Let me be clear, I think what Nyquist did was wrong and he deserves a good suspension. My point wasn't to justify his actions.
But Spurg was lazy. He didn't even dig for the puck. He just cross checks Nyquist in the numbers as soon as Nyquist touches it. And if Nyquist turns around and clobbers Spurgs face in with his bare hands, nobody bats an eye lid. Spurg could have a broken cheek-bone and nose from Nyquist punching his face and its OK, but a stick whip which leads to no injury is too far? My point is only to ask the questions.
