I keep thinking back to that hit Valimaki made leading to a Neal goal. This could have been the exact same hit and accomplish much better results (Dumba wasn't even thinking about where the puck went).

You have to drive upwards to counter momentum. It’s not malicious, it’s physics.
Here’s a good example, similar point of contact, Gio almost flat footed though and he still pops up into the air.
