Cheap Shot on the B's Ward Not Taken Seriously by NHL

Regarding cheap shots, how is it that the Bruin's Ward drops his hands not wanting to fight, gets hit and will likely be out a game, and there is no suspension levied against the 'Canes. If there was no harm done (i.e. it was not a cheap shot), how come there was a fine?  The fine shows that it was considered a cheap shot.  Now, the B's loose a defenseman (likely) for at least a game, and the 'Canes loose nobody.  If I were a coach, I'd be sending my bruisers out to kick some butt, because paying $2500 is nothing compared to having a defensive star like Ward playing.  Look at the B's record earlier in the season without Ward (about .500)  Losing Ward could mean loosing the opportunity for a Cup this year.  Nice message you're sending commissioner!  Keep up the good work...

If anyone would have thrown that punch, even Bruins, I would say at least a one game suspension. Weak on the NHL's part. One eyed hockey is the future, I guess.
