That's Todd Bertuzzi for you. Touted as the leagues best power forward, as well as the whiniest player in the league.
A broken neck, while serious, can still heal in a relatively short amount of time. I played hockey with somebody who broke his neck and he came back and was playing like he was before.
It's hard to tell how Moore actually broke his neck...was it the actual punch to the back on the head, the 250-pound Bertuzzi falling on him, or the four or five other 200 lbs. + guys dogpiling, with Moore at the bottom.
He'll likely get suspended for the end of the season, including playoffs (which the Canucks won't do as good in now...Bertuzzi is their second best player).
This was Bertuzzi's typical cheap-ass way at getting back at Moore. The last time the Avs and Nucks played, Moore gave (in my opinion) the best player in the NHL, Markus Naslund, a cheapshot which resulted in a concussion and him missing three games (Moore didn't get even get a penalty). I'm not sticking up for Bertuzzi, though...that punch really was inexcusable.
