My thoughts, he’s gonna get something. He attacked an unwilling to fight player aggressively and kept hitting him aiming to the back of his head with a clear intent to injure. I actually do accept and understand tolerance to mutually-accepted fighting in NHL. The game is very physical and emotions run high. Fighting sometimes relieves the steam built up in a game skewed by bad reffing and predatory behaviour (goons trying to hurt star players, for one example). Kassian’s attack was borderline criminal. After all concussion-related issues, NHL must make a strong statement by handing a solid punishment. 3 to 5 games would be appropriate, I think.
