His intent was to give the guy an annoying shot in the head and that's what he did. There needs to be way more degree of impact to justify a multi game suspension. He barely touched the guy, we wouldn't even be talking about it if he hadn't snuck away in such a cowardly fashion.
Sorry but you're trying to pass off a two minute roughing penalty as being way more than what it was. Marchand is a rat but that doesn't turn his minor penalties into majors.
