No, they don't. That second cross check that knocked him out for 4-6 weeks definitely does not happen every playoff game. The first one, I might agree with, the second one was definitely excessive and cheap, and from behind. The league really dropped the ball on this one. A phone hearing for that play is ridiculous. And they didn't even give him the maximum amount of games they could have. Just a really poor job by the league, there's really no incentive for players not to make that play once in while if it's going to knock a rival player out for a month or two.
