First rule of cutting through open ice: keep your head up! If Kane doesn't have his chin below his nipples, the principle point of contact would have been the chest. His face just got in the way. Clean hit.

Definitely looks like the head was the first point of contact. He hit the rest of the body solidly too, but the head is clearly where he first makes contact. We'll see if it's punishable.

Haha! My last name is actually McCann and my first name starts with a J too. One of the greatest moments of being a Canuck fan was seeing a J McCann drafted by my team! Incidentally, it would have also been my draft year if I had ever played hockey lol.

I watched the replay of a different gif 20-30 times and wasn't really convinced it was head contact. This video has this frame though, and the exact instant Dumba's shoulder glances Kane's head. Notice the obvious ice between Dumba's arm and Kane's chest.

 

Kind of hard to argue the head wasn't the principal point of contact. It's too bad really, there's nothing I like seeing more than someone getting rocked with their head down cruising through the middle of the ice.
