Surprised it was so light. I thought that because it was so similar to such a recent suspension (poking a player with a stick while on/off the ice) that they would dish out a harsher penalty. Basically they're saying, "it's an almost identical incident, so we'll give out an identical penalty. We don't care about repeat offenses."
I'm not mad as a Flames fan, but as someone who wants the league to keep a lid on repeat offenders, no matter what team they play for, this decision sort of bugs me. Not a lot, but a little.
