Parker Kelly suspended 2 games for hit on Andreas Englund

Kelly: Seriously DOPS?

Englund:

At least he didn't take a slapshot into empty net.

Parros: "Now, Mr. Kelly, you're going to have to... Park'er for 2 games because of that hit."

This Kelly kid seems like a complete skidmark of a player. Full headshot then looks at the refs like "why'd he throw me on the ice?"

2 games seems reasonable to me. The head contact was not as forceful as other illegal check to the head suspensions we’ve seen, but Kelly did clearly mess up his approach angle and hit nearly all head.

Yeah, pretty much this. Englund bobbled the puck a little bit, slowing down his trajectory, and Kelly failed to adjust.

It's clear Kelly had no intent to hit his head, as immediately he was apologetic but Englund was already fired up from the night and ragdolled Kelly there,

Not sure that warrants a dops call, but sure, whatever.

accident or not doesn't matter if it's a direct hesdshot

Very dirty definitely worth the 2 games

But he has a massive amount of legal body to hit and Kelly didn't leap into any of it.

They were both fortunate that Englund's skull appears to be made out of concrete.

Yeh no downplaying, just pointing out this Megamind over here.

It would've been nice if the on ice officials had taken the headshot more seriously and given him a 5. Englund retaliated with a ragdoll to the ice and they evened up. I'd love to see all headshots be a 4 min penalty.

Warranted. And the usual 2-gamer which seems to be the standard DOPeS suspension.

I know just because he didn’t get seriously hurt they made a lighter call. Not cool.

When i saw it live i called it a major penalty but of course it wasnt
