You're right. Bad choice of words on my part. Bertuzzi's career should effectively be over, but given economics and the current state of the NHL, he is allowed another chance, and to my disappointment which echos hollow, alot of other people want him to play hockey.

I don't dislike Bertuzzi. As a matter of fact, I was the first to rip our GM in Ottawa (Muckler) for not picking him up a few years ago. But his actions don't ring hollow with me. What he did was a savage, premeditated attack on someone who I believe wasn't out to injure Naslund, but circumstances ended differently. (What did Naslund miss? 2 games?)

So now Bertuzzi is on probation. He can play, but how will he play. You can bet, as a physical player the first person he hits, clean or dirty, they are gonna stay down. How does that improve the game of hockey, a game that is suffering more than the other big 4 pro sport leagues?
