Kneel got pretty lucky with only receiving a five game ban.

Video is listed but not playing. If Neal only gets 5 Thornton will get 10. Both deserve 10.

For Christ sakes will they stop using the fact if a player was injured or not to be a factor in the lenght of the suspension ! This makes no sense at all and IMO is irrelevant.

Well, if Neal gets 5, I sure hope Thornton gets at least 10. I mean, 5 was the max regardless because it was a phone call. It's bad that I'm happy with it, because while I thought 10 was necessary, I thought they'd only give 2...because NHL.

They did a better job than I expected, but not a good enough one.

Well, baby steps.

Also, James Kneel (yup, I'm going to do it, too) is on the Naughty List this year.

Just my Boss (and I think I've posted this before), but it should be a two-stage process. Stage one should be decide on suspension length based on the act alone. Stage two should be to add additional games based on severity of injury. I think you do have to look at the severity of injury to add additional punishment, but in no way should it supersede the action of the perpetrator.

OK, maybe if the players isnt injured it shouldn't be mentioned. If he is and they add some additional games they could say Player X received five games for his actions the normal amount of games for this infraction, We are adding an additional X number of games because the player was injured. (is this what you mean?)

It just seems like when they mention that he wasn't injured it was a factor in determining the original suspension. Does that makes sense?

Edit: Maybe I just have a problem with them saying it if he wasn't injured, why even mention it? Maybe I'm being overly sensitive here.
