Its a tough call. I agree Kronwall not only turned into McLeod, but he also dropped down so his head was closer to the dasher. Unlike laflopiere he doesnt extend his arms, but the first angle looks like he moves his elbow to catch his head. I think hes screwed though. The league will say he saw the numbers and should have let up because the play started at center ice, he knew he wasnt going to beat him to the puck and could have just pinched on the boards right behind him to I prevent the reverse, but its a bang bang play. The fact is he hit him from behind, he made no effort to play the puck, and from the moment Kronwall starts to stop its clear McLeods intent is to check Kronwall. He sets his body up to make the hit. If kronwall doesnt turn into him and just rims to puck around its likely a harmless hit from behind.
