I think the NHL should at least consider fines, if not suspensions, for a situation such as the Koivu injury. I only saw the play one time, and I don't remember it that well, but if Williams was being careless with the stick, he should be punished.

Accidents are going to happen out there, but a hockey stick is a dangerous piece of equipment, and if you're not handling it properly with other players around, something has to be done. I don't really know what a fair punishment would be, but they can't keep letting this slide. My immediate suggestion would be a one-game suspension, although that could naturally be increased if the incident is severe.
