Maybe if Spacek’s jaw was broken, or broke his nose then yea… make it more stiff. But he will play next game… he is just gonna be bruised. Heaven forbid. its one thing when you fight the guy 1 on 1. But punching him in the side of the head is not fighting. he was defensless. And it should not matter if he broke his jaw or if he got up and skated away. The guy intentionally tried to seriously hurt him. 9 games is not enough --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/only-a-9-game-suspension-for-a-sucker-punch-wtf/22018)._
