Shanahan's a tool when it comes to making any sense in his decisions.
He even made note of two similar stick swinging incidents when Kessel was chopping away in a Flyers' game.
Great way of sending a message that reckless stick swinging (irresponsibility of your stick) will punish you for games that don't matter.
Oh wait... didn't someone else just get a big suspension for being irresponsible for his stick?
