What’s his status? That was a dirty hit regardless of what the reffs said.

Not sure, doubt he returns tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not too bad and he returns soon enough.

He returned the next series after the Vegas hit and that one was worse

Dirty?

Since when did clean shoulder to shoulder hits, become dirty?

Was it a tad late? Sure. I can absolutely concure and agree to that.

Should Hartman have been called for high-sticking, after his stick made contact with Pavs on the way down? Probably.

But the only contact that matters is the one where Pavs head hits the ice and inturn causes the injury to him. The hit by Dumda is completely clean otherwise. He caught him shoulder to shoulder and stayed on his skates through the hit. He only left his skates once he fell after hitting the wall himself.

That doesn't make the hit dirty.

So there's not one thing there that can state unequivocally that the hit was dirty. So please tell me how that it could have been. Because I'm not seeing it.

He kneeled down and pushed off into him. I disagree and think he was going for a kill shot trying to take Pavelski out and succeeded. But that could be my bias towards Pavelski.
And DOPS is talking about a suspension so we can let the guys who know the rules have the final say.
