A short time ago, Tom Lysiak of the Chicago Blackhawks snuck up behind a
referee after a faceoff and used his stick to make the ref fall backwards
onto the ice.  It was intentional from the replays since he was not going
for the puck or any players when he did it.  At first, Lysiak was suspended
for 20 or so games with loss of pay.  Somehow he "beat the rap" as they
say and got off the hook.  Could someone fill in the details for me?
I think that he should have been suspended without pay for a lot longer
based on what I know about the incident, which is incomplete (i.e., why
was Lysiak so upset, etc.?).  Thanks,
