I think it should be a game, mainly for the reasons I laid out in the GT thread. I really believe hits from behind are still one of the most dangerous plays you could do on the ice, and this hit showed how even a small hit from one of the smallest players in the entire league can do damage, because of how dangerous the hit is. Especially when the players are 3 feet out from the boards, you just can't hit a guy there when his numbers are facing you.
This hit was not a "bad" hit from behind at all, it wasn't malicious and the result was mainly accidental, but it should still be suspended because it's dangerous.
