Put yourself in Bertuzzi's shoes for a second.
The Avalanche player Moore previously had a nasty hit on your arguably best player, Naslund.
You want to enact some revenge, so you try to taunt him into a fight during the game. No success as Moore pussies out each time. You are in the middle of a hockey game with your adrenaline flowing and you are getting mad at Moore. You see him skating and you think to yourself "I dont want this guy pussying out again" and then you grab his jersey and deck him in the head with a punch. Good hit for the coward who didn't want to fight before. Unfortunately, he was not expecting Moore to fall the way he did which caused damage to his neck.
I will state this again: 5 game suspension should have been handed out. No more, no less.
