The fact that he faced no supplemental discipline reinforces that notion. Funny that the Sportsnet panel kept trying to claim it was on par with the major elbowing suspensions we've seen this year already... larf.
That's fair, but Alberts has still missed almost a month of hockey from the hit.

My point is more that McGrattan and Westgarth following The Code™doesn't mean there aren't risks in sending out skill players against them to start a game where they've been given the task to set a physical tone.
