The notion that certain players who aren't as good at hockey should be suspended for longer for the same infraction than guys who are stars is precisely what's wrong - well, one of many things wrong - with NHL supplemental discipline.

No it's definitely a good thing that the crappy hockey players get suspended for longer as 90% of the time when an incident like this occurs, its some plug inflicting damage on a star.
Most star players rarely even hit let alone ignore the puck in order to annihilate someone.
