Decision for Backes hitting Nielson

[LadyRedWing 1]

He is suspended three games... per the score : backes suspended

 

was it enough of a  suspension, or should it have been more games? some are saying that it should be way more than three because it was a :"headshot"  what do you all think?

 

at the bottom of this paragraph on the score it says more to come..

Explains the suspension really well.

I think they got this one right.

Are we totally insane-y? Are we zany to the max?

To be honest, it looks like a totally non-eventful type hit....perhaps a little late, but nothing out of the ordinary.  You have to watch the slow motion video to see there is head contact.  Certainly wasn't an aggressive/vicious hits like some of the others we've seen in the past.  So, I get the suspension in this day and age.....head shots are extremely dangerous...3 games makes sense.
