This. **** warnings. This isn't like say a helmet to helmet hit in the NFL where players have been trained to hit the hell out a guy for years and are reacting in tenths of seconds.
Paul's made a conscious decision here and should have received a hefty fine.
IMO, penalties should be.
1st offense: Half game check
2nd offense: Whole game check, one game suspension
3rd offense: Three whole game checks, two game suspension + one game post-season suspension (or another third regular-season game suspension at beginning of following year for non-playoff team)
Maybe then these guys will stop this ********.
