If there is an intent to injure or the player's conduct is "making a travesty of the game" the ref should give a Match Penalty or Gross Misconduct. These penalties give a longer suspension.

I'd agree with pretty much everything you said, except for the part about not every penalty able to be a 5+GM. As far as the rule book reads, any penalty where there's an injury, you've got the ability to up it from a deuce to 5+GM. That whole "at the discretion of the referee" stuff haha.
