To me, they are very similar cases. Both deserve a jail time. It sounds like one will get it, and the celebrity is allowed to continue playing hockey without missing a beat.
Even McTavish spent his year behind bars.

The fact that you continue to compare this to the Dany Heatley thing is surprising, given the fact that it's been covered already in this thread, and explained completely why it is a different situation.
Dan Snyder wasn't sitting in a different vehicle at a red light while Dany Heatley drove a much larger vehicle into him. Snyder was a presumably willing participant in the thrill of going fast with a friend, and Dany lost control. He also registered almost no alcohol content.
