NHL forward Todd Bertuzzi's infamous on-ice attack on former player Steve Moore may have been ordered by former Vancouver Canucks coach Marc Crawford, CBC's The National reported Wednesday.
Bertuzzi, then with the Canucks attacked Colorado forward Moore from behind during the third period of a March 8, 2004 game, driving Moore's head into the ice.
