Just saying Ozzie was the instigator and should not get off scott free if Ribeiro got something. Should Ribeiro get a bigger fine than Ozzie? Sure. Hard to argue that. But if you are doling out suspensions, escpecially multi-game suspensions like many here are whining about, then Osgood would have to get some kind of suspension as well.

Then Turco should get a suspension for butt-ending Helm earlier in the game on a similar play. He should also be suspended for that nasty slew-foot.
