Jones didn't exactly "run over" him. He went a little hard, maybe, but I don't think he had full intentions of hurting Lehtonen.

Anytime a player cross-checks an unsuspecting guy in the back like that, it's uncalled for.

Where the hell were Jones' teammates?

That aside, one game. If instigating a fight in the last five minutes of a game is suspension-worthy, a crosscheck to the back is as well, especially in a 5-1 game.

I wouldn't go as far as vicious but it was incredibly stupid, 1 game max. To be honest I thought Dillon's hit on Eberle was more "vicious" however Eberle wasn't hurt and is not a Blackhawk so no suspension on that expected.

Looked to me like Jones went in a little too hard into the goalie, but then obviously tried not to hurt the goalie and even seemed like he was asking the guy if he was ok. His 2 for goalie interference was punishment enough. No need for that dirty hit. That being said, not sure it's worth a suspension. Just an *&& beating next game with the Oilers.
