I hate HF Boards, but they're not wrong. The hit was fine, the slam to the ice was excessive, but I don't think it's a suspendable offence. 2 minutes for roughing. That's what 2 and 5 minute penalties are there for...for infractions that cross the line but not egregious. Disagree? That's fine. The league might disagree as well seeing as there's a hearing. I guess we'll see. If there isn't then there you have it. Hockey is a very, very physical sport. People are going to get hurt...might as well get rid of boxing or MMA then. If the goal is to turn then NHL into a perpetual All-Star game where no one hits anything and there's no aggression in the sport, then it's not something I'm interested in seeing. Hockey is an aggressive sport. Yes, the slam was over the line, but I guess it's just a matter of how far over the line. To me a penalty for roughing would've been enough...but I will acknowledge that the league is trending towards IIHF type officiating where anything that's very aggressive is strongly frowned upon. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
