HOLY HELL
David will definitely have more on this later, but man, after seeing that hit Todd Bertuzzi put on Steve Moore, I have a feeling that Bertuzzi is going to get a long suspension.
You may remember a few weeks ago when Moore knocked out Marcus Naslund, giving him a concussion that knocked him out for 3 games. Tonight, Bertuzzi decided to get revenge.
The game was ugly from the start. Avs won 9-2, but that's not the real story here.
Bertuzzi punched Moore in the head, then drove his face into the ice. Moore left the GM Place ice on a stretcher. I hate Colorado, but this is not acceptable at all.
Bertuzzi is going to get a long suspension. Knowing Colin Campbell, you can expect it. I don't think he'll get a 21-game suspension like the Capitals' Dale Hunter did in 1993 when he laid a vicious hit on then-Islanders forward Pierre Turgeon. But I see at least a 10-game suspension.
With the 9-2 loss tonight, the Canucks pretty much pissed away their shot at the Northwest Division crown. And with the inevitable Bertuzzi suspension coming, who knows what's going to happen with this hockey team.
The trade deadline is tomorrow. The Capitals are dealing. Olaf Kolzig anyone?
Again, David will have more on the Canucks later. What an ugly night in Vancouver.
