I must agree this is a harsh statement to make, while I do believe Moore should have fought Bertuzzi, he was obviously game for the smaller Cooke, I wouldn't call him a pussy he was acting like any other rookie who doesn't fight, jeez why do I want to fight this big fucker, was probably what he was thinking. He should of never turned his back that was a mistake, especially when you know a player is pissed. The only lesson that Moore should learn out of this whole experiece is not to cheap shot a teams captain it's bad for your health, and he learned this lesson the hard way. I still say Bertuzzi was a scapegoat. Yes I read and saw the Johnson incident and I still say Bertuzzi should not of recieved this penalty the ice (Bertuzzi never drove his head) was the factor that caused the majority of the injuries, sure someones going to say I think I'm psychic but let a friend punch you in the head with a glove on and your neck will still be fine, now fall to the ice with 4 other people on you after you are already unconcious, that is where the injuries came from.
