Well, I hate both the Avs and the Canucks, so I am definitely impartial. The hit Moore thru on Nas was definitely set up, but it was clean, in my opinion. The sucker punch Bertuzzi thru on Moore was one of the cheapest shots I have ever seen in hockey. If the guy isn't mad enough to stay and fight you, than either you didnt do your job to get him rialed up enough, or he is too smart to fall for your BS. I agree totally with a 1 year suspension being his punishment, but if they didn't permenantly ban McSorley, they can't do that to Todd. But knowing the past calls of the league commission, they will probably fuck this up like they do everything else.
And as far as hockey fights in general, they are a necessary, and fairly entertaining part of the game. Much more often then not, a fight prevents injuries like this from happening if the refs allow the fight to come to an end naturally, rather than breaking it up. Often a 1 on 1 fight can releave the frustration of an entire team, stopping further scrums and intents to injure like this. If fighting was removed from the game, injuries like this would become common place in the NHL.
