I fail to see from this angle what was illegal about the hit @ the :50 mark. The contact on that hit was from shoulder to elbow, there was no extension and they were both skating counter-clockwise. If there was any type of illegal motion on this at all, the most that should have been called on that would have been a major. This certainly did not warrant an expulsion.

@gargos29 I don't know, the contact looks like elbow to face, when I use 1080p @ full zoom on a 30", the whole crowd kinda saw it and responded to what looked like a flying derby girl headed facefirst into a suddenly extended elbow

@TrinaryOuroboros Clearly then, screen size and resolution are no compensation for a pause button. Pause the action @ 50 seconds and there's no mistaking that this elbow is making contact with her face.... if her face is where her waist/kidney is. The crowd is reacting to a great, solid hit.

@gargos29 I see :52 yes on closer inspection you're right, failboat on that

[TrinaryOuroboros]

@gargos29 ah very cool

@TrinaryOuroboros It's all good. I just hate to see somebody ejected who doesn't deserve to be. This video was brought to my attention by the person ejected and I was curious what they did that could have caused them to get tossed. There's an important lesson to be learned from this bout/video. Hard hits don't always equal illegal hits.
