Not that I am saying what he did was right, I totally think it was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in hockey, but if Moore would've taken the challenge we wouldn't be worrying about this right now.

Moore already took the challenge with Cooke in the first period; how many Canucks does he have to fight until they're satisfied? Should the Canucks have just lined up to have Moore take them on one at a time? The fight with Cooke should have been sufficient.
As far as punishment from the league, Bertuzzi should be suspended at least through the end of the playoffs, but I don't think criminal charges should come into it. It was a cheap shot, but I don't think Bertuzzi meant to hospitalize Moore.
