Steve Moore will never be the same. The incident happened in the NHL on the commissioners watch. That suggests for a harsher penalty by the NHL for conduct that is unbecoming to the game.
The courts figured the cost of the pain and financial loss sufferered by Moore at the hands of Bert was in the millions. Bert got a 20 game suspension, with the NHL citing the emotion strain on his family.
Now the NHL turns around and gives Voynov a defacto 6 year suspension. The NHL doesn't consider the toll such a large suspension has on his family - which is huge from a financial and emotional perspective.
Watson got 18 games for domestic violence. Voynov got multiple years...
It makes no sense. What am I missing? How is a suspension this large justified - is it because he went to play in Russia?

Bertuzzi did something on the ice. Obviously went beyond the rules of the game but it was still within a different set of circumstances.
Watson is alleged to have pushed his partner causing red marks on her chest.
Voynov is alleged to have punched his partner in the face, put her head into a television, and kicked her while she was on the ground.
Sure maybe it is because he went to Russia, I think it is because he abused his partner pretty horrifically.
