Shooter runs into defenseman after the shot

Correct Call: Unnecessary Roughness. 1 min. While the shooting players speed carries him into the defender, the defender makes a clear attempt to body check the shooter, even after the ball has been out of his stick for a couple seconds.
For this to not be a penalty: The body check would need to come sooner, or as the shooter runs into the defenseman, make more of an effort to not extend his hands and just stand there, or step aside.
Game Level:This should be called at all levels.
