As if anyone cares at this point, but whatever. This lawsuit and story has been dragged on for 4 years now, and it is not about to end anytime soon.
We all know what happened, even if you don’t like hockey you know what happened. In the latest twist however, Bertuzzi has taken a court action against Marc Crawford. Bertuzzi is claiming that because Crawford was coach, and he allegedly told the players “to make him [Moore] pay the price,” Bertuzzi had an obligation to go out and fuck up Moore.
So that’s pretty much it. I think Todd is still trying to cover his ass, and he’s now trying to make it so that if he loses this lawsuit, Crawford will be responsible for paying a portion of the $38 million Moore is seeking.
Personally, I think that this could have all been avoided had Moore just turned around and fought Bertuzzi. Now I am not saying that this is all Moore’s fault, but I truly believe that when Bert was tugging on Moore’s jersey, had Moore just turned and dropped his mitts this lawsuit would be a non-issue. Moore would still be capable of playing but he did not, and that is that.
Bertuzzi should not have pounded him in the side of the face and drove him into the ice. The rest of the players should not have doggy-piled on top of them, but it all happened and that cannot be changed. I just hope for the sake of hockey, the sake of all parties involved, and for the sake of the fans we can put this issue to rest. I certainly am sick of hearing about it, and I vow to never talk about it again.

Wow. Just … wow.
Had Moore just turned and fought, none of this would have happened?
And I guess, had Lincoln not freed the slaves, he wouldn’t have been shot?
Mind-numbing, victim-blaming logic. Typical, though.
Bertuzzi deserves as much public vilification as can be heaped upon his sorry head.
I hope Steve Moore gets every cent of money Todd has earned since his insane, near-fatal assault.
