Clean hit, only reason this seems questioning is because he keeps his head down, but if you can’t hit a player who has their head down then star players will keep their head down to be protected by the rules

Shoulder to cheek. Just like the tears you your cheek.

It looks clean. I wish there was another camera angle that showed them from straight on.

Almost every hit will look bad this slow. I would say clean, but closer to being a head hit than to being textbook

I didn’t see this full speed but this straight up looks like the montreal player skated head first into buddies shoulder

Clean hit all the way. Leads with the shoulder. I hate how all these wimps now invented a fake term “head shots”. If you don’t want “head shots” then keep you head up

Clean hit. It’s shoulder to shoulder. The fact that his own shoulder hits his own face doesn’t make it dirty. The other camera angles show this.

I wouldn’t consider this a clean shoulder to shoulder, but I also wouldn’t call a penalty for it either. Slafkovsky’s head was down and you can see he realizes he’s about to have a bad time when he tries to throw his hand up and twist away. Dickinson sets up for a shoulder to shoulder and at this angle it looks like it would’ve landed fine but 20 didn’t keep his head up to meet the hit like he should have. tldr; it looks like he clocked homie on accident, I wouldn’t say this is a dirty play.

Slaf is reaching and leaning forward, puts himself in a bad spot. I know Montreal fans want to call this dirty, but it’s going to happen when you do what Slaf did
