cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 5, 2010 From Globe and Mail : For the second time in less than three weeks, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has suspended one of its players indefinitely for elbowing an opponent in the head. And for the second time, the incident involves a former member of Team Canada's silver-medal-winning 2010 world junior team. Val d'Or Foreurs defenceman Marco Scandella has been suspended pending a disciplinary investigation into an elbow he dished out against Rimouski Océanic forward Alexandre Durette during the first period of a game Wednesday night. Replays show the two converging on a loose puck when Scandella catches Durette - who was lunging forward - with his left elbow and arm. The impact reportedly shattered Durette's protective visor and left him with a concussion and deep cuts to his face. No penalty was called on the play, but the Océanic sent a video to the league after the game. ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but I don't think the hit was as dirty as people are making it out to be. It didnt really look to me like the elbow came up that much if at all(from that angle anyways) and the other guy kinda leaned into Scandella reaching for the puck.

I tend to agree, although, the reply isn't really good enough to assess. Guy kinda stuck his arm and head out there to get the puck, that's the biggest reason I think. The guy that got suspended looks to be sticking his stick out to get the puck as well, however, I suspect he did throw his left arm up, but really hard to tell exactly what happened from that video.
