I think the issue is the people that say he should have got suspended, like the post citing NBC sports a few above this one.
Yeah - same situation as the Dumba hit IMO.

Unnecessary but not dirty.

Do you need to lay out a guy that hard with less than a minute left in a 2-3 goal game? No

Does that mean it's dirty or suspend-able? No

Would you expect the opposing team to be PO'd about the hit? 100% - Sharks are going to be pissed off much like the Flames were pissed off about Dumba's hit.

Agree 100% here that the issue is the media pushing for a suspension and whining about it.
