Which by definition can't be an elbow.
It's a tough play between two players with a significant size disparity. I don't know how one can argue that's targeted.
Edit: zoom in on the bottom Gif. McAvoy's elbow is on Johnny's left shoulder. It's not an elbow to the head.

Its late. Elbow, no elbow, whatever, its really late. The puck is long gone.
If you're clearing an attacker out of your crease thats one thing, but you cant even say that because the puck is nowhere when he gets hit.
If that puck is still on Johnny's stick then this is a different conversation. But it isnt, so that makes the hit late and unnecessary.
