Tom Wilson where art thou

 

[illpucks]

That's 5 games at least.

 

[Il Stugotz]

It’s hard to tell if that’s a penalty from that gif. Could be full body contact and not a pick.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

That's a paddlin'

 

[Bounces R Way]

Chip off the old block

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Like father, like son.

yeah i'd like to see a reverse angle, definitely a hard check and definitely head contact but i'm not making a jump call from that angle

 

[valet]

definitely a headshot, he should get a few games

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's a Tom Wilson caliber headshot, yikes.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Caps fans, that’s a strong hockey play, right?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Jump isn't clear from that angle. Definitely head contact though.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Who cares if he jumps or not.

Blatant headshot.

Should sit for 5+

He plays for the Caps. Any and all headshots should be legal against them as long as they employ serial headshot artist, Tom Wilson.

 

[Howie Hodge]

First time ever I wanted to see Gudas win a confrontation...................

 

[Nick Hansen]

Why are all the gifs so damn short of these hits? Any way, Kempny is skating very low. Probably just a situation of bad luck.

 

[CapsJunkie]

I really don't think it was intentional. this game so fast. that being said I hope Wilson beats him up

 

[Lainehasaweirdface]

I could see him getting a game or two for the head contact but until I see an angle of him jumping into the hit I don’t think it was intentional/dirty.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Looks awful but the gif is disingenuous because it only slows down after contact is made and it makes it very hard to tell Kempny's position prior to the hit.

It is still a terrible hit, don't get me wrong. But that gif is engineered to make it even worse.

Because every single other team wouldn’t employ Wilson in a heartbeat lol.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Hall's hit last night was just as bad if not worse

DOPS still smoking weed when they watch replays

Seriously, they’re all from fans and fans don’t care about logic, it’s emotion. All they care about is the contact, not how we got there. One of the great benefits of twitter heavily influencing public opinion.

“Rage” porn

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Lemieux has it in him to play a good clean pest game, but his actions are getting dumber with each game he plays (he punched another player in the face during pre-season), now this.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

He acts like a punk out there. Not good enough to be an agitator....

This doesn't look like a suspension based on slow motion, it needs a full speed version.

 

[Not Sure]

That could be a good hit, could be a 5 game suspension, need a better angle. His arm is tucked in until after contact, but the fact he lifts it up and away from the body once contact is made looks bad.
