Not only that, the NHL's policy on punishment is not linear or transparent, and repeat troublemakers have ALWAYS gotten punished more heavily. Brad Marchand is a repeat troublemaker. As far as separating on-ice with after-action punishment, no duh coaches want it called equal. They'd like every day to be a new day, where their guy had never caused trouble before. But those guys in stripes are just as human as the rest of us, and if they are watching the troublemakers a little more closely, how can anyone NOT expect that?

I understand that you think you're making some sort of logical argument, but you're not. Your argument is based on false comparison and lack of internal knowledge on the subject. IOW, emotional.

When did I talk about fan reaction? Fail.
You completely ignored stats I posted. Fail.
You didn't read where I said that supplimental punishment is not decided on the player's history but if they are found guilty then the amount of punishment is. Fail.
You ignore facts and attack the speaker. Final fail. Game misconduct. Now ignored.
