If there was no injury, do you think it should have been a suspension?
I don't.
It wasn't a good hit, but I think a minor penalty would have been fine. Stoner came in from the side, and maybe it was a tad late(arguable), but really it wasn't that bad. Call it a cross check, or call it a board.

The bold part remains to be seen, if Patches is injured then regardless of the intent of Stoner, it was a bad hit.
The Vine video shows the hit was from the side but the follow through with the push motion is what caused Patches to go flying into the boards. There should have been a penalty but bad reffing went both ways, this one seems worse because of the end result.
