Come on man, that was not worse than Petterson, that is just silly to say. You have to take the Flames fan bias out of the situation when you're evaluating it.
McAvoy made every attempt to hit him square in the chest first and foremost. If Johnny was a little taller this is a complete non-issue. If you're suspending the guy because of this hit, contact might as well just be removed from the game imho.
