Taken from the main thread. This is awesome...

Was pointed out in the main thread that Landy was suspended for 3 games for essentially the exact same incident. This could be a 5 gamer. Or more.
Cross checking a guy in the face isn't okay because you don't know you're doing it.Oh give me a break. What is going on with this league, and why do they seem to have a stricter standard for Av players?
These are unintentional plays that just happen in the game of hockey. He's giving him cross check shoves to the shoulder while Tkachuk is completely bent over at a 90 degree angle, and his stick slides over his shoulder pad and hits him. He's not even looking at him as he does it.
He should've gotten 5 and a game, the fact he got 2min means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Given his history I'd be surprised if he sits for less than two.One game at best. It was a 2 minute penalty. Nobody cared when Kerf got elbowed in the face several times in the Caps game. This is not like Landy coming across in open ice at all.
It was only a two minute penalty because the ref miscalled it. Should have been 5 and a game. Can't purposely cross check someone in the face. Just because it's our player doesn't mean it wasn't bad and intentional, it was a dangerous play that could have ended up much worse.One game at best. It was a 2 minute penalty. Nobody cared when Kerf got elbowed in the face several times in the Caps game. This is not like Landy coming across in open ice at all.
