This seems much worse to me and I was certainly not thinking Bourque deserved to miss a few games afterwards. Although when you hear Pierre Maguire state that not everything in Kane's head seems to be connected it really does show how ignorant many were (including me) about the danger of concussions.
I guess I just see the Petterson hit differently than some here. Descriptions like "slammed his head into the ice" just don't fit what I am actually seeing in the play. Looks like a roughing penalty or a play that happens 10 times a game in the playoffs.
Honestly, I thought the Landeskog hit on Andersson was worse and I don't understand why the DoPS isn't looking at that one. If Petterson got hit by the Landeskog shot he would be worse off imo.
