honestly i think the suspension is BS. yea he made contact with the ref but it wasn't in a effort to hurt the ref, he was just all hyped up, wanted to fight a MTL the ref grabbed him aggressively and he tried to break free. It was like a human reaction when your body is filled with adrenaline, but i guess the suspension was shortened because theres a rule where if you make contact with a ref unintentional it goes from 10 games to 5, i dont know where they got 6. But it is what it is.
