A shame he did it to the goaler. Buff on the other hand gets away with crap all the time but its still dangerous.

When was the last time a player was suspended for a slew-foot, or even called for a penalty?
He's far and away the dirtiest player in the league, they just haven't realized it yet.
Every. Single. Game. He's trying to injure someone on the other team. I noticed it his rookie year.
Look at this stat line from Manitoba Juniors. Hint- the first number is games played. The last is penalty minutes.
63 47 34 81 303
He should get a 10 game or so suspension and probation that states if something happens again he's out. No penalty to the Stars organization, he just can't play in the league anymore.

What a weak response on the ice by the Jets.
Rule 52 - Slew-footing
52.1 Slew-footing - Slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.
52.2 Match Penalty - Any player who is guilty of slew-footing shall be assessed a match penalty.
52.3 Fines and Suspensions - There are no specified fines or suspensions for slew-footing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).
This is Garbutt's third suspension in the last 14 calendar months. This should have been 5 games.
Only 3 games for 2 slewfoots? That's very lenient.
It's too bad Thorburn or Peluso didn't just beat the crap out of him in the game. That sends a stronger message than just a 3 game suspension.
the first one wasn't a slew foot, if anything it was a kick... but in reality it was just a trip

The teams meet 3 more times this season...expect revenge in one of those matchups.

If it was a kick then it is considered a slew foot under the current rules.
