I thought that despite going to Harvard, he was an intelligent hockey player.

Even handling the schedule Moore's been better.
75 games in 03-04 - AHL 70 games - NHL 5 games
78 games in 04-05 - AHL
82 games in 05-06 - NHL
40 games this year - on pace for 80
Betts
20 games in 03-04 - NHL - No AHL games
16 games in 04-05 - AHL
66 games in 05-06 - NHL
44 games this year - on pace for a full season
Even if Moore stopped today he'd have almost 100 more games played than Betts and that's assuming that Betts plays a full season this year
Currently over the same time period Moore has played in 275 games and Betts has played in 146 games.
