I am not so sure Berschmoozi will get suspended, and I won't be angry if he is not. Dumb decision to turn and make the hit skating backward, but I don't think he meant to drill Johnson's head the way he did. I guess we have to leave it to the "experts". |
It was a fun game to watch even if the Wing's lost. We did get a point at least.
On the possibility of a suspension...

DETROIT -- Todd Bertuzzi will not be suspended for his hit to the head against Chicago's Ryan Johnson on Monday, the Detroit Red Wings confirmed today.
Bertuzzi received a five-minute penalty for elbowing and was ejected from the game at 5:17 of the first period.
"I don’t think it was anything malicious,'' Johnson said. "He was very apologetic, came walking right in here and said ‘Sorry’ as soon as it happened.''

I know Bert doesn't have a great reputation. All I can say is since he's been in Detroit, I haven't seen him do anything to intentionally hurt someone; aka no cheapshots. I'm not saying 100% for certain, but in the many games I've seen, he's been a model citizen.
