I’m not a hockey fan, probably because I don’t like boxing either.
But hearing about the hit that the Vancouver Canuck’s Todd Bertuzzi put on Steve Moore of the Colorado Avalance forced me to remember just one of the reasons why I decided that sports writing was not for me any longer.
A broken neck? Deep facial lacerations? Had that been on the street, Bertuzzi would be behind bars playing hide the puck with some 300-pound gorilla.
Come on guys. It’s a game.
