What Resolute said, but I've seen that penalty called for someone who just really violently checks a player into the boards, even though it's a "clean" hit. The penalty is meant for a referee's discretion to use when they view something that is more an intent to injure than a hockey play.
I don't have a problem with the call. Hockey is a physical game, but that doesn't necessitate it being an overtly violent game.
