Willy suspended for being a Cap

Sorry for the long rant. I disagree with this suspension. It seems if a player gets injured from any hit there will be a suspension even if it's clean.

Jamie Rivers (former NHL'r and ESPN radio analyst) absolutely ripped the NHL to shreds on this suspension.
Carlo's stick is what caused his injury, and Jamie broke the hit down frame by frame. Then, on top of all that, they made him a "repeat offender" which he hasn't been suspended in over 3 seasons - which negates him being a repeat offender.
There was no penalty on the play assessed at the time, and Wilson had to fight two times so the retaliation method was met and he had an amazingly clean game after the fights.
This suspension is an absolute atrocity for not just Wilson or the Capitals, but the NHL and the DoPS completely.
