From a LOGICAL point of view (not that I have to capatalize that word in this section, right?)?
Was the Hjalmarsson hit on Pominville dirty?

(sorry, best video on youtube right now.)
I keep thinking back to the Kronwall hit on Havlat.
Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QZ10FQ16PQ&feature...
I have made clear on questions here that I do NOT think the Kronwall hit is dirty. And from the same logic (or maybe to some, lack there of), I do not think the Pominville hit is dirty. Neither Kronwall or Hjalmarsson left their feet. The puck was there, granted neither Havlat nor Pominville played it, but both intentions had to, and the puck was just about on their stick. Havlat put himself in danger by taking his eyes off Kronwall, and Pominville was turning himself into the boards right as Hjalmarsson was about to hit him, nothing Hjalmarsson could do at the time.
But that's the way I see it.
So, was the Hjalmarsson hit on Pominville dirty? I say no, but I'm curious to what you guys think.

I don't like the hit so much on Pominville solely because it came from behind.
I would agree with you on the Kronwall hit - Havlat took his eyes off Kronwall and clearly intended to play the puck.
I wouldn't say either hit was dirty, though.

Pominville may have touched the puck on the play but I'm not 100% on it though if he hadn't it would be interference as the Kronwall hit was. I don't blame Kronwall for making the hit but Havlat didn't touch the puck and based on the rulebook he never had possession of the puck so it was interference.
