refresher: Todd Bertuzzi is charged for hitting a colorado defensemen in the head during a game last year in the NHL. The hit was a sucker punch. What is your take on the trial?

the media took it a bit too far. It was a punch, that's how hockey's played and you know a simple $1000 fine or 3 day suspension could solve this problem but nope... The media intervened and turned the situation into a catastrophe. However, the punch was a cheap shot and it resulted in a head concussion forcing the player out of the season. So in either case, Bertuzzi got what he had coming for him but the media just made it more worse.

I thought it was a bad hit. Bertuzzi should be charged for doing such a thing to a defenseless players. Emotions can fly during a game but attempting to injure a player is wrong. The media may have taken this too far but still, what are they to blame? They'rejust doing their job.

well the punch was wrong and I think bertuzzi knows he won't do that mistake again but I don't know why he's being charged by the police. Isn't it the NHL who decides the punishment, not the vancouver police.

Come on, its just a punch. That ref is stupid for doing that anyway. I would give him a few weeks in jail and thats it.

The trial and court case was total BS. What he did was stupid -he realizes that, and in no way do I or most other sensible hockey fans condone what he did. But the whole thing was blown way out of proportion by the media. There's no way this should have gone to court.

You can't even prove that it was his punch that broke Moore's neck. It was most likely all the Avalanche players piling on top of him afterwards.


BTW: If you didn't know, he's already reached a plea bargain, so the case is basically dead. :)
