If the league is going to step in and protect the players then you have to defend yourself and defend your team yourself.

It' not ok to use a stick as a weapon because someone punched you in a scrum. Can't allow it.
I understand the anger with Parros, but let's not forget how many of similarly dirty plays Matthew Tkachuk is in the middle of. Didn't he just recently land on a goalie's head by "accident" ? And I do recognize that Wilson's punch was nothing accidental. There are hundreds of similar plays every season. I mean Crosby's rumble the other day is not THAT much different. But it's Sid the Kid so the media is ok with it, a star protecting himself. Next time McD throws an elbow in somebody's head he will get praise as a frustrated star that the league doesn't protect.
