Which is odd, because I can't see much of anything from the side, so I wouldn't prefer that angle. Meanwhile, on the angle starting at :54, it looks pretty obvious to me that he clips him in the head. What I see on that play is light clip to the head, Kesler goes off-balance, and decides to fall down and hold his face for a few seconds in the hopes of getting a call. Which is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect from Kesler, but it's still a hit to the head and still a dangerous play if things go differently if someone's skating a bit faster or at a slightly different angle.
But anyway, that's what I see. My problem isn't so much with calling Kesler out for going down like... well, like Kesler, it's for giving players a free pass on these plays because there were no stretchers as a result. This happens a lot and it's really frustrating beause no one seems to care unless someone's legitimately hurt.

Look at the play from the 47 to 50 second mark, he takes a "full" dive.
