Mike Ribeiro hit on Michal Handzus

Check out this hit by Mike Ribeiro on Michal Handzus? Was it a shoulder to shoulder hit or was it a hit to the head? What do you think? I think It looks like Ribeiro hits Handzus shoulder to shoulder but follows through with the elbow and catches Handzus in the head... I think it's funny how the refs rescue Ribeiro before any of the Kings players can get their hands on him.
