games. Big night of sports.

Real men don't blindside people from behind... only sniveling cunts do
Colorado will hate Bertuzzi forever, but it's hard to blame him entirely for the struggle that happened afterward. He's a piece of cowardly shit taking a shot when he knew the guy wasn't looking, but I doubt he thought "I hope I break this guy's neck and end his career". While I'm still not sure he was punished accordingly, I do believe he does truly feel bad about ending a young players career. He's an epic douche, but you can tell he's still human enough to feel bad for what he ended up causing. His punch may not have directly caused the injury, but it started the brawl that did. If he didn't swing it wouldn't have happened, we all know that (including him).
Great pic KMFDJ! Look at Stevie Y. He looks like he's about ready to launch himself over the boards and take LeTurtle out at the knees.
People see what they want to see. Do pictures of Mr. Hankey get you excited?It looks like he's trying to take a power dump on the bench.

My whole point was that if someone does get hurt you really shouldn't penalize the player that did hurt someone more so than the other half dozen players that did the same thing yet their victims came out of it with less than career ending injuries.
It is hard to defend anything Bertuzzi did on that play. It was all over the top and out of line. However, in this instance "blindside" really isn't an apt description. It's not like it came out of nowhere. Bertuzzi tried to goad Moore into a fight by pulling on his arm and then his jersey. Moore wouldn't bite and continued to skate away, but Betuzzi was still pulling on Moore's jersey and pulled him back and sucker punched him in the back of the head. Moore kinda started to turtle and Bertuzzi pushed him to the ice. I believe what hurt Moore was more of that push than anything although it could have been the pile of people on top of Moore too.
What Bertuzzi did is no different than when players push one another into the boards as the opposing player is falling towards the boards. Both should be eliminated from the game, but I've probably seen that play a half a dozen times this season. It's amazing more players don't have career ending injuries because of it.

Now, Bertuzzi is a pariah because Moore is out of hockey. If Moore hadn't been hurt so bad Bertuzzi would just have been another asshole among many.
It looked worse than what it was.Bertuzzi kicked out of the Wings-Hawks Game for an elbow to the head. Dirty. Just dirty.

EDIT: I understand why the ref called it the way he did because of how it looked at real speed. But slowed down and shown again not that bad.
Wasn't dirty it was dumb. In the slow replays it looks like Bert hit him more with his tricep than his elbow.Oh I agree. But you can't tell me it wasn't just a dumb dirty play. Bertuzzi was a moron for even doing it. Thats what makes it dirty.

Maybe Berts out of practice. That might be the first guy he hit all season. He brings a lot to the table that I like, but he no longer plays with any grit. Hopefully he's coming out of his shell. It would be a shame if the NHL came down hard over this.

Bertuzzi will not be suspended additional games
At least he came into the dressing room and apologized. Unlike Lemieux.
Aiming for someone's head says nothing about "grit".
