I’ve heard fairly objective Penquin fans argue this, but time changes perception. When you compare the hits side by side there is a difference; besides, once you’ve used up your oops cards, you don’t get more for good behavior.

I’m a die hard Penquin fan, but it did not appear that the intention of the hit was to harm. Just as a player is responsible for a high stick penalty, whether intentional or not, other factors (blood for example) must be considered. Marleau WAS penalized for the hit and that should be all. It is a fast game.
