Doesnt matter whether or not someone is leaking or limping.
Its all about the intent, not the result.
But that would fall under common sense, and that is far much to ask in this day and age.

Common sense? Not one iota? Shoul driving while impaired have the same penalty as dangerous driving causing death? Of course intent matters but consequences of one's misdeeds should always factor into punishment. Especially when looking at reckless rather than deliberately malicious hockey plays.
Glad he escaped suspension though. In my view, 5 and a game was sufficient.
