Meh, I hated the Kotkaniemi hit too, but trying to look at it objectively, I think both got what they deserved.

Agree, but refs are still way too inconsistent. And the only reason Niskanen got the suspension was because of the injury. This is beyond asinine. There are much worse checks where the head is actually targeted that only get 2 and nothing else because there was no injury.
