I watched Vancouver's 6-3 235 pound Todd Bertuzzi's brutal attack on Colorado's Steve Moore and there is no reason why, in my opinion, that this man shouldn't be charged with criminal assault. There was no reasonable justification for the blindside attack. Attacking someone and breaking their neck is not part of any sport. Moore sustained a concussion, a cervical injury (neck fracture), deep facial lacerations and abrasions to the forehead, right cheek and upper lip. Bertuzzi fell on top of Moore after he attacked from behind. There is talk on many sports related news pages about how Bertuzzi should be suspended for his actions. If it were up to me that would be an academic question because he would be playing for the prison team instead of the NHL for the next 10 years. Read about it
