lmao - you callin' that wit there spiner? - notice no one is coming to your support here? You haven't noticed they no longer care? You read my 'bottom line'? I tried to imply there that both sides had valid points, but neither will change their 'minds'. The rest obviously knew I was trying to end the bickering and have not continued the talk like yourself. I do not think it is me that is continuing this petty 'scrap', but you - and you are looking foolish, foolish, foolish! Did the web reference get your goat? Settle down there LASSIE!

Dont get me wrong, i'm all for defending yourself and saying what you want.However some line has to be drawn to keep the integrity of the thread and the topic intact.Or it just becomes a "i know you are but what am i" situation that fewer and fewer people want to be a apart of. Im posting this again so someone who works here can see A. how much room it takes up B.there is nothing about the actuall topic in this post C. is there some criteria that a post has to meet? SOOOO you subscribe to the "I'm telling on you!" mentality then? :)

I wish that day had never happened," he said, pausing to regain his composure. He seemed genuine in wishing Moore a full recovery and appeared on the verge of tears when he thanked his family and friends for the support they showed him over the last 17 months. There were also flashes of his sometimes prickly personality when asked if the incident will change the way he plays the game. "I'm going to come back and play hard every night," said the 30-year-old Sudbury, Ont., native. "I'm coming back who I was. I'm not going to change. I've become successful doing what I do best, playing hard every night with a chip on my shoulder. I heard a lot of stuff about people thinking I'm going to come back soft. That's not who I am." Bertuzzi still can't explain why he stalked Moore down the ice, punched him on the back of the head, then fell on top of him on the ice. "I've had a lot of sleepless nights trying to think of things," he said. "But you know what, it happened. I can't go back and change what happened. The only thing I can do is come back even stronger, a better person off the ice and a better person on the ice." GO CANUCKS GO!!

Bert's sentence doesn't match the crime. - AGAIN - its not his 'crime' cause players in the NHL punch each other - and this is cause for a 5 min penalty - it's the result of the action that is being punished - Moore's cracked vertabrae . . . sorry you got nailed by your State troopers for stealing a golf cart . . .

Bottom line is that Bert stated he wanted to change his image both off and on the ice forward looking. Nothing can change what happened. Some obviously believe he got off light. Others believe he deserves to get a 'second chance'. I believe he has been punished for the results of the action - and not the action itself that, in itself, is not something a player should be suspended for life (or 20+ games for that matter). Anyway, the underlining Av/Nuck fued has been fueled for years - that's what happens when a previously inferior team (ala Canucks) begin challenging the divisional powerhouse for first place. Attack my spelling, attack my grammer, take each word in the quote Todd gave and analyze it like some kinda philosophical genius - the bottom line is you folks are never going to reason with his actions and I will never condemn him for life. GO CANUCKS GO!!!

"Make no mistake about it, what Parker did was wrong. He deliberately attacked Jovanovski, but Bertuzzi is one of the most important Canucks. They cannot afford to lose the energy and scoring that Bertuzzi brings to the ice." quote from a sports page back then . . .

oops - the second part of that was supposed to say Parker again . . . before my friends hone in on that - and only that - part of my post . . . attacking persons instead of thoughts and opinions seems to be a real focal point here . . .

Are you dating wfrazerjr there web spiner? Or just coming to the aid of a friend - like the Superstar Todd Bertuzzi when he stepped into Scott Parker when Worrell was trying to maime Jovanovski "Bertuzzi jumped onto the ice to try and help out teammate Ed Jovanovski, who was being beaten by the Avalanche's Scott Parker." . . . or when he gave Steve Moore back some of his own? . . . there has been bad blood for years between these teams - you and yours cute spitting and mocking me for grammer and spelling means nothing and the underlining factors remain. Us Canuck fans know all the underlining factors 'CAUSE WE WATCHED EVERY GAME THAT LEAD UP TO THE SUSPENSION. Period. End of story - it is you guys that "came to the party late" and only watched half the show - the most violent part of it - granted - but half the show indeeed . . . GAME ON!!! and kissssssss to wfrazerjr and web spiner - PS - what the hell is a web spiner? do you mean web SPINNER?

as for canucks goaltending - I wont say Cloutier, nor Auld is the answer - but lets get realistic - there are about 4 'playoff' goaltenders that steal games - and a few that HAVE done it for a year . . . Giguere one year and Kiprosoff the year after . . . it remains to be seen . . . so - leave Auld alone - hell - he hasnt even played a year yet and you are questioning his career in the NHL? - if you dont have Martin Brodeur or Khabibulin, you pretty much dont have goaltending under the standards implied . . . its funny how goaltenders take so much heat . . .

