from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
...Even Flames President Ken King has said that Bertuzzi, having paid his penalty (an indefinite suspension that amounted to 20 NHL games, approximately $500,000 in lost salary, plus assault charges that yielded a year’s probation with community service and no criminal record), deserves a second chance. Despite polls that indicate a split opinion in that regard, King maintains that fans in Calgary are willing to give it to the notorious forward.
Funny, but I can’t help but wonder who speaks for Steve Moore.
Moore can’t say much on his own. The matter, more than four years removed from the terrible event, has still not made its way into court. Because of that, there is a moratorium regarding public comments on the case in Canada.

OMG!!!!! Drop it already. The only people who are still talking about this is the media. Fans and players don’t want to hear about it anymore. Fact is, this kind of stuff has been happening in hockey for years. Things like stick swinging in the 70’s, Domi’s sucker punch on Ulf, Pronger stomping on Kesler. How come this writer doesn’t write about these incident’s? No one got baddly hurt, so those stories won’t sell papers or get people listening like the Bertuzzi incident. Hey, if you don’t like this stuff don’t play hockey, don’t watch hockey and don’t write about hockey
BTW, I think what Todd did was aweful and he was my favorite player. He was no longer my favorite player after that. But it’s time to forget about it!!! And it’s not like Moore was a kind and harmless player. His headshot on Naslund (leagal or not) could have easily ended Naslund’s career too. He was no angel!!!!
