INJURED COLORADO AVALANCHE FORWARD STEVE MOORE RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL

DENVER -- Colorado forward Steve Moore has been released from hospital, two weeks after being attacked by Canucks star Todd Bertuzzi in a game in Vancouver.

Moore is expected to wear a neck brace for six to 12 weeks and his physical therapy will begin after he recovers from his neck injury and concussion. Avalanche doctor Andrew Parker said it remains uncertain whether Moore will able to return to hockey.

Moore, 25, was released from a Denver-area hospital late Monday.

Moore ended up with three fractured vertebrae -- two to cervical vertebrae and a fracture of the transverse process in a thoracic vertebra -- facial cuts, significant post-concussion symptoms and significant amnesia after he was attacked from behind by Bertuzzi March 8 at GM Place.

Nerves in the neck area were also stretched by the blow.

Bertuzzi was suspended for the rest of the season and playoffs, and will have to apply for reinstatement before next season.

I agree it's good to hear he's recovering. Just to be clear what pisses me off is how his injuries have been blown so far out of context. I still hear people talking about how he broke his neck and so on... HE HAS WHIP LASH!!

he probably won't be able to lace skates and get on the ice till at least a full year.

If he has to wear the neck brace for the whole 12 weeks or 2 months. Than go through therapy. He will also have to endure massive rehabilitation for his muscles, after the extensive amount of time he is gonna be using for healing his neck.

but ya to make it fair they better re-instate bertuzzi next season. I see no reaosn why not, though moore won't be in game shape yet

Are you a doctor or is this evaluation based on medical information?

i think kenji is just speaking from cases we see in the NHL. It's pretty common sense actually if you think about it.

No actually it's not common sense (making a medical diagnosis that is).

Please tell me this how does this affect you regardless. Are you a relative of Steve Moore?

Does what I say really affect you, or Steve Moore or anyone else's daily life??

I made an assumption and people make them everyday. It doesn't change anything, and I am just gonna leave it at that.

No i base my judgement from what I read, what I hear and from what I can come up with myself together, and unlike alot of people I have my own opinions about things like this.
