You can see the penguins face and head virtually the entire hit which is the textbook evidence of not hitting someone in the face and head first

Well yeah because ZAR sees him coming and tries to get his shoulder up to avoid being murdered.

The fact that he got nothing is loving egregious.

Well you see like he's a role player and he's contributing to offense too ya know. He's havin' a good season.

I don't know why but I just assume Don Cherry is already cooking up his big loud rear end in a top hat defense of the guy. Tom Wilson is like the most borderline player in the league right now hands down I'd say. The new Matt Cooke if you will.

The Pens had a guy who could at least run him and be expendable for a better player at the same time following his subsequent suspension.

They traded him to put Derick Brassard on the third line.

This is a legit question cause idk. If he gets his shoulder up to protect himself from the hit, and so his shoulder receives it first, what makes it a bad hit? Is it just the thought that Wilson was going for the head?

Kucherov got away with a hit that went to the head because he got shoulder first. I am not trolling when I say that it is an acceptable hit in the nhl. PPoC is what they judge.

I mean I got one replay since I'm watching the other game but it sure looked like he got nailed in the jaw before the rest of his body really took an impact

I guess I just don’t think he went for the head. He gets down and stays on his feet. Other guy got lower down. I dunno I’m an idiot with this stuff and I’m sorry your guy got hurt.

No, I'm an idiot at this too, you shouldn't ask me for any rules poo poo. I just think Tom Wilson is a loving piece of poo poo who is trying to injure people and it pisses me off.

Really when you think about it though, the lines right now are Ovechkin/Kuznetsov/Wilson + Orlov/Djoos up against Crosby/Guentzel/Hornqvist + Letang/Dumoulin. One of these things is just not like the other and stands out like a sore thumb even in his best season offensively. :shrug:

Yeah and there has at least been some chatter among broadcasters at any rate about them changing that. It's seriously bullshit because you can go up high all day long if you just make sure to clip their shoulder a tiny bit, or really just get enough of the rest of their body that you don't exclusively hit the head. That seems to be the ultimate line...did you hit someplace else on their body? OK then it doesn't matter if you smashed their dome and concussed them

I really would like to see Tom Wilson's career ended early do to some sort of injury. Preferably from him whiffing on a head hunting hit and slamming into the boards.

I mean, if the rules say "principal" and not "initial" then saying "well he hit the shoulder first a bit its okay that he later took someone's head off" is kind of hosed, yeah?
