No I'm talking about the one that happened after that one. I forget who it was but I think it was Victor Hedman? Hit Crosby from behind with his hands directed right to the back of his head and forcing him into the glass.
I agree that all malicious head shots should be suspended, but I disagree on the point that if the Smid hit happened to Crosby it would have been a long suspension. I believe the result would remain the same, based on past evidence
