Quote from: CarltonTheBear on April 12, 2018, 11:28:03 AMHard to say with that replay. I was trying to find other angles but couldn't see any posted. Either way, that's a tough hit for me to judge. I don't think Doughty was targeting that head and if the timing was just a split second or even less different then it's just a clean shoulder to shoulder for sure. I want the league to crack down on head shots but I'm not sure that's one that I'd deem suspendable. Should have been a minor penalty though (it wasn't called).Yeah. Looks like he might have glanced off the shoulder first. Definitely doesn't look like he's targeting the head, so, probably not suspension worthy - maybe 1 game, just to be like "be more careful next time," but I think he gets away with a fine for being slightly careless.

Doughty gets a game.
