I'm guessing it's about then having to issue all kinds of suspensions for incidental contact. Which assumes that Kunitz' lifting of the elbow on a fly-by was incidental.
I bet if you ask players what's dirty, they don't talk about the obvious "took a run at the guy" checks into the boards or open ice hits. Those normally result in someone answering the bell. I bet they have a greater dislike for the sneaky "tried to get away and look innocent" stuff. The sneaky jabs with sticks, slewfoots, elbows, etc.
