I didn't count 7 - 9 illegal shots, I think I counted 5. It wasn't like Cote was moving his head a whole lot, so I'm not inclined to think they were accidental; just wreckless.
I think the DQ was probably the right call.
*Edit to add: It was bad officiating though, Dan let way too many of those shots land, and then forced himself to assess Sakara's intent, and pick an outcome.
