The neck fractures probably happened when he first fell to the ice. If you look at it, the head nails the ice at a bad angle. For anyone that has fallen on ice, you know it can hurt, no imagine basically all your body weight falling and landing head first, that's a good neck-breaking possibility.
The NHL needs to stop excessive violence like this, but it needs to be fair. Bertuzzi gets a lifetime suspension? If that's going to be the gold standard, the NHL is going to lose A LOT of players. If the league wants to be fair, suspend him for the rest of the season (Which basically screws the Canucks) and take away a year's pay.
$6.633 million
Let me be more clear:
$6.633 million USD
Hit em where it hurts, their pocketbook. That would send one hell of a message across the NHL.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
