From what I heard, just one game and nothing for the spear.

Weird. To me, the spear was a lot (or is that "allot"? ) worse than the throat gesture. Go figure..........

The spear, was dirty, but wasn't that violent. I think the NHL took that under review.
A spear is not violent, but a hand against your own throat is worthy of a suspension? I fail to see the logic there!
(Maybe it's because in my naivete I'm not sure who he directed the gesture at - a player or the ref - and I'm not sure exactly what the gesture signifies.

Honestly, watching that spear, it looked like he barely touched him.

My violent I meant that he didn't spear him hard. And yes, yelling your dead and making a throat slitting action is very violent
