Yes a recent elbowing attempt by... idk let's say for privacy sake is Jacob T... no that's too obvious... let's say J. Trouba, inspired this but can the NHL in the CBA suspend someone for intent that wiffs if the refs miss it. Like a more extreme example is swinging your stick at a head that is missed or taking off your skate to stab someone

Definitely following. Curious, especially for the blatant elbow attempt followed by the (unintentional) skate to the back of the helmet that could have ended very, very badly.

I remember Lupul trying to decapitate Sedin and missing. Ended up hitting Kadri (own teammate) with the flying elbow after Sedin ducked out of the way. I was shocked there was no suspension considering it was a reckless play.
