aside from the incident, i never knew bertuzzi had "problems". thats all im saying. people talk about him now like he was a notorious baby eater prior to the incident. from what ive seen, he has been a gracious guy. he snapped, and he is paying for it. you can argue about what the punishment shouldve been and all that (youd probably be right), but in truth his career is going down the toilet, and its hard to argue the incident isnt the cause. he hasnt been the same since.
im just saying its ridiculous to bring up bertuzzi every time you want to compare an attitude problem to an older player. bertuzzi's biggest problem was he was too nice a guy and they had to beat him with a stick to play tough. he never had an attitude or "anger" problem. he was a guy that learned to be a powerforward after the islanders gave up on him. he had horrible judgement one night. a lot of people have bad moments. many people get away with them, bertuzzi didnt.
