According to the Denver Post, former Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore has filed a lawsuit related to injuries he suffered after being attacked by Vancouver Canucks' forward Todd Bertuzzi in a game last March.
The lawsuit is not a surprise, but the list of defendants and the venue for filing are interesting. Although the game in question was in Vancouver, Moore filed the suit in Denver District Court, citing Colorado's "Long-Arm Statute," and claiming that the attack was prompted by events that occurred during a February 16 game in Denver.
According to the Post, the list of defendants includes Bertuzzi, Canucks forward Brad May, Canucks coach Marc Crawford, former Vancouver general manager Brian Burke, plus the Canucks and the partnership that owns the team.
The National Hockey League, however, was not included among the defendants.
Moore is being represented by Denver attorney Lee Foreman, who is part of the same firm that recently defended Lakers guard Kobe Bryant in in Colorado, and Boulder attorney John Purvis.
The suit apparently asked for damages, but didn't specify an actual dollar amount.
Moore suffered a broken neck, a concussion and facial injuries after being jumped from behind by Bertuzzi and crashing to the ice.
Currently a free agent, Moore has not yet been able to exercise, the lawsuit states.
Gee, didn't see that comin

Honestly, the media have made me dislike Moore.....not him or his actions against Bertuzzi. Bertuzzi is not the big, bad axe murder the media make him out to be, nor is Moore the saintly victim who came an inch away from death, like the media love to imply
