I don't know but I'd say punching a guy while his gloves are still on is without warning. Usually there's face washes in scrums but a straight up punch while the other guys gloves are still on? That rarely happens and is a sucker punch. Every media outlet reporting on it called it a sucker punch. Here one of many articles calling it a sucker punch.

You think if Kesler connected with Frolik with his attempted sucker punch, it wouldn't be considered a sucker punch? How in any way would Frolik know Kesler was going to start throwing punches? Its NHL code not to punch someone without their gloves off. That is most definitely a sucker punch.
