I'm surprised people are going easy on Neal. That wasn't a minor 2-5 game suspension incident to me. That was one of the worst incidents I've seen in years.
He purposefully stuck his knee out and kneed Marchand in the head, while he was in a terribly vulnerable position. That's at least an 8 game suspension in my eyes. It probably won't be because of the lack of injury, but good lord, what a blatant disregard for a fellow player's career.
