he nudged him to say get the hell away from my goalie. use some discretion when you analyze these things, good lord man. nothing going on between the two? Corey Perry is a pest who is all up in the goaltender's space, and typically a defenseman deters that. that has everything to do with hockey. a child could be poked with the stick in the way Fox did it and be unharmed. 6+ game suspension? get real.
I think you missed the mark on these two somewhere. This is about as light of a spear as I've seen, but it is still a spear, so if you want to throw the book at it, you do have an argument. But another spear happens, and you yourself said it was exactly that, and you're barely willing to call it two minutes, despite being much more forceful and in a more tender area. If you're you're calling a spear a spear, regardless of how minor it was on this one, then why are you not doing the same on the other one? I think there's no reason these two should be disciplined any differently, whether that be fining them both or suspending them both

Perry has been a punk since he joined the league. Fox is a kid and absolutely cold at hockey. Weep.

Maybe the ref/linesmen and NHL don’t care because they all agree that Perry always deserves it?
