We have a winner
it's probably a mute point, given the obvious conflict of interest (given that they represent the victim (Pyatt) and the accused (Miller)), but do the NHLPA do nothing to advocate for less concussions on dirty plays? (i.e. by asking for suspensions or fines on dirty plays?)

I haven't seen the hit yet, but it seems that the only people calling it dirty are Sens fans.
Is there a video of it somewhere?

I thought it was a good clean hit but it just looked like Pyatt wasn't expecting the defenceman to come back up at him & got clocked or got his bell rung. Ding ding ding, there is ringing in his ears. Can you still use those expressions today?
Nowhere near to being clean. He didn't even touch the puck. That is textbook interference. You may be in a timewarp but that is not only a penalty, but could face supplemental discipline if he has a concussion.
There was no penalty called on the play & the ref was right there, you see hits like that in the corner a hundred times a game whether they touch the puck or not there is contact behind the net. I think Pyatt got hurt because he wasn't expecting it. I doubt he gets suspended or even called by the league.
