Weird. Lomberg got a suspension in a similar situation.

Personally, I don’t think Goodrow deserves a suspension. By the book he has earned it, but this wasn’t a premeditated attack like Lomberg. It was entirely reactionary and to a marginal hit. The fight was secondary to the hit in that particular play, whereas Lomberg’s fight was the sole incident of that isolated play.
At least that’s how I rationalize it. ‘Reactionary-instigator’ vs ‘Targetted-instigator’. Of course, almost all instigators are a reaction to SOMETHING, but the time in between makes the difference in my mind.
