I agree.
I think the actual hit is technically OK as far the contact goes, outside of the distance travelled aspect of charging that has always been kinda vague... but to me it's the intent to light the player up regardless of if a goal was going to be scored + the resulting injury = dirty.
It's not cut and dry so I can see why there's such a debate about it, but I think the combination of everything makes it dirty.
