Yeah after watching the replay, it's clear the head is the main point of contact. Looks like if he wouldn't have provided that last pushoff with his skates, he would have avoided doing that. However, he didn't show proper restraint which separates the good tough hitters from the cheap shotters.

It doesn't matter how close it was to being a clean hit. His reputation will damn him anyway. In that particular instance, I'd look to the history of the player to see if a suspension was warranted, and in this case there's no doubt that we've got a habitual offender.

The reason why I was so pissed about the elbowing claims was because the CSN broadcasters and even the post game analysts kept using the "elbow to the head" description, and it just wasn't. It was definitely a hit to the head, but god damn it quit saying it was a fucking elbow already!
