Blatant headshot with an elbow by someone with a history do suspensions, during that type of game? Yeah I think that's suspendable. Just because Conacher wasn't injured doesn't mean it wasn't vicious, and over the line.
If that was Chris Neil doing the same thing he would have got a game. But, MacLean and the Sens aren't classless whiners like the Habs. They didn't overreact like Montreal did, which was the reason Gryba was given two games for a clean hit.
Gotta love Boruque taking a cheapshot at a 5"8 rookie as well. Hopefully he tries that on someone bigger like Chris Neil next game.
