All means of internal resolution have been dealt with by the NHL... Steve Moore is pushing hockey into a dangerous category, because he still needs Bertuzzi to SHOW HIM THE MONEY before he goes away.
"Hey! You tripped me and I slid into the boards and broke my leg... I'll sue you!"
I'm a firm proponent of letting the NHL deal with the matter... which they did. This sets dangerous precedent.

So, if you get hurt in the job, let's say, due to a willful and criminal act that was, at the least, facilitated by the company, you will be content to let your employer's parent corporation decide what is fair and just, and give up all rights to pursue civil action?
I believe Moore also said (well, his lawyer had said) he would not file suit until such time as it appeared his NHL career was unlikely to continue. Perhaps he has reached that point?
I think people are annoyed because, perhaps, it is perceived that Moore is being unpatriotic, continuing the controversy during the Olympics, and adding more dramatics to Team Canada's pursuit of the gold, especially with the Gretzky thing going on. While it would not be my choice if I were in his shoes to pursue the matter this particular week, it's his choice - thousands of other lawsuits will be filed this week, if he wants to be one of them, so be it.
