I have seen things a lot worse happen on an ice rink than what Bertuzzi did...in reality all he did was sucker punch a guy from behind...granted it is a cheap thing to do and it is unfortunate the way things turned out...but I dont consider that any worse than a guy jumping on another players back and using his stick to repeatedly cross check him from behind, a guy throwing his stick at another player which then hit him in the face breaking the guy's eye socket (heard his eye was kinda hanging out), or one playing picking up a stick and swinging it at another playing (baseball style) during a fight. As far as I know no criminal charges were brought in any of these cases, and in my opinion the court system needs to stay out of professional sports (at least in on the field/court/rink affairs) unless they are gonna start charging football players for battery after every play (afterall hitting another person is a crime).
