I was half way through writing how it should be a suspension no question and decided to re watch the video in slow motion.
My tune has changed.... if you pause play pause play you see Edler takes a straight path to Hurtl without raising elbows or shoulders. It is not a blind side hit as Hertl clearly sees him in advance and wants to tip the puck up and go inside of Edler. With Hertl slowing down and trying to come inside it leads to the head shot.
Sheriff Shanahan gets it wrong....again.
