LOL. Heatley should stop by his church of choice every effing day of the week and thank a higher power that he even plays in the NHL. If a certain judge owned a pair of testicles, he would be rotting in a Georgia jail cell following the vehicular manslaughter of his good friend.

I'm cool with all the verbal barbs being thrown around, but this is kinda silly. We all know it happened, and it is inexcusable, but coming from someone that has Bertuzzi on their team, that's kind of hypocritical don't you think? He ended someone's career maliciously, but no one brought that up (that I saw, and I apologize for that person if they did). Calling one better than the other is stupid, they were both horribly reckless actions that resulted in terrible consequences. Let's leave that non-hockey discussion for another forum shall we? It takes away from how great this series was between to great teams.

Hit me today that our season was over.

I was hoping we could play on so that Lidstrom could challenge the all time playoff games record.

Also, Datsyuk was playing so well that it's a shame to see his season end. I'd love to have seen how much further he could have taken his game.

Not to mention Howard.

Heater killed a guy.
Last time I checked Moore is perfectly alive and embellished his "symptoms" in order to win money from Bertuzzi even years after the hit.

Both were wrong, but you can absolutely say one is worse than the other.

I hear what you're saying but you're talking about the end results. I agree that the end result of the Heatley incident was worse. What would you say if what Bertuzzi had done resulted in the death of Moore and Heatley's accident only ended the career of his teammate? Would it then be the opposite? It's certainly possible if Moore's neck/head had hit the ice at just the wrong angle or something else hurt him in the plie up. Heatley could have crashed the car at a different angle. Both actions are the same in my eyes, one simply ended a lot worse than the other. That's really not the point I was trying to make though. All I was trying to get across was that I didn't feel that the comment that was made was appropriate.

Would love to know what evidence you have that Moore "embellished his 'symptoms'".

Good grief -- that's rich. A Sharks fan shows up on a Wings board to spout off about how "even without Heatley, the Sharks would still beat you ..." A Wings fan expresses his disgust with Heatley's criminal history, and Sharks fan No. 2 shows up (again, on a Wings board) to lecture the Wings fans about what is "appropriate."

I can't speak for everyone, but I'd guess that most Wings fans -- especially in the immediate aftermath of a tough, 7-game series loss to the Sharks -- would prefer that you showcase your moral vanity on a Sharks board rather than a Wings board.

Either you did not read the entire conversation or you are just missing the point. It's really not that big of a deal either way. I didn't just show up, I've been here for a couple years and enjoy hearing opinions from people who see things from a different perspective. I don't enjoy only hearing from fans that share the same viewpoint. If you only prefer to discuss things with wings fans that's fine. Just block me. Problem solved.
