I guess, technically, the Canucks should have taken care of May's comments in house and probably would have avoided the $250,000 fine (Canadian dollars, that is; which is equal to about $5.00 American).
I guess I'm just not understanding your argument, Jay. The league jumped on this because of the media attention and because someone broke his neck. If this had happened in junior, college, or even high school hockey Bertuzzi would be banned permanently and probably thrown in jail for a while. Bertuzzi, The Canucks, and the Canuck fans should all be grateful he is not in jail.
Furthermore, Bertuzzi still has a shot at resuming his hockey career; something Steve Moore most likely does not.
