2) Guy plays on the edge and a bit recklessly, charges, but isn't the type to cheap shot and go for head shots.
3) Look at the Buffalo player's head. Why is he bending over so much. Yea, Rinaldo makes contact with the head, but Ruhwedel could do a better job protecting himself.
Sad part for him is that he just got promoted from the 4th line to the 2nd line. He got a goal in that game, plenty of ice time, and just blew a great opportunity for himself.

Really? looks pretty much he's looking straight at his head in the second GIF and decides to explode into it by jumping.
He's stretched out like that because he needs to keep the puck in because Rinaldo with his stick out could cause a turn over, and the puck is at the fringe of his range so he needs to reach out, how would he know the flyer would play his head and not the puck.
