Alleged Pavelski Headbutt

Joe Pavelski was ejected in the third period of the Stars/Sharks game tonight (I made it home just in time to see what happened).  Its a little sketchy, and I don't want to infer what Joe's intent was, but I could see the league giving him a game suspension for the head-butting motion.  It wasn't quite Zidane-esque, but there was an air of abnormality to it.  

He has no past history of violent conduct on the ice, which apparently plays a big role in determining suspension lengths these days.  Don't get me started on the Witt elbow.  Five games was a slap on the wrist.  Poor Hagman.
