Actually Naslund wasn't
attacked by Moore. What happened was Moore was ready to take him out, and possibly save a breakaway and Naslund saw him and turtled. Naslunds concussion is directly attributed to bailing out when he could have countered the hit or tried to stop. If he did that he wouldn't have been hurt. Anybody who has played anything more significant than house league hockey understands that.
And no it wasn't a cheapshot by Moore. Again for those who actually have strapped on a pair of skates before, once you are commited to a hit, you are commited, whether you hit or miss your target. Saying Naslund was a victim is like saying those drowning in the tsunami was their fault.
It is unbelievable that people attack Moore though. So he didn't fight, good for him. If I was on the ice for 2 minutes and some goon with fresh legs just jumps over the boards to go at me, I'm not gonna fight him either. You are tired, he isn't. But again, you have to play the game at a competative level to understand that.
But somewhere in the back of my head,me thinks when Bertuzzi plays in Colorado, he's in for payback, just like the payback he promised on Moore. Can't wait to see his career end.
