As I have said before the only issue I have is that it came after a big hit and if you really wanted to take it to legal avenues a case can be made that it can't be known if he was truly of sane mind when he committed it. That said the NHL is within it's rights to suspend him for his actions regardless.

Oh i agree that the league has been consistently inconsistent and we can't do anything real to stop it, but why participate in a fan forum if we can't discuss why thing piss us off? I also agree that it is a suspendible play, but its just frustrating to see 20 games when there is a question over intention when something (carcillo) was not as vicious looking but 100% intentional is only 6 games. My thoughts are this should be 10 games.
