via the Dallas Stars Blog,
Stars forward Mark Parrish put his head down to control a pass from Brian Sutherby when he was blindsided by hard charging Jay McKee at center ice. The highlilght reel hit sent Parrish crumbling to the ice. He got to his knees, tried to get up but instead waited for assistance.

I’m glad Sutherby came over and defended his teammate. I’d have beat McKee senseless.

Hits to the head happen. It would be impossible not to have them moving this fast.
Elbows are not part of the game.

Cheap shot. His elbow/forearm was all up in Parrish’s face.

The super-slow-mo sequences show that McKee didn’t raise his arm/elbow or leave his feet until after the hit. And the hit clearly started out in Parrish’s chest area because McKee lowered his body to make the hit. It ain’t pretty. And maybe McKee didn’t have to take advantage of Parrish’s lack of focus, but it was a legal hit.
As Mickey Redmond likes to say, “Keep your head up at all times, boys and girls.”

Kudos to Sutherby for answering to his suicide pass. His guy got laid out on his poor decision, and he did the right thing.
And the arm/elbow was not up before the hit, Momentum makes the arm come up after contact. It happens a lot, and it can look a little dirty at normal speed, but that hit was all shoulder.
Now did he leave his feet? At the last instant, YES, but also not uncommon. He should have been given a 2 minute charging penalty for it. Just because there was no penalty called doesn’t always mean a hit was totally “clean”.

I slowed it down and watched it a couple times, watch McKee’s elbow. I’m not a stars fan but I don’t like that hit one bit. Yet another blow to the head. These guys kill me, where I come from a true hit in that situation would have been a big shoulder to the chest .
