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.

These players I was refering to coming back from worse injuries are Mario Lemieux(Cancer), Saku Koivu(Cancer), Gary Roberts(Neck Surgery), Bryan Berard(Eye), Cam Neely(Knee), Steve Yzerman(Knee), Grant Marshall(Broken Neck fractured 3 vertebrae returned 4 months later) this is all I can think of off the top of my head.
I also agree with Cubby that if the original Moore hit on Naslund was punished with a simple 1-2 game suspension things would of not turned out this way.
Not at all bent out of shape here, and I don't think Bertuzzi should be suspended for a year because Moore probably in my opinion won't miss a year. He will probably be back at the beginning of next year and possibly in the playoffs (although unlikely). Bertuzzi should of been suspended for the rest of the year. My original reaction of 5 games was a little off and after seeing a little more I the the rest of the year would of sufficed.
And yes the Canucks were fined in USD.
