Watch at the :23 mark:

The speed, motion and angle with which the arm is thrown back / up. Classic accidentally on purpose.
Again, I think it was a heat of the moment thing from a teenage player and I'm not trying to over-blow that it's a huge travesty.
But it was dirty, and I'd rather see hard-nose stuff that doesn't cross the line like this play did.
It was an intended elbow. There's just no need to try and spin it any other way. |
The hit does look pretty bad at the 0:23 mark, from that angle it looks like a elbow. But when I watch the replay at the 0:31 mark it looks more like a reverse check gone bad. Either way, hit to the head but I don't think there was malicious intent.
