Two games is the going rate for first time offenders, so I'm not surprised. I think the precedent has been set too low for shots to the head, as some have already said, in a league that claims to be clamping down on checks where the head is the prime point of contact. In terms of recent suspensions, this is the standard, sadly.
All things considered, I would say the there is much more of a silver lining all around with the injury situation. Stone isn't concussed, which is positive, obviously. Hoffman is on the trip too, admittedly with one of those pesky type injuries, but he's on the trip. It sucks that Bobby is on the shelf for the next month especially when he was looking like more of a force of late, but again, he's slated to be back at some point before the playoffs if they can battle their way in. Wingels is fine.
Time for some trap-em up Boucher hockey to hopefully steal some on the road.
