Still didnt answer the question 😂
It was a body check to a player with his head down. If he was not bent over it would've been straight through the chest. It's, as another poster said, a body check with indecental head contact due to the skater's body positioning. Therefore, not a head shot. No.

Refs agreed and gave an interference penalty.

On the other hand, I'm really surprised that they give him as much attention as they do considering how the NHL doesn't like fighting in the game

They are all hypocrites is why. The same people that cry about how dirty some teams are or that fighting is bad for the game cream their pants when this stuff happens because it’s entertaining.

To be fair, a situation that is interference vs one where you have the puck is different and should probably be interpreted differently.

If someone was bent over and skating and someone just hit them in the head, that's a hit to the head.

Classic FLA period. They're doing a good job of throwing the other team off their game both physically and mentally. NYR need to realize interference is being largely allowed and a certain amount of rough stuff is fine. Playoff style reffing. FLA so built for the playoffs.
