Berglund literally intentionally turns his back to the play to go after Chytil, it was 100% intentional
Berglund Headshot on Chytil

Some say…
Great hit! Berglund stayed down and through the body, and caught him admiring his pass. It’s not even worth an interference penalty. I mean seriously, Chytil passed the puck maybe what 10 feet? And he got hit before that pass could even get there. That’s not late
It’s post worthy, but only because it was an awesome hit

Do we not know that the player is still live for a second after getting rid of the puck? Berglund hits him around a full Mississippi after Chytil passes the puck. Pretty sure Chris Neil’s hit on Drury back in the day was later than that and it was deemed clean.
However the head is the principle point of contact, even if he didn’t target the head. So this should be a maximum fine or 1-2 games. I don’t think berglund has any track record.

Confirmed on Rangers post game broadcast the league is reviewing the hit. Chytil left the game for 15 minutes for the mandatory concussion protocol.

The player is absolutely NOT eligible to be hit after releasing the puck a second later, not sure where you made that up from. Usually they give a .2-.3 second grace period on a major hit and allow minor nothing hits. Not lining a guy up after he passes the puck. It’s a avoidable hit.

That’s what I’m thinking you don’t remember his break away his tipped shot from the point, his one timer, among others he was steady as a rock also defensively. Such a presence. What do you expect him to do he’s 18 a dman coming to a team that isn’t great defensively getting used to the small ice and had had to play two teams who were extremely aggressive on the forecheck this far, both coming off losses which fueled their tank.
He hasn’t been overly great but he’s been very good.
Third comment about that wasn’t that bad. A bit off but nah.
The sad thing is I’ve been clean for four years (that’s not the sad part)and that was a sober post (that was)

From what I’ve seen on the videos, timing between puck release and the hit was fine, it’s not interference or a late hit.
It does look like Chytils head was the main point of contact. Berglund has a suspension heading his way in my opinion.
Haven’t looked up Berglunds suspension history, but if this is his first I’d expect 2-4 games.

Didn't look predatory but could still get some time off.
Yeah cause Berglund has gotten 4 suspensions in the last calendar year.

Not at all.
The things Wilson has done are appalling and the reactions to it are entirely fair.
This hit is maybe a 2 min penalty. Definitely not a headshot.
A lot of Blues fans' criticism of Berglund was that he wasn't as physical and didn't use his size as much as he could have. He's still playing this way. It was a shot to the head, but it's just really unfortunate timing. Bergie is in good position to defend Chytil but he passes and turns getting very low into Berglund's shoulder. Chytil has more say in where Berglund's shoulder lands here. Which is not to say it is his fault, it's just unfortunate timing.

OP is just a homer who doesn't like seeing his player hit.
Should have been a penalty but it isn't that bad. Don't know why this a thread.

I think he will get a short suspension. Its late and head is the main point of contact. Its a body check by Berglund but to the head of Chytil, not very dirty but no need to do it when Chytil doesnt have the puck.

He hit him below the head from what I can see, and it only looks somewhat bad or worse than it is, because Berglund is taller. Big deal if it was no puck or not, because if you were posting it because of that reason, than you are starting a thread because of a missed interference call. Interference is a penalty, that doesn't make it dirty!
Point of contact was also Berglund's elbow to Chytil midsection.

Most Sabres fans would be happy to see Berglund sit for a while, but that hit doesn't even rate a fine.

The only reason Chytil took any of that to the face was because he turned at the last second and he was leaning forward. With that being said, the head was only barely the principle point of contact. It's obvious Berglund was trying to put his body into Chytil's chest. If Chytil isn't bent over like that, then it's simply a body shot.
