I could be wrong but I thought players were only suspended if they pulled out of the all-star weekend entirely. I thought there were cases were players felt sick/injured so they didn't play in the game itself, but still showed up for all the events...so they weren't suspended. If that's true, I don't see how anyone could complain that Toews or Ovechkin are getting suspended 1 game for skipping the events. It's clear they just want no part of it and would rather the vacation.
