The reaction of the player? So, should all the penalties where players stick their hands up showing "I didn't mean to!" not be penalties either?
I agree with your second sentence, there is a difference. Gio's looked more like the latter than the former if you take his reaction out of it.
And another thing worth pointing out: putting pucks into the stands endangers spectators. That's why the nets are there, and that's probably a significant reason why the NHL doesn't want to do anything that might mean more pucks ending up flying towards spectators.
