Sort of disagree there. I thought he got an elbow up to the head. And the inconsistency returns. Hope Green's okay, because in short succession he's gotten a puck to the temple and a elbow to the jaw.

I am fine with it. It was more of a follow through thing. A chicken wing if you will. It is very unfortunate for Green though, for sure.

It looked like payback for the cross check from behind into the boards a few seconds earlier. I don't think either play was suspension worthy. Hope Green gets well soon.

He's a Ranger. Colie has different rules for his old team.

I guess I just disagree because based on the rule it's contact with the head. I guess part of it was because it wasn't penalized.

OK, Bobby Mac to the rescue, he was fined. I guess that works, but I still think they have to implement an automatic head shot suspension.

A cross check into the boards and a head shot do not exactly incur the same view of officials....SMH...

I had an issue with it because he seemed to pretty clearly target Green (retaliation).
shows pre-meditation, if you will... so that's First-degree Elbowing.

This is the correct answer...

The refs need to be more consistant... some games they let plays go, and other games they call them...
