I don't understand why everyone freaked out over that hit. He got his hands up a little high, but I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as most fans seems to think it was.

I thought a 2 minute penalty was all it warranted.

For example, Byfuglien's cross-check on Miller today was, in my mind, several orders of magnitude worse than Ritchie's hit on Monahan.
