from CBC,
Todd Bertuzzi has filed a lawsuit against former Vancouver Canucks coach Marc Crawford, alleging his negligence contributed to Bertuzzi’s infamous sucker punch on ex-Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore in March 2004, according to court documents obtained by CBC News.
thanks to the numerous folks for the pointer…

So Bert’s going the “I’m not responsible for me” route, eh? What an a—-! oh, wait, I already knew that. It’s just nice to have that opinion repeatedly confirmed.

Wasn’t a Red Wing? Um….. hate to tell you…..
When my coach used to say ‘make them pay’ or ‘get so and so off his game’ he didn’t need to add the caveat that I shouldn’t attempt to injure him.
It means finish your checks, it means give him a push after the whistle at most it means goad him into a fight.
What Bertuzzi did is inexcusable and of his doing.
It sure would be nice if Moore would become as invisible off the ice as Bertuzzi is on the ice. This is getting old.

A friend of mine gave me some privileged access to the contents of the complaint. It reads “waaaa waaaa waaaa,” etc.
Way to stand up and take responsibility for your actions Bert. As a Sharks fan I love the timing too, way to manufacture a distraction right before the playoffs. Since the Ducks love the rough stuff so much, can anyone in that locker-room sucker punch that guy, preferably square in the nuts? What a moron.

ok, ok. he was a red wing, technically.
but a guy can try to forget, can’t he?

You have to admit, it wasn’t as though he did much as a Red Wing, so it would be easy to forget.

Ah yes Baroque. But us Canucks fans are trying to disown him.

Who do you root for in this douche-fest?
Getting them all together in one room - which is then obliterated by a meteor impact.

Am I at the “what a joke page?” He ended a players career and yet refuses to accept responsibility for his actions on the ice. Wasn’t he found guilty in civil court? I believe that makes him responsible. As far as the listening to your coach argument, he is an adult and could have simply said no.

wow. i am so glad that he isn’t (and never was) a red wing. it was bertuzzi’s gutless sucker punch that led to moore’s injuries. whether or not crawford told him to do it doesn’t matter, HE did it.
jeezus. i guess i shouldn’t be surpised, given the litigious society we’ve created for ourselves.
