The Chara hit was a clean one, it was just extremely poor fortune and timing that the hit happened where it did. Blame the designers who put that stantion there, not Chara

How can an illegal hit be clean?Chara had no business touching Pach.Interference resulting in in injury can't be considered "clean",can it?
-
Because there are plays which earn a penalty and plays which are dirty, and there's not much overlap.
Think of it this way: It's an illegal play to haul someone down, but if they're about to score a goal, it's a smart play to do so.
Now what if, by freak accident, his throat gets sliced open by an errant skate? Is it suddenly a dirty play?

That is the slippery slope the NHL could be heading for. I totally understand what you're saying.however,Chara guided him into the turnbuckle whereas your example is a freak accident.If you interfere with a player and "guide" him into danger,then it becomes a dirty play imo. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent.
