I liked how you avoided the question,
I will rephrase,
What do you think happens to someone who is skating at a high rate of speed, and they are pushed in the chest stopping all forward momentum of the upper body, yet the lower body remains untouched and continues forward at a high rate of speed....
Ready....go.
You can’t push on a rope. A fourth-year engineering school professor told me that most of engineering could be reduced to two things: F=ma, and you can’t push on a rope.
They would rotate much like Granlund did.
Your turn...

Pushing requires body position
Here is a really old piece of advice (not mine...old as the hills and older than the link would indicate)

Buff is a known reckless player... so even some simple interference can end badly. This is one of those cases.
lol at the physics quotes.
A couple of you are forgetting about something called friction
Pushing requires body position, so then....if you agree that Buff pushed on him, in essence, you are saying that Buff had body position...and in the rule that YOU quoted, it said that it is not a penalty to make a strength move based off of body position....
So based off of the rule that YOU quoted, it is not a penalty for holding...
Got it....
Yes. I didn't have a problem with that element of it.
The push did not cause Granlund to upend. It was the restraining force.

Whether or not you guys understand physics at all, you're doing a relatively poor job of applying it to make your point. I don't even get why you're trying to portray this as holding as opposed to interference. Interference already implies that there has been restraint/impedance outside of the rules.
And "pushing" doesn't require any particular body position, btw. A cross-check is a push with the stick, and it doesn't matter if you're in front of, behind, or beside (or above or below, for that matter) the person you do it to, nor if one person is standing still while the other skates by with velocity/momentum.
Buff got an arm in front of Granlund enough to slow him down, and give Buff a chance to turn a bit and push right through Grandlund's centre of gravity, allowing him to take the much smaller Granlund right off his feet as he tried to squeak through the check along the boards. 2 minutes for interference. End of story.
Bingo. As of yet, I haven't read a single explanation of how this would have been an illegal play if Granlund had control of the puck.
Show me where it states in the NHL rules that this would've been an illegal play. I'll wait.
Those darn vectors again...the push was towards the boards and did not upend Granlund.
The debate is whether what Buff did would be illegal if Granlund had the puck
is he now? Give me one example

Nice, a good ol HF Physics argument
If the Bortuzzo hit on Jagr is late, so is this.
Wild fan here, no doubt it was interference which was properly called...My biggest beef is that there was no response mainly because they have no one who has the mindset to do so. Wild are the softest team (& probably one of the smallest) in the league which is death in the West when already LAK, STL, ANA can grind teams into dust.
Not anymore. You are probably thinking of a few years ago.
