^^Makes perfect sense to base the penalty on the result. From a fan perspective the blood and guts looks like fun, I suggest you have a look at the Good Friday Massacre back in 1984(believe me i enjoyed watching that!) for how things were handled in those days.
For the player, its not so much fun.

Its pretty hard to interpret the current NHL rules on what is a legal hit but there you have it from Shanahan: "Gryba makes Eller's head the principal point of contact, causing a serious injury..." That sounds pretty clear cut to me. Of course the fan boards always lineup on what team you like. I'll stick with Montreal on this one.
