Lucic sums it up pretty well - starting at 4:20
(Paraphrasing)
"They made eye contact and he knew I was coming, there is responsibility on the hitter not to hit someone in a vulnerable position, and i have had guys thank me on the ice for not finishing a check on them, but there is also a responsibility to not put yourself in a vulnerable position."
Bonus game - drink every time he says vulnerable.
