As mentioned, I think he’s talked his way into this suspension, in his previous suspensions. The hit on Debrusk was a lot worse.
But on that, he probably said that he meant to hit lower but Debrusk moved and nothing he could do. He probably used a similar argument here and gets no benefit of the doubt...as they do keep notes of previous comments. The “woe is me” argument may work once, it won’t work twice or thrice.
Goes to show he hasn’t learned his lesson as his intent is and has been malicious, and he’s trying to dupe the DOPS, so 8 games it is.
Good.
