Odd that he only got two games for the 2nd suspension.

I think it's because the hit wasn't all that bad, might not have been a suspension for someone else. It's a suspension because he simply went for the hit, not the puck...on an icing.

Didn't the League say that "repeat offenders" would see their suspensions escalate, until they "got the message" regarding shots to the head? It they are following policy, this should have been lonnger than 5 games.

Exactly what I was thinking when I questioned "only" two games.
