There is the slightest amount of head contact. Maybe like a high stick, you grant the argument that it was a natural reaction to snap the head away from the contact like that, but it's a tough sell. Either way, bad call by the refs.
this is not much in the way of head contact, though it absolutely should have been a charging penalty due to him leaving his feet for the check. so, i don't agree with the specific call that was made, but there should have been a penalty on this play regardless so, i guess it all comes out in the wash.

Hits to the head are reffed very differently game to game
His head hit the back of the dude's back…I'm impressed with how that was pulled off…NOT!

Tempe did the same think 2 weeks ago, get taller…

Great sell by Blankenburg
Not a headshot, but he left his feet, although that's not really called all that often.
And that is why we Ducks fans refer to them as the PreDivers.
Blanenburg seems to have made a habit out of embellishing hits to the head
Another embarrassment call by the zebras

Blankenburg would be better off playing soccer.
LOL. Clean hockey check
