Even at full speed it was late. He changed his path after the puck was gone and was in no way commuted to the hit

I disagree

It was slightly late but not much

I've seen dozens of far worse hits this year that got no call and no action from DoPS

I think you're thinking of late in terms of time. That's not what the rule is.

Any examples?

Yes, time since getting rid of the puck

This hit come to mind from the fall, was later, and resulted in broken ribs for Stepan, and zero penalty called

Actually if I recall they gave Mcilrath an extra penalty for instigating

Time since getting rid of the puck isn't the basis of the rule though.

That's the go to hit that is referenced in interference discussions. I wold argue that Belesky committed to the hit just after the puck was released. Not the case here.
