I see this as an illegal check to the head, sure the nhl sees it that way to and they should. The head was the primary point of impact. Suspendable!

The player could of aimed for another point of impact, or even eased up on the check and still would of been very effective. Six inches lower point of impact Rattie still goes flying and is still hurt. Then I call it a clean hit!

With that said its also on Rattie. You can not have your head down like that and not expect to get crunched! I have seen worse hits, and Rattie has too, he should know better!
