Bertuzzi's incident cant be included here. The dragged Moore from the back of the sweater and sucker punched him... Thats "assault"

Rome's suspension.. If it happened in the regular season, he still woulda gotten 3-5

As i said earlier, using Rene Bourque's hit on Backstrom is probably a good comparison. That was Bourque's 2nd suspension as well. 5 games for a first time offender imo is a pretty high bar. Especially for a Norris winner.
