This.

To me, it looked like Sarich had him line up for a big hit - but not necessarily an illegal hit. When Hall fall, Sarich had no time to get out of the check.

Exactly. Hall was going to get destroyed whether he fell or not, but you can't just assume that Sarich was going to hit him illegally.
The hit on Hall was unfortunate, but not malicious. Cory Sarich, who would be the Flames most active player in the contest, went for a hit on the puck carrier and Hall lost his footing moments before the hit. As a result, by the time Sarich reached him, Hall’s head was at waist level.

This is why I am against an all inclusive headshot rule. This is just silly to say Sarich was playing dirty or anything of that matter here. Just wow.

An illegal hit was the likely outcome, so it's best that Hall fell down.
