That's a real head scratcher. I'd love to hear Bettman try and explain that one.

Why would Bettman even consider reducing his suspension???

The total was to make sure he did not play in any additional playoff games this past season. Once next season starts, nobody will care about it. To be honest, I'm surprised that it wasn't reduced to "time served". I guess that would have been too obvious.

Apparently he's not going to bother. Unlike Shanahan's decisions, there doesn't seem to be a video with the announcement. Was a four game reduction even worth the trouble?

In the grand scheme of the suspension it doesn't make much sense. My guess is that Bettman told Tootoo that if he felt like going through the trouble of coming to his office he would make it worth his while?? Even then it doesn't make any sense lol.

Wait until the next offense, I'll bet he gets five games or less.

Now I realize this isn't the NHL but if you watch this clip at the 2:44 min mark it is one of the worst hits you will ever see when it comes to head shots!

The good part is the person that got hit was NOT concussed believe it or not...LOL. Head of rocks I guess. And the kid that threw the hit only got 3 games!
