Some questions to think about:
- should a suspension be determined AFTER the play has already been done and there was a penalty issued? I suppose penalties are done in the moment whereas suspensions are done after, and both methods have their flaws.
- Should suspensions be determined by how hurt the hit player is? Or should they be determined by the intention, location, and specific situation?
In this case, I think 4 games is valid, but still questionable when you look at other hits that have gone on (even some by the Canucks themselves). In those situations, no one received suspensions for those because the victims could still play afterwards. But perhaps the angle was just off, and Horto's body couldn't sustain a hit like that.
