I have never experienced that kind of of situation, so I personally wouldn't be qualified to judge. I assume the people in charge of player safety and making the call will have the experience to know better than I do.
I tend to think because the refs reviewed it and still called it a major and game misconduct, that player safety will see it the same way and a suspension will come down. The player didn't seem to protest when he was kicked out making me think he felt guilty.

I don't know if it was intentional, but it was reckless and dumb. Anaheim player clearly going into the hit with his knee forward and then makes a small move into Zary immediately before the hit.
