It sure looks that way.

And did I read right that Morrissey has "history"? Not sure why pro sports (most all of them) have such a problem with consistency? Should of been 4-6 games if they're going from the same play book they used to sentence Wilson. >:(
PUCKNRUSH:
Original contact no problem. I agree with most here, it was the SLAM that was suspect.
I assumed they checked to see if Oshie suffered an injury, as DOPS states that is always a factor in the decision.
I would like to have seen 1-3 games handed out. Worse though, is the damn low-ball fine!! $8500!!!
Hell, NHL, save your money? It costs more, just to process the story for the media! JEEZ!

Let me speak as a statistician for a moment .....
If the situation with discipline were "inconsistent" in some random fashion, that would correspond to variance in the random variable of the amount of consequence relative to a particular class of hockey infractions. However, if the amount of consequence for a particular class of infractions is consistently different for some players than for others, that corresponds to the statistical concept of bias. Bias is a much more insidious and provocative cause of error in statistics, because it is much more difficult to measure and compromises the integrity of statistics no matter how much one observes the phenomenon under consideration (whereas one can reduce variance by observing more cases). Bias is also dangerous to the integrity, not just of statistics, but of the science of statistics itself, because people get the sense that "statistics are worthless." Also, bias can creep into statistics not just because of natural phenomena that interfere in some consistent way with the measurement of a variable, but because someone is manipulating the data for his/her own purposes.

Morrissey was suspended for cross checking vedic Staal in the face last playoffs. Bad thing about that he didnt even get a penalty on the play and later that game he assisted on the gwg.
People here probably remember the Niskanen crosscheck on Crosby which got him 5 min, a game misconduct and a suspension. I thought the Morrissey crosscheck on Staal was a lot worse. The refs let it go. The league gave him one game.
