No doubt Naslund was reaching for the puck, however he did that before Moore was right on top of him. That part was probably a freak thing, however Moore could have let up on the hit because he was reaching and not deliever a shoulder to Naslunds head.

I’m a Bruins fan, too, and I value what guys like Terry O’Reiley and Cam Neely did for the team. It takes a lot of heart for those guys to fight and stick up for their teammates. But when fans see a bloody face as a badge of honor without stopping to think that it’s going to take a bunch of sutures to close the wounds and lots of painkillers after. I think I read once that the Bruins have 3 team dentists. . . And as I type this, a banner ad keeps flashing photos of bloodied hockey players. Look, PJ Stock is waving after a fight and he looks just like Leatherface!

I know I’m soapboxing, but I think once you become a hockey fan you just accept the gore as part of the game without questioning it.

I was going to point these things out, but you beat me to it! That’s got to be the most lopsided trade ever, when all is said and done.

Future considerations was a 1st and Simon btw.

Forsberg alone…

Thibault implicated in Roy’s trade.

Ricci brought Tanguay (via 1st rd SJ pick)

Hextall brought Deadmarsh (via 1st rd NYI pick)…implicated in Rob Blake’s trade.

This trade still benificial to Colorado more then 10 years later…

Players make money for fighting…and they don’t have to fight if they don’t want to.

It was probably too late for Moore to let up, and the hit was made worse by Naslund reaching for the puck. It was just a freak thing, but Moore was just making a hit.

I’m not saying that it shouldn’t be a rough game, because it is. But it should be along the lines of the NFL, where hitting is part of the game, but you take your hit, get up and get back to the GAME. There’s no stupid payback…Fighting might be fun to see live, but on TV its pointless and slows the game down. And no one goes to an NHL game to see fights, they go to see hockey, and they’d still go without fighting.

Quote at top of article:

if you dont liek hockey the way it is just dont watch it and shut up.

Phrase to repeat like scene from Brady Bunch:

He punched him in the head from behind.

Thank you

I have a Mario book that’s got them all, but I don’t have it with me right now, so I can’t remember them, but the stasny’s was one, the any three players was any three except like one guy maybe, and one team offered all it’s draft picks….there were probably more, all for that number one spot.

Do you think anyone would trade the number 1 this year?? I mean, Ovechkin is such a consesus sure thing, do you think that pick could be had for anything?

Are you happy that Cam Neely had to retire 10 years too early? Did you like it when Bryan Berard lost his eyesight in one eye? As for the Bertuzzi incident, repeat this phrase out loud like it’s a scene from the Brady Bunch:

When I tell people that I’m a hockey fan, I’d like people to think of Jim Craig draped in the American flag on the Olympic podium or Ray Bourque finally hoisting the Stanley Cup, not Todd Bertuzzi, not Marty McSorley, not Kyle McLaren putting another player in the hospital because their emotions got the better of them and they did something really stupid.

By the way, they’d never find a banana big enough for Zdeno Chara to use.
