Without Mike Illitch at the helm, the Wings don’t have that league office goodwill anymore. 10 years ago with Illitch there and hands on as he was, that’s 0 games as far as a suspension, with some weak excuse about having the linesman have the player move to the bench to prevent further issues, but not officially on the bench, so him jumping back on the ice was less offensive.... or something like that.

But, because the league struggled so mightily with following their own rule book in this case, expect MT to get a harshly unfair sentence to even things up a bit.
