Phaneuff didn't crush him. The severity of the hit was the cause of the velocity of the play. At the speed Okposo was going, even a standing Phaneuff would result in a big collision.
I'm surprised at the outcry this particular incident. But I think the outcry has more to do with it being Phaneuff rather than the hit itself.
