At least the League got it right. Too bad the on ice officials blew it.

I expected 2 games - given some of the stuff I've seen that gets nothing. (Gryba on Anisimov) (Tropp on Borowiecki) and others - but so be it. Now if they can make sure they stick to the same suspension for the whole year, I'd be thrilled.

Absolutely. Expecting consistency out of the NHL is like wishing for a unicorn to come along and fart out some gold coins.
