"The Incident"
During a March 8, 2004, game, Bertuzzi punched Steve Moore from behind, leaving him with a concussion and three fractured vertebrae. Since the act was considered deliberate by the NHL, Bertuzzi was immediately suspended indefinitely. He was unable to play internationally during the 2004-2005 NHL lockout, then reinstated prior the 2005-2006 season. In addition to the suspension and fines from the league, Bertuzzi faced criminal charges in Canada for assault. He pleaded guilty in a plea deal that after completion of one year probation, would wipe the incident from his criminal record. Moore has since sued Bertuzzi and the league for lost wages, as he has not played professionally since the injury. The civil case is still in court as of December 2008.Former Teams
