      Tall D, short F. This is just physics plain and simple. Scheifele had his head down and got rocked. Zadorov just stepped into him, no active targeting of the head. Zadorov would have had to crouch in order to make principle point of contact the shoulder.


      This is a good hit imo

      I agree...but of course we have the obligatory scrum and fight after the hit...they gave Zadorov a 2 minute penalty for charging although he never left his feet.

      Leaving the feet is considered charging yes, but the rule is left intentionally vague because: No Hitting League:

      Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice."[1] The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct, or suspension if the infraction results in injury to the opposing player. Any player who leaves their feet while delivering a body check is also found to be in violation of the charging rule and is subject to penalization.

      It's really a shame, they are regulating the hockey, out of hockey.
