Moore's elbow was part of the flow of the game, what flow of the game says dive at a person and elbow him in the head. Bertuzzi never really stalked Moore, he didn't go looking for him, he was right there in front of him.
Naslund's injury was sustained through gameplay, once again elbowing someone in the head is not part of regular gameplay. An elbow in the head that causes a concussion and cuts and bruises is a flagrant assault.
Comparing the situation to that of a rapist is a bit overboard, I mean come on the kid fell to the ice after he was punched with 4 or 5 people on top of him, you don't honestly believe that the punch caused all the damage?
What do you mean by he apologized sort of? He was sincere in his apology, I mean what do people want him to do, never play the game again?
Once again the law has no place in hockey, they will ruin the game, people will be so afraid to touch each other they might as wall be playing Basketball.

How many players over the years have done this and had no reprecussions other than a suspension, no threat of jail time hanging over their heads, it's a bunch of bullshit, hockey is a doomed game if people think like a few people in this thread.
Send him to prison, charge him with assault, what a joke
