Obviously Wilson is under a microscope and any hit he makes is going to be seen as controversial by many. But like you said, there was absolutely no head contact. Was it a penalty? Yes. Should he have received a match penalty? Absolutely not.

The player said it was a hit to the back of his shoulder. Just so everyone who said he was dead from a head shot

The njd player said it was a hit to the back of his shoulder haha

there going to suspend him for an illegal check to the back. If anything else it's clipping, and Wilson should have known better. But he doesn't care which is why we won't care when he's gone!
Boarding is hitting someone into the boards, typically from 3-5 feet away which can cause injury.
My god, no wonder why you think plays like this are normal. You don't know the rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he's trying to say that since it happened at open ice it's not suspendable. It sounds like you agree.

Hey, since this is a website about the salary cap, anybody know how much upper limit relief the Caps are getting out of all this? Will they be able to exceed the cap at the deadline by just, like, an elc, or by a whole bit superstar contract?

I understand what boarding is. I am saying that Normally boarding plays are the ones you get suspended for not hits to the back of the shoulder. Please be willing to read and be open minded bc you are reading like a 1st grader.

The devils player isnt injured and is quoted as saying it was a hit to his shoulder not his head. So Wilson was ejected for an illegal head shot and everyone except you and other penguins fans seem to think there’s such thing as an illegal shoulder chexk that isn’t boarding. Ha but please define e an illegal check from behind that the main point of contact is the shoulder and not the back. ..... I’ll wait

The guy isn’t hurt and admits it was a hit to the shoulder not the head. Please get over yourself

Bingo thank you. I’ve never heard of an illegal check to the shoulder. Even if it’s the back of the shoulder. It’s def a penalty but again no head contact which is what everyone I. The thread claimed at first and no injury which I assume everyone thought based off his actions after

Hit to the head was the call on the ice. It will take a lot of courage for the reviewing officials to overturn that based on the mere fact that it never happened, but here's hoping.

The players is quoted saying it was a hit to the head and he has no confusion or any injuries haha

Also where is the Eric Johnson thread Jesus you see that tonight. But again reputation Wilson will get a suspension for a glorified interference call Johnson will get a fine

Also reeves hit tonight was way worse where his thread ?? It was like Wilson’s only he hit the guy In the numbers and extended his arms?

Dude you clearly don't know the rules. Any check from behind is illegal. ANY.
Obviously you don't know much about anatomy either because your shoulder is part of your back!
He clearly could have avoided contact. He chose not to and instead to deliver a hit. Honestly I hope it's 40 games.

I don't know where you learned how to read, but I do not agree. Any hit from behind is illegal and frankly the actions of a spineless little weasel.

Your shoulder isn’t part of your back..... it’s a shoulder . Legal checks are shoulder to shoulder....... right right sooo how is a shoulder a back. Now there is a back part of the shoulder but that’s also not your back it’s your shoulder but from behind. “Your back” is mainly a spine when talking about bones. Or ribs please be smarter

Hey I was told by my buddy nylander deal is done ..... bet you are happy

I've been hit like that, into a wall. I didn't like it. I would be very happy with the NHL taking blindside, shoulder-to-shoulder checks out of the game, but they should do so through the rulebook, and it should apply to everybody.

well wilson isnt suspended ha like everyone knew bc it wasn't dirty

That is filth. How can you claim you're not trying to injure someone in a hit like that.

When it comes down i'll be happy. I do like the kid a lot. He's another high level talent on a team with several of them.

yeah heard it was a 3 year deal though

Not optimal but it's better than almost any other option. Long term deal is of course best but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

that might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard a human being say.
It's pretty clear your scapula aka the shoulder complex is part of t he back.
Enjoy the Tom Wilson Ban.

its called a should blade and if you are 100% technical its top back but in the nhl they are trying to remove hits from behind that target the numbers aka the spine haha

hes not suspended ha

go away

yeah my Buddys dad has ties to the penguins ..... he said that they made offers for nylander and mason but nylander and leafs are going short term 5 million...... hes been wrong before but he also told me about kessel coming like 3 weeks before it was announced

yet
