I don't have a problem with either suspension. Now I wonder if the refs and/or the league does anything about the hits that occur every time a pass is made and the checking player follows thru on a hit well after the puck is gone (basically every time a defenceman comes back and moves the puck up).
Prusts hit was late but I think there are at least 10 hits per game, either from behind or late (usually on defencemen) that are not called. And Prusts hit was exactly what Scott Stevens did on every hit he ever threw, late and high, yet everyone thinks Stevens was some great bodychecker. Both are goons.
