"guys don't be homers about this hit it was complete shoulder to head comment"

complete page of Canadian fans immediately being homers...

yes Schneider is tall... no, headshots are NOT legal... at any professional level.

If Don Cherry was still on the air, he’d spend the intermission griping about defencemen who lunge the blade of their sticks on incoming shooters.

Ultimately I think they send a lot more over the glass than they do in the net.
 
Fully understand why he was removed from the game based on the hit and the rules, it’s just unfortunate because I don’t think there was intent there, it was strictly a size difference that caused that

There was no upwards momentum to the hit though and I think you are over looking that. The key factor is the height difference of the two players or that is a shoulder on shoulder hit.
The rule specifically says that the onus of not making head contact is on the hitter - the height of the player being hit is irrelevant. You’re overlooking that.
 
I honestly think Byram is very over rated. Every game I catch he is not good.
 
I can’t believe how many people think that’s “dirty”. For international hockey yeah sure it’s a penalty all day but that’s a good hockey hit.

only hit his head because he’s way bigger. Blame the pass

Any hit, where the primary point of contact is the head, is not a good hockey hit.
