I dunno guys, apparently I'm in the stupid, blind minority, but I agree with Shanny. Based on the current rules and the angles I've seen, it seems like a "dirty" hit to me.

I doubt the head was intentionally targeted, but by the time their bodies hit, Eller's head was already spun 90 degrees over his shoulder. Making me think the head was hit first. He was spun around, not blown back, and he was KO'd before he hit the ice.

Plus, it's a MTL player. Plus, Gryba is a no-name plug. Plus, there was an injury on the play (and a pool of blood). I'm not surprised it was a suspension, but I think it should have only been one game, since there was no clear intent.

I think Brown's attempted elbow last night was wayyyyyyyy way worse, but this league punishes the results and not the act, so what are you gonna do.
