NEW YORK (August 8, 2005) - Vancouver Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi, who had been suspended indefinitely by the National Hockey League on March 8, 2004 for an incident that injured Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore, has been reinstated for the start of the 2005-06 season, the League announced today.

Bertuzzi had been suspended for the remainder of the 2003-04 season, including the final 13 regular-season games plus the entire 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He remained suspended throughout the 2004-05 cancelled season, in which the suspension barred Mr. Bertuzzi from participating in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and both the 2004 and 2005 IIHF World Championships, as well as preventing him from playing in any European professional league. Mr. Bertuzzi forfeited a total of $501,926.39 in salary as a result of his suspension.

Slightly changing the subject - apparently before Forsberg went to Philly he expressed interest in teaming up with either of the following countrymen: Naslund or Sundin.
Now - can you even START to imagine how absofuckinglutely crushingly fucking beautiful it would have been to have a Naslund/Bertuzzi/Forsberg line?
It would have blown my mind.
Salary aside, I'll bet that P.F. is secretly pissed this won't happen. - Tue, 9 Aug 2005 8:03am

Fuckin rights, get that bruiser back on the ice, he makes the league too much money, Steve Moore was a bum anyways. Who would YOU rather watch play hockey? Cheap shot or not, Bert is still a way more exciting player than,,, what was that other guys name again? - Tue, 9 Aug 2005 10:56am

I still say the hit wasnt what fractured his neck, neither was the fall, i think it was when all the rest of the players piled up on top of him. - Tue, 9 Aug 2005 5:05pm

Awww Mr.hell are you anti sports violence?? If bertuzzi plays any different from his old style I will be dissapointed. I hope he doesnt puss out on checks and physical play, I wonder if the refs are gonna be biased on the calls they make as well. - Wed, 10 Aug 2005 5:16pm

Awww, Brandi. Are you illiterate?
If you took the time to understand what I wrote you would see I am mocking the bleeding hearts who want Bertuzzi put away.

I guess I should have taken the time to read your post in more detail. Perhaps after a second look at my post I should have hit the enter button after the first sentance, to seperate my thoughts more clearly for you guys. I figured your post was sarcasm, and you were trying to make some point about him not being delt enough punishment. Battles? Fuck off. - Wed, 10 Aug 2005 7:20pm

Calm down, boy-who-blows-horns.
With your panties in such a knot, Bertuzzi could very easily come up behind you and one-punch you into a neck brace.
Can't we just get along? I want violence in hockey as much as the next guy. - Thu, 11 Aug 2005 12:26pm

Your insulting me because I play the horn? Thats weak. Plus my panties are in a bunch not a knot.

I'm calmer than you are dude, calmer than you are. - Thu, 11 Aug 2005 4:48pm

You took that as an insult? You must have a chip on your shoulder the size of your granny panties.
Turning this into a contest about who is calmer seems rather nerdish. We should change that to a contest about who can misread other people's responses. Wait! That's pretty nerdish too.
Let's make it a contest over who can blow the most hot air.
You first... - Thu, 11 Aug 2005 5:08pm

dont you think its more cowardly to run from punishment? Steve had his chance to own up to his 'physical' game yet he pussy footed about the whole time... id be fucking hysterical if i were on the ice at the same time... for anyone to say that bert was a coward, get on the ice and play at that level and lets see how well you keep your composure after you see your captain go down. Im not saying that i would or wouldn't have hit steve moore had i been in bert's place, but certainly dont say hes a coward... frustrated giant maybe... but corwardly certainly not - Fri, 12 Aug 2005 5:08pm

I am excited we got Park. He is a little fast fucker. The last game I saw live we lost 4 - 2 cause of him, but now he is on our side. Sucks about Sopel. Sucks really bad. Gonna miss that hippy. - Sat, 13 Aug 2005 6:29pm

Sopel looks more like a crack dealer. Hopefully Park can contribute to the second line. - Sat, 13 Aug 2005 9:48pm
