Soupy squared up umberger right on his chest with his shoulder pad.

The only head hit came when umberger fell backwards onto the ice.

From the camera angles you can't really tell either way, my point being, that a shoulder to the head is possible on body checks, as long as you don't leave your feet, or drive the man through the boards with your shoulder it's a legal and clean hit.

It wasn't a dirty hit, it wasn't an overly aggressive hit, it's a hockey hit.

The hit on Roy wasn't much different. It just so happens he's only about 5'7, where as Umberger has the good fortune of being 6'3

****edit***

Freeze Frame at 21 seconds...looks like a shoulder pad on the chin to me

Your head doesn't snap backwards on contact, it snaps forward then back if you're hit in the chest
