I'm not a hockey fan...I could care less...I'm from New England and the Bruins suck!...
But...just from an outsider's viewpoint I don't think suing a person that sucker punched you, subsequently led to your broken neck/end of career, for lost wages for the rest of said career is unreasonable at all. People sue for lost wages all the time...the fact that it's 19 million is moot...that's up to the courts to decide.
And as for forgiving the guy...being a pro guitarist, if someone broke my hands that left me unable to play/make a living, you bet I wouldn't be all "forgiving" and probably want to shove a red hot poker straight up the guy's @ss...and sue the bastard for every penny I could get!

I hope you meant it was wrong on Zimmers part. What the hell is a 72 year old man doing charging a player and what was he planning on doing once he got to him? Pedro could've made that much worse but he chose to diffuse the situation. The only thing Zimmer hurt that day was his credibility and ego. I'm pretty sure he lost his job after that season.

I was in the middle of a recording session when this happened. Both me and the band were big Red Sox fans and they had the game on in the lounge. We all stopped tracking when the brawl broke out. You must admit, Pedro did the best he could have in that situation. He could have stood there and punched him in the face but he didn't...when a Butterball is running at you the best you can do is "o-lay" him.
