Police Are Investigating Hit by Bertuzzi on Avalanche Player:
"Moore was at the center of a controversy a month ago after delivering a questionable blow to Vancouver's captain, Markus Naslund, who led the league in scoring at the time. No penalty was called, but Naslund, who was struck in the head, missed three games with a concussion. At the time, Bertuzzi called Moore a punk and said he was glad the teams had two games remaining.
Vancouver's Brad May said of Moore after that game: 'There's definitely a bounty on his head. Clean hit or not, that's our best player and you respond. It's going to be fun when we get him.' May later said his comments were tongue-in-cheek."

Yeah right! Why don't people stand by what they said anymore? He meant it when he said it. He would have still meant it had Moore not been severely injured. Just stick to your original story and apologize that things got out of hand.

I feel terrible for Bertuzzi. But I feel even more terrible for Moore. News in Denver is that he will be transported to Craig Hospital, a hospital which specializes in spinal cord injuries.

Currently a high school girl from our town is in this same hospital. She was in a single car roll-over accident and was thrown from the vehicle. She broke to of her vertebrae and suffered severe spinal cord damage. She has lost the use of her legs and may never walk again.

Hopefully the skilled people at Craig Hospital will be able to help her. Pray that God would heal Erin.
