Sure, I'd like to see Kaleta answer the bell sometimes (not that I think he should have to fight every time he hits someone hard...I hate that trend), but that doesn't even play into the decision. Nothing but the hit should be considered for the suspension. With that said, I agree with Ryan that the penalty was warranted, but the suspension is not. Watch the Flyer; he turns just as Kaleta is about to hit him (as a result of moving the puck). Nothing about the hit itself is dirty, and it wouldn't have even been a penalty if the guy hadn't turned at the last second. You learn not to turn toward the boards in Taking a Hit 101.

I like Kaleta, but he deserved a suspension not for the hit, but for turtling. Their is time for him, I don't want to see him turn into Kasparitus. Cheap shots followed by balling up like a fetus dodging a coat hanger is no way to play. He is what he is though and I will support him for both being a local boy and the Slug on his shirt.
