How bad was the L'Heureux Hit?

I was unable to watch the game last night but saw the fallout when I got home. At game speed, was it as bad as the main NHL subs are making it? When I watch replays it looks like a bad hit, but his left leg looks to follow through without intention. I think this is getting hyped because Spurgeon got hurt but maybe I'm just holding on to hope that L'HEUREUX isn't playing like the rat he was in junior. I need some input
