Couple of points to make.
One: No, Moore's neck wasn't broken - the media was blowing it out proportion. Two fractured vertebrae, and supposedly he'll be back in 6-8 weeks.
Two: I'm going to agree with Silent_Jay about how its been completely taken out of context. People who don't know aobut hockey were complaining, the media was completely biased - They portrayed Bertuzzi in the worst way possible, and the league was trying to get fans back by overdoing the sentence.
Bottom line, Bertuzzi was the victim of idiocy and Colin Campbell. A career ending sucker-punch, if that's what you want to call it, was given 12 games. This 6-8 week injury [Players get season-ending injuries and the perpetrators don't see a day of suspension] deserves at most just the regular season. The league is just trying to save its reputation. Bertuzzi's just an unfortunate recipient of bad luck.
Oh, and, Kurant:
P.S. Save Bertuzzi!
