Well Bert got a mere slap on the wrist. 13 games and a few hundred grand lost. Wow.
The system used in this league for punishing infractions on the ice is a joke. Hunter attacks Turgeon years ago, and gets 21 games for taking him out. Turgeon came back in less then 3 weeks. And therein lies my major problem with this whole ordeal. The fact the league will severely punish a player with less name value as compared to a marquee player. Happens all of the time.
If that injury was caused by any player without name value..and not some marquee player like Bert, the punishment would have been much more severe.
Bert got the star treatment, plain and simple.
