I think the hit is clean, but I don't like the upward motion. It's a borderline charge, but the video does not prove that booth skates leave the ice, and if they do at some point, it is not possible to prove that it was not as a result of the hit. Therefore I have to give Juulsen the benefit of the doubt.
That actually looks pretty clean. He definitely made a change to his course to ensure he didn’t make head contact, or knee contact. Coronato’s knee buckles weirdly from the hit, but I don’t think that bad outcome makes the hit dirty.

Blindside hit.

I'd say clean.
Clean all day. Juulsen didn't target his head, jump, or anything dirty.
Suicide pass, Juulsen even held up.
Great hit, shitty pass. That's a steak dinner right there.
As a Flames fan. Clean hit. 100%
Clean hit bro! What's the tough call???
He had the puck, he was going to play it, it was shoulder check, good and clean
keep your head up. hitting is allowed in the NHL
I'm not a cansucks can but that's a clean hit
