I encourage anyone to rewatch that game (because it was great).

If you just watch the full speed GIF on repeat from that one angle it looks damning. Most other angles show it's more borderline. In the context of that game as it wasn't particularly egregious.

Higher probabaility of minor-moderate injury. There were 5 or 6 boardings-from-behind that sent guys head first into the boards from 3 feet way. Lower probability, but those are the hits that might paralyze a guy.

I'm fine with Sam getting a game, but there were several other hits worthy of review IMO.
