I just want to say that I made this exact call in a tied ACHA game and it was extremely unpopular with the home team. You articulated exactly why I put my arm up. 0:14
Looks like he turns at the last second and baits the call. It wouldve been boarding if it wasnt crosschecking. It really shouldve been called for embellishment.
I don't mind this call, as long as it is called every time. What I hate is that this happens 100 times in a game and isn't called, then because the guy falls down it gets called. The call should be made based on the force applied, arm extension, etc. not whether he tips over.

Super-dangerous crosscheck, right in that danger zone just off the boards.
