There's no place for this thread to go but down......so here's my .02
The incident was pretty cheap, Moore's play on Naslund was not penalized, nor on the replays did it look like it should've been. He then fought Cooke, done deal. Bert took it too far, and for a guy as "tough" as everyone claims he is, he could've waited to fight him rather than attempting to take his head off....give him another 20 games I say, or at least hold a press conference to answer questions to maybe attempt to justify why he should be allowed back, instead of hiding behind Gretzky's press conference and hoping no one noticed.
And if you want to compare it to the Mcsorley "incident", he was charged with assault and never played in the NHL again(sure, he was about done anyways" but...if you look at the footage, Mcsorley didn't attempt to take Brashear's head off, merely get his attention. Had Brash had his helmet done up properly, he would've been able to get up and pummel Marty, instead of bottling up his rage and taking it out on some poor security guard at his apartment later on.
