A lot of the comments on here are eerily similar to Canucks fans defending Bertuzzi when he hit Moore. Granted, the outcome was more drastic, but the logic was the same. Moore was running around being a punk, crashing the goalie and eventually was sucker punched for it.
The only thing separating this event from that one is that this one happened more in the spur of the moment and didn't have the lengthy premeditation and the end results were not as bad (thankfully). But those factors are also why it is only a 2 game suspension and not a 40 game.

You obviously know very little about the Moore incident. It was retribution for a hit on Naslund the previous game between the Avs and Canucks. A hit which was ruled clean by the league and for which Moore had already "paid the price" by fighting Matt Cooke. So there's a difference in the premeditation, the severity, and the original play.
