Joe Veleno. Suspended 5 games.

That was an obvious intent to injure. I'd like to see the NHL suspend him as well. Send a message that stuff like that won't be tolerated, regardless of where it happens.
Should be a permanent ban from international hockey. Which really wouldn't hurt Canada at all as he doesn't belong in a Canada jersey.

5 games is a joke.
This guy should be banned for life from the IIHF.

Something people complaining about the length of the suspension should probably know: the Disciplinary Panel that issued it has jurisdiction over the ongoing tournament and nothing else. They can't issue suspensions that carry over to the NHL, and they also can't ban anyone from IIHF events for life - the IIHF board would have to assign a special panel with that power to look into the case.
If this had happened in the NHL, and the department headed by Parros had given Veleno five games - yeah, it would have been laughably short. But here, the panel essentially threw the book at Veleno by giving him the max-length suspension they could.

I would not object to this in the least, and am baffled at how he gets only five games.
If he came at another player with a knife, as opposed to another bladed weapon, with clear intent to injure, would he only get ten games?

Pretty sure we won't ever be seeing him in a team Canada jersey again after that.

Great post. This should be pinned for reference because I don't think a lot of people know this about the IIHF.
