-Dumba did not hit the head IMO. My eyes saw Dumba's forearm hit Backlund's sternum. But I do admit that this point is arguable.
-Backlund has his head down. Why are you going into the slot with your head down.
-Backlund still had the puck in the vicinity.

I thought Lomberg's response was sufficient for the hit. I believe Backlund will be playing on Saturday, and we will all move on.

Agreed. Not that bad
