Yeah absolutely the elbow was up, hits from behind like that are very common though, especially when players don’t launch or charge into the hit. This seems like Rempe is getting suspended for his history. He’s had some other really dirty plays before but this is a run of the mill hit with the issue of his elbow being up. If he laid this same hit on Rooney for example it would be a minor penalty.
