I personally think both were fine hits.

I personally felt like Gaudreau was already engaged with another player when Burrowes came in and smashed him, where Ferland hit the guy on the run... That whole sequence didn't bother me nearly as much as the Hamhuis hit on Bennett or Bieksa's assault on Ferland. Those plays should have been looked at.
If player A drops his gloves and starts feeding player B shots 4 or 5 times before player B even drops his mitts, that to me is a textbook definition of "instigating". But I digress... I'm done trying to explain the NHL's discipline system... It's a complete crap shoot.
