Just because you believe it was not head first, doesn't make it fact. At no point have I said everyone else is wrong, I was just stating my opinion on the issue. In my opinion the angles of the video replay aren't clear enough to change my mind on the issue.
I feel that if Gryba did hit Eller body on body Eller would not have spun like he did, he would have been knocked back and that is what I am basing my opinion on. I believe the last second change in direction Eller did altered the angle of the hit Gryba was going to deliver and it caused him to miss Ellers body and clip his head (first) with possible hip contact after the hit to the head.
Edit: In the video you posted I see that both players are leaning slightly forward, you can see Eller's head in contact with Gryba's shoulder. With both players leaning forward Gryba and Ellers hips would not be in contact with eachother until after the initial head contact.
