Is Six Games Enough for Rick Rypien?

We would figure that Rick Rypien would either get a big punishment of about twenty games or a small punishment of around five games.
It seemed like the punishment pushed towards a small punishment rather than a big one. Yes, the NHL has decided to suspend Canucks center Rick Rypien for a maximum of six games, making him eligible to return Saturday, November 6 at home against the Detroit Red Wings. Meanwhile, it will look like the Canucks will have to contend without him as they prepare for a game tonight at home against Minnesota, the team that one of its fan was pushed by Rick Rypien.
Now, let's look closely at six games. Doesn't sound like a lot, right? Well, looking at the Canucks schedule, they have three home games and then two away games. They are playing at home against Minnesota, Colorado, and New Jersey and then on the road at Edmonton and at Colorado. They certainly seem to see many teams in their division as of late. I don't think the Canucks need to worry about the teams coming forward now that they don't have Rick Rypien in their lineup.
But let's look at Rick Rypien's suspension instead of what the Canucks are up against. Is six games a fair suspension by the NHL? There is a downside and a upside. He did get suspended for a lot of games but the NHL does fear that the players will come back and lash out at them. A six-game suspension certainly seems far but at what cost?
The fan was pushed by Rick Rypien. The fan applauded at him but made no push or physical emotion that would've provoked Rick Rypien to push him back. So this is entirely on Rick Rypien. A six-game suspension is fine, but I would've been more happy if it were a ten or fifteen game suspension. He instigated this entire thing physically and he deserves more than just six games.
This is one of the many times where the NHL acts like a complete idiot, in a way. If they don't find a way to suspend their players fairly, then they should be people in that office, and I mean new people, that can get the job done and give these players justice. Yeah, okay, Rick Rypien felt the justice but it wasn't enough justice.
For the future, the NHL needs to seriously consider how to properly suspend their players. If you give them a low suspension, why not fine them as well? We shouldn't let these players walk away with just a small suspension. A big suspension doesn't matter. But the NHL needs to crack down more on players that decide to attack fans. Players aren't supposed to physically hurt fans, and it cost Rick Rypien. Hopefully he learned something and hopefully the NHL will crack down more on players who lose their temper and decide to do this type of thing.
