This is a prime example of the NHL completely missing the mark on yet another suspension. This is also another example of the league continuing to fail at policing the league and why a lot of fans still believe in the (archaic) notion that players should police themselves(ie fighting).
The fact that “first time offender” and the “player was not seriously hurt” played a role in a reduced suspension is nothing short of a bad dad joke. They are completely irrelevant here and really in any suspension worthy case. The fact is Nyqvist’s stick was literally less than 2 inches from stabbing Sprugeon in the eye and effectively ending his career.
Absolute joke.

He clearly intended to high stick Spurgeon, which in my book means the only reason it wasn’t a serious injury was pure luck… not something that should win you leniency.
