I completely disagree with the ruling.
- no history (fines or warnings)
- no injury
This really should have been a fine as a first time offender, and that Doughty played the remainder of the game.
Had this been at least his 2nd or 3rd offence, I could agree with it. AC's video of Hall's elbow on Kassian I thought was indeed much worse, and it received nothing? This is why it is difficult to take the NHL's supplementary discipline system seriously.
