I guess it depends if it's going to cost the club money to get it reviewed and also if the club feel it's worth asking for their players to be protected. It was a pretty reckless check. Casey was injured on the play and didn't return for the rest of that period although he did play the rest of the game and didn't seem affected by it. |

Its probably worth a review, but it would be better if the league reviewed all checks to the head etc as a matter of course.
Would save any mucking about for teams.
Interesting to hear Thommo on Sky last week, he said "there's a review panel apparantly" but it sounded very tongue in cheek, in otherwords, then only review when or if told too. Should be something thats done for all major penalties, with additional reviews investigated if missed by the match night officials

Not a thing wrong with that. Even a penaly was a bit harsh.

Lol, do you even know the rules? From the IIHF rules, a check to the head is defined as; "A player who directs a check or blow, with any part of his body or equipment to the head and neck area of an opposing player or "drives" or "forces" the head of an opposing player into the protective glass on boards" Limpwright puts his hands/arms up and makes contact with Casey's face. If it wasn't a check to the head, how did he come of the ice with his nose bleeding? You also contradict yourself by the saying the penalty (which was for a check to the head) is correct, despite saying that it wasn't a check to the head  |

Personally, if a player is shorter than another player and checks them normally (without clear intent, excessive violence, usual other rules etc) then I dont see why it should be called. Should someone be effectively uncheckable because they are a smurf in a league of big boys? I say they play at their own risk. Haven't seen the footage and cant watch as i'm at work, but if it's anything like the Tom Sestito incident earlier in the season, then i'd agree it was an extremely harsh penalty. |

The player making the check must surely adjust how they deliver the check depending upon the position of the player receiving the check anyway, so that the check is within the rules of the game. Not checking someone in the head is just another adjustment to be made by the "checker" regardless of the size of the "checkee". Another such adjustment would be not checking from behind. |

Casey is small but there was no need for Limpwright to raise his hands. He had plenty of time to pull out of the check or adjust his position, I think he had a rush of blood to the head after missing an opportunity out front.
The rules make no mention of height difference and rightly so.

Leading with his arms/elbows up at his own face height makes it pretty clear what his intentions were. If he is checking properly his arms would be down and he would be leading with the shoulder. The arms normally come up after contact is made, they are not the principle point of contact.
The fact remains he hit Casey at head height and caused injury so it should, have been a match as per the IIHF Rules.

Just watched it.
Not the best check in the world but far from being the worst
