Quite honestly, this happens somewhat frequently in scrums and even in my beer league. Sure it's comparable to the Hunter play, but no one was hurt this time. And yes, the effects of a play do matter. Hunter was also a repeat offending goon, that the NHL wanted to make an example of.
3-5 games seems about right here. |
It's worse then the Anderson 4 game suspension, no?
