It definitely was not an accident. On the replay, it's clear that it was intentional. Gauthier had the option of lifting either leg on impact. He chose to plant the "hitting" leg, lifted his off leg and leaned into it, so basically all of his weight went into that hit. Thus getting tossed out on the game misconduct.
There's talk of possible suspensions and Salo remains in Calgary while the rest of the team is back to play Edmonton tonight.
