Would you feel the same way if Hjalmarsson had decided to take out Rattie's knee instead of driving his shoulder into Rattie's head? IMO, just because a guy is skating with his head down, it doesn't mean he deserves in any way to be be the victim of an illegal hit.
Rattie was 100% responsible for leaving himself open to be hit, but Hjalmarsson was 100% responsible for delivering the hit to the head instead of leveling him with a clean hit.
