As a Pens fan I say it is clean. Some douchebag Pens fans say Sutton left his feet, I don't see it. Yes he hit him with his elbow, but it was tucked. Thoughts?

All I gotta say is that I'm glad I wasn't him, lol.

It certainly wasn't a clean hit with his shoulder. That elbow wasn't tucked completely, either. I would have called him for elbowing.

It came out late, as he was losing his balance (or at least it looks like it). If I have one gripe about it, I would say that he should have went through w/ the hip check. It was borderline no doubt.
~and the dude is 6'8" where do you want his elbow to be?

It was a good hit. Sutton is just a huge truck really and Leopold was looking down at the puck. It's just unfortunate that it knocked Leopold out of the game and possibly the series.

Are you an expert? LOL

"Head was down"

Sutton's elbow did extend, but after the hit. He certainly didn't lead with it. When you make that kind of impact you are going to push off a little to keep your balance. Kind of like when Neil hit Drury a few years ago. Sabre fans went ballistic because after Drury was already unconscious, Neil's arm moved away from his body.

Nothing illegal about this hit.

clean as could be. His elbow was down and he didn't leave his feet until after the hit. Keep your head up and things like that don't happen

I remember Eric Lindros getting hit like that when he was with the Flyers a long time ago.

Same thing he should have done: Keep your head up.
