Yeah, I think he was more trying to hit him shoulder to shoulder but the blues player leaned into it a little which helped catch him in the head. It's borderline but adds ammo to those who thinks Kaleta is a dirty player and just will make the refs watch him even more closely than they are now. Even clean hits are getting called as penalties.

dirty pool, but it doesnt look like he had intent to injure. kaleta plays borderline, so its inevitable that some of his antics will cross the line.

It was a dirty hit, and I hate to talk bad about King Kaleta round here, but it wasn't the first time he's done something with the intent to injure.

He really, really needs to watch himself. He's already the most hated player around the league, or if not, very close to it. People are going to take every opportunity to take him out. And with a history of concussions already in his young career (at least two I can think of, plus the "neck" injury from the shot to the head earlier this month), he could be putting his career in jeopardy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the game completely in another couple years due to brain injuries. I hope it doesn't happen, but I just feel something bad coming from the way his career has progressed to this point.
