But if Backlund has his head turned, it's a blindside hit and it would have been viewed as dirty.
I don't get why a head down means its not dirty, but a head turned means it is.
In both cases, the player can't see the hit coming.
I mean, I know you shouldn't skate through the middle of the ice with your head down, but come on.
