Possible Suspension for Bruins for Game 7?

After game 6's victory, Tampa fans threw their clapper paddle images on the ice in celebration.

This is common in NHL playoff games where fans throw towels or whatever is given out at the game onto the ice. There's no real reason for it but it's just something to do for the fans I guess.

Well Bruins players didn't appreciate this. While having towels thrown at you (which is usually the case) is harmless, these paddles are probably a little harder and might sting a little if hit by one (just ask David Krejci).

Well one Bruin player, Nathan Horton, decided to do something about this. While skating off the ice, he took a gatorade bottle from the bench and quirted liquid at a fan and then threw the water bottle at him. Here's the video:

Happens at the 1:30 mark. 

Well time for a history lesson boys and girls.

Prior to this season, the NHL made an announcement about this type of behavior. 

Any identifiable player who uses obscene, profane or abusive language or gestures directed at any person runs the risk of an unsportsmanlike penalty and possible supplemental discipline.

Hmmm. Kinda sounds like Ference should have been suspended for this right here: http://robinsnest-yoro.blogspot.com/2011/04/bostons-andrew-ference-obscene-gesture.html.

Well several people say Ference wasn't suspended because he's on the Bruins and the guy in charge of dealing out disciplinary actions, Colin Campball, is the father of Boston forward Gregory Campbell. Well if that was the reason, then it looks like Horton will go unpunished as well. Furthermore, if you say "well it's playoff time and it's a bigger hit if there's a suspension" well look back to 2009 when Rangers coach John Tortorella was suspended a game in the playoffs for literally the same exact thing.

So the Bruins have been getting away with dirty play several times so far in the postseason. Once again, we'll see what happens with this case.

Edit: For about the 3rd time this postseason, I will say this again. It enrages me to say this but the Bruins will go unpenalized AGAIN for disobeying the rules. @HabsLaughs puts it perfectly in several tweets:

before the decision not to suspend him: "Horton should get suspended, but he won't be. We all know he won't be"

and "I know there is no conspiracy, but it's weird that I have to say that every time the Bruins do something illegal and then get away with it"

Edit: just received word tonight, the day after game 7, that Horton was fined an undisclosed amount. Pfff. Big deal. That's like receiving a free Porsche but you have to pay for the tires. He just made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm sure he doesn't mind paying a small sum.
