He gave him a little extra english on a hit along the boards. Pettersson is 6'0" and about 110 pounds. Any other player in the NHL just absorbs that extra shove. Pettersson shatters. I don't consider it "dirty". Watch the extra shoves and punches around the net any night that nobody considers dirty. Some guys (*cough* Tkachuk *cough*) take a beating every night and don't complain about it.
To me this seems like Green is looking for some sympathy from the refs in the next few games. Gamesmanship, nothing more.

Ridiculous. If Gaudreau gets slammed like that we'd be calling for Matheson's head too.
