Wow, I hope you didn't really see it that way after the numerous slo-motion replays...
Osgood INTENTIONALLY stuck his stick out, hitting Ribiero in the FACE. Not a big deal, 2 for interference or high-sticking.
Ribiero slashed Osgood in the CHEST, not the throat. That isn't to say it wasn't a wild swing worthy of the match penalty and a suspension, but seriously...it was pretty clear during the numerous replays.
