The media should be ashamed for sensationalizing something out of nothing.

This wasn't a defensive move in his part. He was skating slowly towards the bench, the linesman wasn't moving, he suddenly exploded into him. I get that he was probably dazed and may not have realized it was a linesman, but it was an aggressive move and possibly suspension worthy if it had been a player.
