The only fireworks that materialized for this one came in the form of swirling red goal lights. Payback will have to wait until the two-points aren’t quite so important.” [ The last sentence’ s emphasis is mine.} We all know what happened the very next game. In a sentence, CF has encapsulated exactly why the NHL gave such a stiff suspension of Todd Bertuzzi and why it also fined the Canucks $250,000. It wasn’t the act of violence that got Bertuzzi suspended, so much as the culture exemplified in CF’s comments. I feel that Bertuzzi’ s suspension was mostly fair. In my opinion, in order to make the ruling com- pletely fair the NHL would have also added the fol- lowing: a symbolic $100 fine to each player from the Vancouver and Colorado teams (for their direct com- plicity in the ugly incident), a symbolic $1000 fine to every team in the NHL (for their complicity in encouraging the culture that really caused the ugly incident), and then that money should have been used to buy a small mirror for each and every NHL fan and hockey journalist across the continent (so they can have a good look for who else might have had a hand in knocking out Steve Moore). I would also recommend a full-length mirror for Gary Bettman, but I understand every time he looks into a mirror it breaks anyway. Mike F. Counselors: Combined childcare/teaching.
