My first reaction was that it wasn't a penalty, but now with a better look at it I see that it's a penalty but I wouldn't call it "dirty." More like "you must penalize this so that players actively avoid this kind of hit in the future"
I'm definitely not arguing with you as most hockey fans seem to agree with that, I'm just not exactly sure what Seabrook can do there. He clearly thinks Backes has the puck, he doesn't launch himself but unfortunately makes contact with Backes who is in a crouched position. I get that you don't want contact to the head but it almost seemed unavoidable there.
