IMO, the league puts far too much weight on the outcome of any incident as opposed to the intent and follow through of a violation. "I didn't hurt anyone when I robbed that liquor store with a gun, so I shouldn't be charged with armed robbery."
Basically it's my opinion that 4 games is an absolute joke.

yeah well thats how it is in hockey right now. if you slash a stick and it breaks, penalty. if it doenst, your good.
slash a guy and he's cut? 4 mins. no cut? 2 mins.
tonight if jackman was taken off on a stretcher after the dirty boarding call bolig would likely be looking at a suspension. like it or not, in hockey, result matters as much as intent.
again i dont take issue with the length of suspension, just that toffoli got to walk as do so many others. there's just zero consistency.
