Think that picture above actually makes me like the suspension more.

Why is Edler taking that line to the puck?

Hertl was not is possession of the puck so technically Edler should be aiming to play the puck and not the man.

Edler gets to that puck first easily if he attempts to play it, instead he goes to take the body and doesn't even do that right because he only connects with the head directly. Plus gives up a scoring chance in the other direction.

He clearly is trying to make a big hit here and connects only with the head. May not have been the intent but probably was suspension worthy. Edler could have easily hit him in the shoulder there and the hit would have been just as devastating.

Not from the blindside, but in terms of point of contact it is pretty similar to this hit.
