If this was reversed, fans would be crying murder that a player did it twice in one game. Sure, it's not a good position to put yourself in on the second hit, but it's not even close to an excuse for Pospisil to be a complete jerk and potentially put someone's long term health in jeopardy.
You can't drive a car down the road assuming a pedestrian won't cross infront of you at the crosswalk. You certainly don't go at someone full tilt on the ice assuming they will turn at the last second either.
