This weekend NHL.com has reported that Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Nick Boynton will be suspended for 1 regular season game. The suspension comes after Boynton made a throat slashing motion towards Tampa Bay Lightning centre Blair Jones during a pre-season game on Sept 22.
Is this seriously what the NHL has come to?
Frankly I think that 1 game wasn't enough. Trust me, Boynton won't notice missing one game and a couple thousand dollars. The league needs to send a message that juvenile behaviour like this won't be tolerated.
Don’t do it

I don't reeeally care about hockey, but I'm not sure which way you're going with this. Your headline is "unnecessary" but you then say "the league needs to send a message". Does "unnecessary" refer to what the bozo did (vs. the league's lame response)?
