oh, don't get me wrong, if they had suspended Osgood and Ribeiro, while not happy, I would have at least been satisfied. And by no means do I think the swing actually hurt Osgood. The problem is, if you start swinging sticks, you never know where its gonna land. Osgood could have seen it coming too late, tried to duck and been hit in the head. In my mind, if you throw a 2-hander at someone, you mean to hurt them, even if its just a little. And that move has no place in pro sports, unless you concider the WWE a pro sport.
My answer would have been 1 game for Osgood, 2-3 for Ribeiro, and don't even get me started on Otts attempt at a Bertuzzi.
