Byfuglien reacted to a vicious slash on his goaltender. You either want a response to to that slash, or you don't.
I want a response, and there are no half measures.
I doubt Byfuglien meant to almost break Miller's neck, but you don't get to respond only a little bit. You either do respond, or you don't.
That said, he has to be suspended - and if the Jets were my team I would be OK with both the reaction to the attack on my goaltender, and the suspension that went with the retaliation.
