Jesus Fucking Christ
Mar. 10th, 2004 12:25 pmAs you know, I occasionally talk about hockey here. Usually, it doesn't make much sense to anyone but me, and you all ignore it as is your due. This time, I'd like you to pay attention, because...
This time, it's this. Todd Bertuzzi sucker-punched Steve Moore. Moore is out the rest of the season/possibly forever with a broken vertebrae. Did you all read that? He broke his neck. Now, from the video I've seen (which is up for viewing on the main NHL page), I don't think it was the hit that did it, even though it was at an odd angle and Bertuzzi's a really big guy (245 pounds). I think it was the fall to the ice. Remember, Bertuzzi's a really big guy. And Moore fell at a really weird angle, with Bertuzzi on top of him.
A lot of people are screaming for Bertuzzi's blood. The police are investigating, considering pressing assault chargest, I think. Words like 'one year suspension' and 'banned for life' have been tossed around, and then there's the whole debate on whether this would have happened if the NHL didn't have the instigator rule. It's this huge, complex thing.
But for me, what it boils down to is...Jesus fucking Christ.
