You gotta take off your homer glasses. That was not intentional, Kunitz has never been a dirty player by any stretch as I recall, and truly if you start suspending or issuing fines for plays like that you set a terrible precedent.
And they thinking is you punish the player because he doesn’t get to play the rest of the game. The fines don’t cost the players more than an expensive night out and are hardly noticeable to a vet like Kunitz.
