The puck was being passed to him and he got hit before he played it/was able to.
Binary Code
How do I change that

No but seriously it doesn't look like a cheapshot from Bartkowski, just a check gone wrong. I don't know about his history so I can't speculate on a number of games.. my guess would be 2 just because we have to punish every headshot.

Absolutely zero history, we on the B's board are astounded he threw a relatively hard hit.

So then it's interference and the call the refs made (just checked the boxscre, 5+game for interference) was right
What a good hit! Not his fault Gionta is 5'3".
NHL will suspend him but shouldn't.
Is it victimhood if it's true, Rapidfire? Because I've literally seen it with my two eyes.
Thanks, come again.

The department felt the brunt of Bartkowski's elbow was absorbed by the chest, which caused the Buffalo winger’s head to snap forward.
Clean elbow to the chin.

Well there is also a minor penalty for interference which IMO would have been more appropriate but the hit looks bad in real time so I can't blame the officiating.
I say dirty hit, he Orpik'd him. Then he did the anti-Orpik and dropped the gloves with the bigger, more experienced fighter.

Well, interference for one. Gionta never touches the puck, hence the major penalty for interference. It's also a high hit.
Not really much to argue on this one. That's 2-3 games.

Is that suspend-able? I don't actually know if you can for a major interference like that assuming it's deemed clean.
I would say there is plenty to argue.
It was definitely a penalty but it isn't as cut and dry as you seem to think

There was a high camera angle that made it look primarily shoulder-to-shoulder, but there's definitely some head contact in there. Unfortunate outcome.
Would rather Bart sit out a few games, though. It'd be more punishment if the league forced him to play 30 minutes a game for the next three.

Eriksson got rocked never touching the puck without so much as a call last year. This time the puck is a bit further away but it isn't worth 5 minutes, let alone a suspension. Is it a high hit because Gionta is so small? Yes.

The major for interference was added a few years back specifically to address big, but otherwise clean hits that were interference. This seems to apply.
So yes, you can give a major for a hit that's otherwise clean but is interference. And any interference penalty is technically suspendable. I'm not sure if they will or not, but they can.

NESN just showed a better replay, there is some definite head contact. Doesn't look like direct contact and the elbow looks like it's only an after follow through. Could definitely see something, but I would bet 2 games at most.
