If you can't see a difference between these two incidents, don't ever try one of those "spot the differences" puzzles in the paper either.

 

Guy on the boards, traveling to (with?) the puck...with a guy coming in from his left to "check him".  Actually looks like he lost an edge more than anything if you watch frame by frame as I did.  THROWS his head back, so it looks real bad.

Edler didn't dish a hit...he was trying to absorb one.   That's the difference.  Illegal "check to the head" but he wasn't even the guy doing the checking?  

Nazzy AND Edler were simply playing hockey....skating straight ahead for the puck.  Two guys came in like superheroes to take them out.  

 

One guy was seriously hurt...the other, despite snapping his head back, played the next shift without missing a beat.

Just now, Smashian Kassian said:

The Edler hit was fine as a 2 min call. Edler didnt stick an elbow out, it was close to his body, the player was just low & it looked bad. 

 

Refs called it correctly imo

They've apparently upgraded though.  Such BS
