Yeah, Bertuzzi did sucker punch him to the back of the head, in retaliation for Moore's own dirty play a few games before. A dumb move? Yes. However, the broken neck and facial lacerations probably came from Moore's teammates dogpiling on the pair of them after the hit.
You're smarter than that Tare. Retaliation was the hit earlier in the game. The event being retaliated for, when watched in slow-mo replay, involved the other player catching an edge and taking a bad fall in to Moore's elbow. Granted, he would have killed him had the other guy not caught the edge, but he caught an edge and fell none the less. Also, slow-mo replays of the Bertuzzi hit show Moore falling limp to the ice with the Todd falling on his neck, so it is HIGHLY unlikely that the injuries were caused by pilers on. Here's hoping the BC authorities file charges.
And to the rest of this thread, I believe it was the South Park parental units who said it best...
