Video: Mike Green's elbow on Brett Connolly

Found March 08, 2012 on Lightning Hockey Blog:
PLAYERS: Brett Connolly,  Dmitri Orlov
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Lightning


Mike Green elbows a defenseless Brett Connolly who was already pinned to the boards by Dmitri Orlov. Brutal elbow by Green to Connolly's head. Connolly did skate off on his own and no penalty was called on the play.

What a dumb decision by Mike Green to do. I guess it's not like he knows what it feels like to get a concus--- oh wait... he does.

Even though no penalty was called, I can't see Mike Green not getting a suspension from Shanahan.
