I didn't realize Benn was such a nasty dirty player. That poking Mangiapane in the face is just so dangerous and so intentional that it deserves a suspension and not a fine, if that's the "maximum" the NHL can do, then there is something wrong. What would have happened if he poked him in the eye and caused a real serious injury, maybe even career ending - it's such a delicate area to be jabbing your stick there on a defenseless player. This, imo, is worse than a dirty hit because a player was trying to live on the edge of the rules and got a little high or off the mark, that at least would have been in the heat of play, this was during a stoppage with the intent to aggravate or injury a defenseless player pinned down by the play.
It takes a really BIG man to hit a player in the face with your stick when he's pinned down - and if the NHL won't suspend him, then this is why players and teammates feel the need to take matters into their own hands - you would think the NHL would learn this lesson, but once a game is out of hand, I expect Lucic to blast him.
