Every roughing call basically can be defined as a some sort of intent to injure and or feeling pissed because someone made you look foolish, for those people going to that extreme on this.
As mentioned, if he lands on his ass or back and doesn't hit his head, which are just as likely scenarios for this hit, which is very common, or if that's Garnet Hathaway taking the hit, it's barely mentioned in a game thread.
It's a hit, a rougher follow through on a slighted framed guy, who unfortunately hits his head, but not intent to injure by Matheson.

Agree - its a roughing call. Doesn't mean that the Canucks should be happy with a 2 min. powerplay in exchange for their star player being roughed-up. The players on the ice need to address Matheson themselves.
