I mean what a hit.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Clean move along

 

[bluesfan94]

Seems like he may have left his feet slightly, but I think he got shoulder first.

 

[Sol]

Clean. Get over it.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

It's hockey. It's the playoffs. Keep your head up.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Man, it's crazy how many questionable hits he's involved in. First impression is that it's tough to tell if the head was the primary point of contact.

 

[NYCGroundhog]

Another Caps game, another Tom Wilson headshot that sends a guy to the locker room. Nothing to see here, move along.

 

[JT Kreider]

Left his feet and cranked him on the right side of his face

 

[XanderCrews34]

Surpriiiiiiiiiiiise! Poor Tommy Wilson.

 

[Beauner]

Subhuman pile of f***ing garbage.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Wilson left his feet prior to the hit. He ended up in the bench hitting a player half his size.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

This guy can't play until next season

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Refs huddled to discuss it, no penalty. ZAR was Bloodied and dazed, head contact was made but was it principal and avoidable...

 

[useless]

He's in the game because of the league's decision, the players need to start defending themselves at this point, they can't leave it up to the league to handle anymore.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

Jesus, how soft HFboards and hockey fans are in general now. Hockey is physical. There is hitting. No need for a thread every big hit.

 

[pi314]

Amazing how he seems to "accidentally" headshot another player.

 

[Devils090]

Get him out of the league

 

[N o o d l e s]

I learned from Penguins fans that you need to keep your head up at all times while skating so let’s see how this goes.

 

[cassius]

Left his feet, principal point of contact was the head.

Clean hit!

48.1	Illegal Check to the Head - A lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principle point of contact is not permitted.

Neutral fan, if anything cheering for Caps. That was dirty as hell.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Keep your head up. That was a hockey hit.

 

[orby]

Shoulder directly to the head. Clear as day. Exactly the same thing he did in the last game.

 

[PB12]

He's in the game because of the league's decision, the players need to start defending themselves at this point, they can't leave it up to the league to handle anymore.

They can't besides Malkin everyone is too small. Wilson is Hawk and the Pens are sitting ducks.

NHL explained what is suspendable and what is not. There is no snap of the head. It's a clean hit by their own definition so no supplemental disincline but he might get a phone call
