Again though, completely agree on the lack of consistency. I did think Giroux was much more blatant than Ovechkin though.

Weber had a hearing and was fined, just not suspended.
They say past hits impact the punishment. Giroux has no history and Ovechkin has had a number of questionable hits. Shanahan has a tough job but he sucks at it.
