I think "spear" is being used a little liberally here. I would call that a tap. I understand the argument for a suspension because of the second slash, but I think you have to take the velocity and height of the slash into account. IMO, that's a slashing minor and nothing else. Call it cowardly all you want, but from my view there was no real intent to injure. Clarkson should be the only one receiving a suspension.
