Pretty sure players have been. Probably because they're not all wearing microphones broadcast for all the fans to hear. But they are all on TV.
The same reason a player will get suspended for flipping someone off, but not for telling them to go f*** themselves.

It's not about it being a big deal. I doubt Giordano or the Flames actually care. It's about the NHL having some semblance of consistency. If you're going to suspend other players for doing it, you have to suspend all players who do it.
