At first I thought Orpik jumped into it but changed my mind after seeing the replay. I too think he brought his elbow up juuuuust a bit but he didn't follow through with the lift. However...Boyles head was the prime point of contact. The question is did Boyle endanger himself? I don't think he did but by the same token I don't think it can be shown to be an intentional hit to the head. It's a tough sport played by rough men.
