I dunno, saying it's irrelevant kind of implies that whether his head is down or not doesn't matter. It's a tough line. Hitting someone with their head down will almost always result in hitting them in the head just by the nature of body positioning. So are they supposed to let anyone with their head down just skate around? Again, the hit is dumb, but I don't think having his head down is irrelevant. Hjallmersson made a bad choice, but Rattie could have prevented the whole scenario. It's not something that should be ignored IMO. Young players need to realize how they should be protecting themselves against people doing stupid crap.
