Are there any examples of where a player was going for a hard hit then in that split second do pull out of it?

Well I'm not suggesting he could have changed it up at the very last second, but he did have a lot of time to adjust (several seconds at least) while he was coming across the ice. He was coming in at such a bad angle that he had to have known that it was going to be a pretty dicey hit even if it had gone perfect. That's the "could have let up" I was suggesting at. Heck if he had taken an extra stride towards his own zone before throwing the shoulder it would have been much more of a "strait on" contact rather than coming in from the side so much.
No he didn't stick his knee out, I think the hit was a little low but not so bad that it was the problem. It was mostly just the fact that he came in from the side of Clutterbuck and clipped his legs because of it. Maybe not an obviously dirty hit but a stupid decision and a bad result nonetheless.
