Obviously Columbus announcers. 1:06 you see the elbow on the head… it was there through the hit. It started up high, and as the Flyer guy went down, the elbow stayed with his face like it was planted there. Looking forward to see what the league says about it. I guess Seeler made him pay… NOT.
Elbow to the shoulder. Note that the NHL rulebook doesn't specify that the elbow has to hit the head to be a penalty. I think the 2-minutes was the appropriate call. Olivier doesn't hit Seeler's head, but his elbow needs to stay tucked right through contact like it is at 1:26 and not extended like it is at 1:29. It's not a major because the injury is due to the head into the glass which was just bad luck and not because of the elbow. Also, a lot of the result is due to Seeler changing his angle by stopping right before the hit, resulting in him bending down and turning.
Gotta love how ridiculously inconsistent the officiating is in this league. Tim Peel was publicly sacrificed for this crap. Lifts his arm and then has to save face by manufacturing a penalty on a textbook clean hit.
Hit looked good. Unfortunately the Flyers guys head hit the glass. 2 minutes is a perfect review. + a fight. Excellent. Pens fan who loves Olivier highlights.
Jody Shelley (CBJ color commentary) was exactly right – Andrae stopped skating right before the hit. That makes it look (at full speed) like Olivier charged him. If Andrae skates through and takes the check, it's a non-issue, shoulder to shoulder hit. That's why Olivier was incredulous right after the hit.

Penalty for embellishment. 😂

That was definitely not "shoulder on shoulder"
Where's Deslauriers?

Did Philly cut Deslauriers are what? Some needs to step up and give Olivier a beating that dude is the bully of the NHL right now.
The dumbass Flyers player turtled into the hit
Gotta love Seeler. Win lose or draw he’s all heart. Any team would be lucky to have him.
Seeler was what we call a sacrifice
Just a hard hit. Confused as how you call an elbowing penalty on a guy who has his arm tucked to his body on impact
Homer announcers. Clearly elbow to the head.
This trailer for 28 Years Later is not very good.
Clean hit. Anyone whining about that should just go watch the new girls league, they made it just for you …
Man Olivier is a different gravy
Typical Olivier , tries to fight Ristolinen lol
Big clean check!, what's the penalty for?, charging?.
He finished his check like everyone is taught.

Big clean hockey hit
Clean hit….
Looked pretty clean. Calling elbowing instead is kinda bull$hit.
Risto obviously didn't wanna go!
Horrible dogshit call
Feels like a deja vu
A clean hit and then a win in the fight, Olivier is a DAWG

might as well call every hit an elbowing penalty what is this
Clean hit, but he's a bum for going after a 5'8" rookie like that. Seeler may not be a great fighter, but he'll fight anyone.
