I understand that fully; head is the principal point of contact but was not directly targeted. I just recall from watching Shanahan's videos that the player performing the hit should try to stop and less the impact if the receiving player is in a vulnerable position, which Jakub was, but happened to coincidentally lower his head and happened to make contact with Kronwall's shoulder, smack dab on the dot. I just didn't like how Kronwall lined him up real good took a stride foward and then turned to his back / side.
