Late hit from an almost, if not, blind angle on a player that already shot the puck. I don't like the term unsuspecting especially in the slot but the player was in a compromised position having just shot the puck.
Hey, I love big clean hits and don't think they should ever be taken out of the game. This wasn't a case of 'keep your head up'.
This was not a big clean hit that just happened to clip the player's chin. This was a cheap shot from a cheap shot artist.
