This is correct, the punch knocked him forward, and Bertuzzi basically jumped on his back and followed him down for the ride, with Moore's heading hitting the ice first.
I'm glad that they suspended him for the rest of the season/playoffs, but I think that the police investigation is a little uncalled for. How exactly does one go about investigating a hockey fight?
