I did indeed read your post, but the reference was toward your taking the role of social arbitor. I just do not think much of an organization that would hire the likes of this piece of flotsom. Chris Simon falls into that category also, do you think that he should join next???? I am a long time fan of the game of hockey and its intense play, but acts like these have done nothing but hurt this game. So if a team, i.e. the Wings, who I have followed since 1967, chooses to associate themselves with such trash, then I will not be supporting them. I hope hard physical play never leaves hockey, but clean hard physical play. Sometimes a hit is a touch late or from behind, if it cannot be avoided. But tracking down a player from behind and sucker punching, jumping on them, and riding them to the ice with a forearm across the neck will never be accepted by me. Nor will a two handed swing to the head of a player. If these actions are acceptable to you, well cheer on. Mistake???? If it were a mistake then so be it. This was a diliberate act. He followed Moore, then sucker punched him from behind, jumped on him and rode him down. There was no mistake in that. Moore will never play again because of his actions. The same should hold true for Bertuzzi. Sorry if this offends anyone, but I will never condone that type of action in a game.

I do apologize for registering on YOUR board. I see that I made a mistake in joining, I thought that this was an open forum for fans opinions etc. Please accept my most humble apologies for intruding on YOUR sanctum. I have no idea who motorcitykid is, but if they are of the opinion that Bertuzzi should be banned from the NHL then they must be OK.

Sorry but I think that Bertuzzi should never have been allowed on the ice again. I love hard nosed hockey but what he did was pure cowardice. Since he now wears the red and white, I will be hanging up my jersey.
