Either way, he popped his guy in the head, and you get suspended for that now. I think most people are ok with that.
But 8 playoff games seems like a pretty spicy suspension for what I saw.

“Mistiming” (“poor timing” in the rules) a hit and connecting with the head is also explicitly outlined as a physical foul.
Players are responsible for their bodies while on the ice, “intent to hit his head” does not apply and is irrelevant.
