A couple of suspensions already

We've only been a couple of games in several series but we've already had 2 suspensions. This is an example of tempers boiling over during a stressful time for the players. Lets see what's happened.

Jarret Stoll of the Los Angeles Kings crunched Ian White of the San Jose' Sharks into the boards. A battle behind the boards wasn't getting anywhere so Stoll tried to end it with a hard hit. Not only did Stoll target the head, not only did he hit him from behind, from a blindside, but after driving his head into the glass, he held it up against the boards to make sure White wouldn't be able to continue the play. Somehow, this did not warrant a penalty call and many fans were upset about this in the Tank. After the game, the NHL announced that Stoll will be suspended for the unpenalized dirty hit. Usually when a dirty play wasn't called for a penalty, the NHL makes up for it by adding a game in the suspension. The NHL only gave Stoll one game though for the nasty hit. I would have given him more games though. The hit was nasty and how he held his head against the boards was unnecessary. Also, I would have added a game or two for the fact that he got away with it during the game. I say it should have been a 3 or 4 game suspension at least. The NHL should not let it seem that this type of play would just be let go like it appears it is. They should really "Put their foot down" (refer to next suspension to understand the punn) with these plays.

Bobby Ryan of the Anaheim Ducks stomped down on Jonathon Blum's foot during Friday night's win in Anaheim. While battling him for the puck, he got frustrated and stomped down on his opponents foot to try to get the puck loose. Much like the Stoll hit, the Ryan stomp went unpenalized. This was at a very important part of the game. Nashville was down a goal late in the third and the much deserved powerplay would have helped fight back. However, nothing was called and Nashville eventually lost. The NHL gave Ryan a 2 game suspension for this and I think it was a good amount. As stupid as it was, Blum wasn't injured as a result and he was able to play on. It was a nasty type of play and I'm sure Ryan didn't want to necessarily injure Blum but was just frustrated. So I think 2 games was a good amound.
