You're allowed to drive upwards into a hit, in fact its really the best way to hit. It was not an illegal hit, only dirty in the sense that it was a bit predatory and unnecessary at that point of the game. That being said, if Backlund isn't staring at his laces he would easily have avoided that. Hopefully he is OK.
