So Moore is going after Todd for a few Million dollars to get back at him for that sucker punch.
I think the punch was wrong, but the response has been even more so. How many times has Totonto hero Tie Domi given a guy a shot while he was running scared? How many times did it happen that some chippy cocky player got smoked for being so.
It happens every game. What doesn't happen is a 200 some pound tough guy fall to the ice in a heap with a spinal cord injury. That was a horrible thing to see, and even worse when Bert dropped doewn on him and gave him a couple more. I honestly don't think he knew Steve was out or injured.
In any case he was penalized and I agree that gunning for a guy because he hit one of yours a few games ago is a bad thing, but filing a lawsuit with (among one of its) intentions to distract from one of the most important experiences in a hockey players' life is also bad.
I hate that Steve was injured so badly, I hate that he skated away rather than face Bertuzzi, I hate that Bertuzzi was so gutless as to sucker punch him, but I hate that Moore will never let this go if for no other reason than for financial gain.
Kinda makes you wanna punch him in the head, but not from where he can see me... he'd kill me.

Amen Brother Jim!
Not condoning anything, but if Moore stands up to Bertuzzi and settles it once and for all when he first gets challenged, none of this happens. Moore will never play again, even if his injuries heal. No team will take a chance on a borderline 4th line player that broke the code and didnt keep it at the rink. At least that's how big Geo sees it.
No doubt, he never would have made 18 million playing anyways.
