Throwing a 90 mile fast ball at somebodies head is acceptable in baseball, as long as they are looking. How much worse would it be if you threw it at them while they were walking up from the on-deck circle? It would be worse no doubt, but would it be bad enough to receive an 18 month suspension?

I get your point, but it's a little more than a technicality. Punching someone in hockey isn't okay, unless you're fighting. I'm no doctor, but had Moore expected it, bracing for the punch or his reaction to the punch would have caused a different outcome, IMO. There had to be a severe consequence, or else it could have escalated even more. Remember, it all started because of it hit in a prior game between the two teams.
Now, this year, if two goons have dropped the gloves and are fighting, and one breaks the other's neck...
