GIVE ME A BREAK!! What a loser!!!
Bertuzzi puts Crawford on legal notice
Todd Bertuzzi went on the legal offensive to defend his actions in the 2004 on-ice attack against Colorado's Steve Moore, alleging his then-coach Marc Crawford should be held partially responsible for the incident the Los Angeles Times reported.
Bertuzzi, formerly with the Vancouver Canucks and now with the Ducks, filed what is called a third-party notice in Ontario Superior Court in Canada. He has not sued Crawford, as some reports have suggested. Crawford now coaches the Kings. Bertuzzi received widespread condemnation throughout North America for hitting Moore from behind in that game on March 8, 2004, and effectively ending Moore's playing career. Moore, who suffered a broken neck and a concussion, is suing Bertuzzi for $38 million.
Bertuzzi has previously alleged that Crawford said Moore must "pay the price" to Vancouver players in the dressing room in response to Moore's knocking out Canucks captain Markus Naslund with a open-ice hit in a previous meeting. According to documents filed March 3 and obtained by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. on Friday, Bertuzzi also alleges that Crawford "failed to exercise control over and caution his players against physical aggression toward Moore when he knew or ought to have known that this was likely to result in injury to Moore

That's as bad as getting drunk at a bar then suing the bar owner and/or bartender because he got in a car crash.
