It's always a head hunt when the captain of the opposition is on the boards with the puck and you've got a shot at a hit.
He was looking to make a big hit and make it hurt (like he should) but I don't think he was looking to take him out with a bad hit.
You can surely understand that. I've played plenty of hockey. We don't hit, but I've been penalized a number of times for getting into a quick decision situation and not having the skills to not hit a dude. It's never the intent, but it happens.
If I'm in the NHL and I see dude on the boards and I can rough him up with a nice hit, I'm in for it. I'm going to slam his arse into the boards as much as I possibly can and make him aware I'm there when he has the puck. I just don't see how that could ever be considered bad when the situation is like it was.
The result of the play matters when it comes to discipline, and he got a misconduct. I just don't think it was "dirty."

It's on Seabrook to avoid making first contact upwards through a defenseless player's head in this situation. Seabrook knows this and Seabrook has the talent to slow. The fact that he instead left his feet through the hit makes it very obviously dirty.
