Just because it happened in the violent game of hockey doesn't mean that it's acceptable in anyway. It gave Hockey another black eye and has every media type scrutinizing the sport we all love. I agree with the suspension and if the Canadian criminal justice system finds that this was premeditated, then in my opinon he should pay the price. Maybe then it'll keep other players from bloodying the sport again.

Yes I would feel the same. I am not talking out of my ass here just because I am not related to Steve Moore. No matter what some of you want to believe, incidents like this happen in hockey. It is all part of the consequences of playing the sport. I'm not saying it is good or right, but it happens. Moore knows that, and his family should be well aware of it.
