No making fun of anything Canadian you really don't want to get me started about that that includes our money.

According to yahoo! currency exchange as of 3/15 at 1:51pm MST:
$250,000 Canadian is equal to $187,729.97 US; a very nice "north of the border" discount for the C-men.
Now, with that clarification out of the way, let's talk neck injuries! Woo-hoo! Moore's injuries include the following: C3 and C4 transverse process spinal fractures; spine ligament injuries at the C3 and C4 level; a closed head injury with concussion; and multiple facial lacerations and abrasions. Mind you, I'm not a medical doctor, nor do I claim to offer a medical opinion, but it seems to me, based upon previous injuries of this nature to other professional athletes (Sterling Sharpe, etc), Mr. Moore is going to have a hell of time coming back and is most likely done, IMHO.
Just out of curiosity, whom were you referring to coming back from worse injuries? I would think that neck injuries would be the worst, but perhaps you know of other more severe injuries.
Any how, I wasn't trying to get you all bent of shape with this discussion, Jay; I was just trying to better understand your stance on the issue. I just don't see how anyone could justify Bertuzzi not being suspended for a year, but then again I don't see how Moore could come back from this injury, either.
