Agree but the league can't just decide. Minimum/Maximum suspensions are negotiated with the NHLPA. I am sure the league would suspend for longer just to improve their image but the players would grieve all suspensions. The league doesn't tell the players to hit each other in the head or from behind, that is the players choice.