"I'm a firm believer in second chances..."

I take your points there chris2sy - but the spelling is 'phrase' - apparently wfrazerjr thinks he is in a spelling and grammer test - so I thought I'd address that now . . . all your points are valid and fair - except the crown part . . . I have to argue that what goes on on the ice should stay there - the act was not criminal in hockey's sphere of gaming - players are trying to hurt each other every game, where does a line get drawn? Todd punched him in the back of the head - and went to slam him into the ice - fair enough - but this type of action happens ALL THE TIME - to get law enforcement involved is short sighted and over exagerating the action . . . The severity of the injury to Moore was the only part that was unintended. is correct - the "assault" is unfair - like I said, this type of infliction happens every game - and is part of the game - players that hit stars know that they are marked men - steve was a marked man - he was going to pay a price - one that was intended to hurt him - NOT break his neck, but hurt him . . . he shoulda stepped up, taken the shots Bert was going to give him and turtle - ala Claude Lemieux . . .

and regarding "see that your case has already been made with better grammar and fewer capital letters " - when you cant win a debate, attack the debater . . . cmon! - if you are trying to come accross as some kind of intellectual, you ae in the wrong scene bro . . .

good point - I AM late to the party . . . just a 'nuck fan sick of the 'ban Bert forever' mentality - get real! . . . and the reason you dont see Bert smushing guys like twist, domi, ray is that Bert plays on the top line - the skill line - with Naslund - teams wouldnt be stupid enough to throw these plumbers out there and get burned on the scoreboard in case a score was to be settled . . . and, "That's hockey"!! - that will happen this year - and you can witness what happens to 'tough guys' like whomever the Avs toss Berts way . . .

PS - the implication that Todd broke Moore's neck intentionally with a punch is kinda out there, dont you think? if you watch how Bert 'fights' he always just smooches others to the ice - a fighter he is not . . . i think maybe?! the dog pile after?! was a little more contributing than this post has acknowledged . . . to not call this an accident is rather ignorant - do you really believe that a punch to the back of the head and a slam was done by Bert to intentionally hurt Moore as much as humanely possible - intentionally neck breaking martial art move by Bert? - cmon! . . . an accident it was and Bert was punished FOR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE ACTION - NOT THE ACTION ITSELF - there have been a LOT more viscous intentional actions to hurt players than this - the result was the thing that was awful . . .

"I'm a firm believer in second chances..."

just a couple things to remember: - the game was (9-2 or something like that) - Steve was a marked man - WHY WAS HE SENT ON THE ICE LATE IN THE 3RD PERIOD AGAINST THE BERTUZZI LINE? - Col Coaches played a role - for about 6 weeks, the media CONSTANTLY interviewed the canucks asking "IS THIS THE DAY MOORE GETS PAID BACK FOR THE HIT ON NASLUND?!" - because the games were tight, the fire fueled longer and longer - the media played a role - if you watch the tape, it is EVIDENT that Steve Moore was being cornered for at least 30-45 seconds by Bertuzzi - to skate away and try turning your back on someone obviously looking to pay you back, KNOWING THAT HOCKEY PROTOCOL MEANT YOU HAD TO ANSWER FOR HITS AGAINST STAR PLAYERS WAS FOOLISH TO BEGIN WITH - STEVE SHOULD HAVE TURTLED - Steve Moore played a role (as viscous and callous as you want to call me, you know this to be true) - the fans were calling for blood of Moore - and GM Place ERUPTED AFTER THE PUNCH - ERUPTED - FOR THE FANS TO LATER SAY HOW DISCUSTED THEY WERE WAS SICK - the fans played a role TODD BERTUZZI PAID THE PRICE - BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF MITIGATING AND CONTRIBUTING FACTORS - LEAVE THIS SCAPEGOAT ALONE NOW . . . . I STILL QUESTION, CONSIDERING THE CANUCKS WERE AT HOME, GETTING SLAPPED ON THE SCOREBOARD AND WITH THE UNDERLINING FIRE, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY DID THE COCKY AV COACHES SEND OUT STEVE MOORE LATE IN THE 3RD PERIOD . . . MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER . . . . Hockey is going to rock this year! let this issue die. Steve Moore has played this up FAR too long . . . as has his lawyers . . . no apology attemtped?! lies, lies, lies . .. . just like he was at the hospital specializing in broken necks . . .. lies, lies, lies . . .
