The two arguments to defend the positions seem to be:
1. There’s no consistency from the NHL. I agree, sign me up, but doesn’t make Gio innocent.
2. Gio’s knee was a different kind of knee that isn’t a bad knee so doesn’t qualify in the same bucket as previously suspended knees. I guess it’s devatable, but I don’t buy it and this one is making us look like a bunch of homers.

I think the vast majority of those frustrated are upset with the inconsistency, not with the suspension to Giordano. Had Dumba also gotten a couple, there would be a lot less anger here.
