Split second thing in the course of full-speed play where a few inches and milliseconds make a huge difference
vs.
After the whistle unnecessary BS that was still pretty darn dangerous
I don't mind this suspension at all, but I do think it's way out of whack compared to a lot of other stuff.
Personally, I'm a little more forgiving of full-speed incidents than slower ones involving more deliberate actions (say McDonagh on Duclair, Wilson after the whistle, or Kassian kicking, etc.). I know things happen fast, but the latter are more binary do vs. don't, whereas Kadri throwing a hit there wasn't the problem, but that he didn't make sure to find torso.
