I agree that Claude's hit was probably worse, it was a nasty, dirty hit. The difference was he did not plan it for 2-3 weeks. There was no "bounty". When McCarty kicked Claude's ass and Cluade turtled, he went straight at him. I don't recall McCarty waiting till there was a game that was already decided.
Bertuzzi's punishment, I believe, is in line for the action. I think if this happened in Denver, which was the next time they played, the suspension would have been less. The downside to that is there probably would have already been criminal charges, which I DO NOT think is right.
I just hope Moore will fully recover and play again...
BTW.. Thank you Strange Famous, that was a great article..
