You seem confused as to what the rule is.
Rule 41 - Boarding 41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently in the boards. The severity of the penalty, based upon the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee.
It was shoulder to shoulder a few feet from the boards launching him into a dangerous and vulnerable position (head first) into the boards.
Boarding.
