Matheson didn't target his head, to me it was two guys tangled up and Matheson outmuscled him and threw him down. I would honestly say it wasn't all that dirty, there wasn't a slew foot, Matheson was the physically stronger player and took advantage of it.
To me its a roughing penalty. If a hit like that happened with Johnny, and he does get outmuscled a lot, its still a two minute penalty. Matheson also avoided a pretty easy destroyer hit from behind so I doubt the story line that he was upset about being deked out.
Like I said 2 minutes, and if a Canuck decides to fight him, that's about it. But lets not making it out to be some kind of disgustingly dirty piece of head hunting. Pettersson was outmuscled and it looked worse then the play actually was.
