AA is 6'4... it's a clear headshot, both refs raised their arms instantly.
And he’s 6’7 and AA was hunched over a bit. I’m just saying idk that it was a match penalty worthy. On the one replay I saw elbow made contact with his chest then he kinda followed through and got the head. Penalty yes 100%, 5 yea I guess because that’s the league now a days head contact equals 5, match? Idk that I see it that way. Just didn’t see it as a blatant headshot was all I was sayin
 
Makes me appreciate what we had with Nicky. A smart, responsible two-way center with laser-like focus when he had the puck on his stick.
Nicky's play reminds me this gif

Pretty clear to me. Gets 100% of the head and 2% of the body. He lined up AA's head and drove right through.

He did get his head agreed don’t think it was targeted at all though. When I say this I’m not at all blaming AA but if AA skates straight and it’s a hit on a player with his head down. AA very slightly comes from the boards to the goal line not much at all but I’m thinking that’s where the head contact comes from.
 
That 5 minute PP was just the worst. Even the goal they scored wasn't really the product of a power play, it just happened during the PP lol.

As a Caps fan I'd be less concerned about the "fairness" of Oleksiak getting thrown out of the game and more concerned about how bad AA's concussion is....
 
The Caps definitely fired the rebounds right into Grubby, but that was a huge first save on the pass from Ovie and then a real display in strength and awareness from Grubs to hold that position without overplaying his angle or falling over.
