Alfie To Return To The Senators' Lineup

     I don't get it.  How does Daniel Alfredsson get destroyed by Carl Hagelin, suffers from a concussion, and then returns to the lineup just a little over a week later?  Is he Superman?  Brendan Shanahan says he thinks Hagelin is a good kid, but whether intentional or not you see him skate at Alfie and then elbow him in the face.  And it's not just an elbow... Alfie's head gets mashed between Hagelin's hard knock and the boards, yet he is fine a week later.  I swear he has super powers.  The flaw in Shanahan's system is if there is an injury or not.  Hagelin received a 3 game suspension while Matt Carkner received a 1 game for his quarrel with Brian Boyle.
    Carkner's role in the lineup is to start and carry out beef.  He intentionally elbowed Brian Boyle in the head and then continued to repeatedly punch him in the face against the boards until everyone jumped on him.  If the NHL wants to crack down on targeting the head, how is Carkner's actions only a 1 game suspension.  Hagelin claims he was just trying to finish the check, but Carkner clearly tried to injure Boyle.  Injury or not, if the NHL wants to banish head injuries from targeting the head, Carkner should be out 5+ games.
     It doesn't even matter if Boyle is significantly larger than Alfie.  The actions taken upon Boyle are clear intentions of injury.  Alfie is much smaller and of course he is more likely to get hurt.
