It looks to me that the elbow hits the lowered shoulder and that was the main impact. Then you do get some shoulder bumping the head - but that is secondary to the initial contact.

I thought Boyes played a very strong game. Perhaps he can't be expected to do that playing with Hecht and McCormick (which looks like the 4th line by process of elimination), but with Vanek he and Adam looked great. And beyond that, Boyes just looked much more aggressive ... Perhaps the combo of a new system and playing center had him tentative last season.

And who knows, maybe someone was scouting the game and liked what they saw and decides to make a deal.

Boyes had a very strong game. He's got great hands and vision, now if he plays as strong on the puck good things will happen.

I hope they carry this heavy enforcement over into the regular season. It's actually starting to look like they really do care. Of course, the next step will be what happens when an Ovechkin or Crosby makes this hit.

If this holds into the regular season I could see quite a few players suddenly defanged. Anyone fear Chris Neil anymore if he isn't willing to headhunt?

Boyes will now be a repeat offender? What a joke. The first time he hits someone in blue and gold and he gets two games for it. Won't have to worry about that happening again. And still no word on why the hit from behind on Gaustad isn't being looked at...

 

Let me guess - Chara and Ovechkin are still virgins in the league's eyes.

Has Neil ever been held accountable for anything? Will he ever be? Or will he always be the player who gets away with it?
