Nope, John "puck to the face" Mitchell:
oh god.
He got a puck to the face against Columbus, had to get 10 stitches, came back in the 3rd period and scored lol. Cue San Jose commentators complimenting how awesome of a hockey player he was and how great he looked for 2mins after he got a penalty and they showed him in the box.

Solid analysis.
Not unless you're Kronwall.

After spending the whole first intermission talking about the hit, Colorado commentators now spend the second intermission... analyzing the hit some more.

Phil Kessel looks like an old man....

Yea, but like we say every year (despite my protests) if you hit a guy in the head even if he wasn't looking up, you're the bad guy.
But sounds like a 15 year old.

Rangers signing Arnott. Good luck getting him to show up for practice.
I don't think Landeskog put himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneously with the hit. He made himself vulnerable, but did so a good few seconds in advance of the hit. This puts the onus on Stuart to not target his head, but the head clearly was the principal point of contact.
So in my view that makes it an illegal check to the head under the new rules. It wasn't an elbow, or charging, but still illegal.

Make sure you keep your heads down kids! That way you can blame the other guy!

Please find me where in the rulebook it says that if a hit to the head is okay if someone has their head down.
Nowhere? Oh, hey. Look at that!

If a guy has his head down and you make contact its not an illegal hit....
The NHL has taken more and more responsibility away from the puck carrier.
You can blame him, but even if he gets suspended he'll still have a career while you might be be facing early retirement and a life of constant headaches till the day you shoot yourself in the chest and donate your brain to science.
So keeping your head up is still a good idea.
We're usually ridiculously bad against you though. The Sedins always seem to have our number.

Perry didn't give you it. You already had it from your first PP onwards! We're like Colorado right now... Get on the PK, get scored on.
He would be attempting to observe the injury on his nose.
Wouldn't quite say that. He was in the process of getting knocked over while swiping at the puck.
Gomez has been setting up all kinds of stuff, Burish and Desi can't finish.
he was still maybe 20cm or a quarter of a second away from scoring.
This kid is so helpless, it's great. Kessel wouldn't have any problem finding Frosted Flakes.
... He... needs to find a grocery store? in BOSTON? How many grocery stores can there be, a couple hundred? thousand?

Busy week for me. Couldn't watch CBJ lose against two teams they should've beat. Here's to hoping we pull off an upset tonight.

Kessel would have plenty of Frosted Flakes.

It shouldnt be anything wrong with that hit. I can see that the initial point of interest might be valid if you come from the side and hits a guy in the head while you could just as well gone for his shoulder, but if he approaching straight on you have to be able to deliver a shoulder hit.

Impossible, he's salty about everything.
