I know it's dragging up a VERY old subject but check out http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=503513
interesting to see how a proper league officiates such matters... in particular the paragraph stating "there were a number of reasons that led to the decision not to suspend Richards: he did not target Booth's head; he did not leave his feet to deliver the blow; he did not hit an unsuspecting player; he is not a repeat offender; and he did not hit Booth late, as it was determined the blow was delivered less than a half-second after Booth passed the puck."
Brad on Tait way back when - Brad could only really be brought up as a possible repeat offender. I found it interesting anyway.
