oh and i do agree with you Giguer that they should sign players with heart and want to play, as soon as some players (not all) get the big contracts they stop trying. IMO

Getting rid of fighting in hockey is a horrible idea and will never happen. It's part of the sport and always has been.
As far as the Bertuzzi situation ..... fighting had absolutely nothing to do with what Bert did. Steve Moore had already fought that game , and Bert just gave him a cheap shot , nothing more. Both coaches were as much to blame. Neither Bertuzzi or Moore should have been on the ice at that point. The score was 9-2 for Colorado with like 2 minutes left. No reason for a goon and a star player to be out there.
