Haha really? It should be clear from my responses in this thread that I place very little weight on the pronouncements of the NHL's department of player safety. Whether they get it right in any particular case is a coin flip proposition... not necessarily because they're incompetent (although many rulings would suggest they're either that or just lazy), but because their priority isn't really player safety or rule enforcement, it's NHL brand image.
Looking at the responses on Twitter it would seem I'm not alone in my skepticism; although it's possible that those are all Canucks fans and therefore their opinions should be immediately dismissed regardless of content.
The funny thing here is that I agree with everyone that it wasn't suspendable, and have throughout... just for a different reason.
