It wasn't that bad. Bertuzzi got "lucky", caught him in the temple, and knocked him out. The pile on is probably what broke his vertebra. These kind of things (sucker punches, guys hitting people from behind..etc) happen all the time in hockey it's just unfortunate that the guy got seriously injured. Hockey is a violent sport by nature. Now Bertuzzi is gonna take all the heat for it for a little while. It happens. The heat will die out until somebody else gets hurt then the batton will get passed to the next scapegoat.
