Obviously none of us liked how the hit turned out, but at the speed of the game, I don't think Dumba could have reacted much differently. Certainly no intent on his part other than to deliver a solid hit. Backlund's body position had a lot to do with the outcome.

I don't believe it was a dirty hit.
However he most definitely made contact with the head.
He also left his feet.. (i.e after the hit).
I bet this hit is reviewed by the league.
Its not a good hit, any time contact is made with the head.
I would also bet Backlund has a concussion
