More of a freak play then anything else on the Davis hit saw the replay and there was contact no doubt but the contact was more high chest then the head area and the momentum spin him into a bad angle. Or at least from the replay it showed that.Per HC Greg Walters post-game - It's not Davis' head, looks like an upper body injury. They're still waiting on reports and don't know a lot right now. But, they don't think it's as bad as it looked.
It didn’t look aggressive or like there was malice, I’m surprised he got a 5 and a game. Davis kinda leaned down into em, he got his hands up and didn’t really drive him into the boards but kinda followed him until he went down. Agreed, freak play. Without the game misconduct on a player being stretchered off maybe the refs are worried about guys trying to police the game themselves. It looked like a hockey play that just kinda went weird.More of a freak play then anything else on the Davis hit saw the replay and there was contact no doubt but the contact was more high chest then the head area and the momentum spin him into a bad angle.

If he was in open ice and not along the boards likely would more knocked the wind out of him then anything.
Never I nice thing to see a player get hurt on any team but odd plays happen and players get caught in odd positions Davis happened to be the unlucky player who was on the receiving end of bad circumstance.
