Looked to me like their helmets may have hit. Clearly the first and primary contact was the chest, but Laine's head may have then hit McCabe's. Then it also looked like the back of Laine's head may have hit the ice.
Either one of those things may have concussed him.

I watched this hit repeatedly making sure what I saw, due soley to your comment. I cannot agree with your assessment at all. I see McCabe coming across the ice to pressure the puck (Shuffles), sees the puck come across to Laine and slams on the brakes and stuffs Laine into himself.
Opportunistic? As all hell. You betchya.
Predatory? Not even remotely.
