Dumb punishment. If you are going to suspend him he has to get some regular season games.
Probably going to be a unpopular opinion but I don't think it was really a sucker punch. To me a sucker punch is when you hit someone that isn't expecting it. Ekblad was dumb to just stand there with his hands at his sides grinning. I'm not saying he had to drop the gloves, but Jesus man protect yourself. Ekblad slashes and cross checks a lot he gets under his opponents skin. If he's going to play like that he has to be smarter in these situations.
