You make it sound like Wilson started it and not Reaves with his crosscheck from behind. Its a difference between a crosscheck/punch to the body and the head. Just like there are a difference between a hit to the head or the body and Wilson would have crosscheked the body hadnt Reaves been quicker.

Listen... do you smell something?
Let me cross check you in the teeth and we'll record your reaction.
Lol ok. Wilson gets punched in the face for a living and has never gone down that easy in his life.

Caps fans: bend over backwards to defend Wilson after his 3rd suspension of the year.
Also Caps fans over two cross-checks: Ryan Reaves is literally the boogeyman.

i think he was bleeding, so unless he sneakily decided to don the crimson mask ala Dusty ( if you weeeeeellll) I'm pretty sure that was a legit crosscheck to the face.
The funny thing is that reeves is barking about it as he skates to the box. I'd love to hear his complaint. What's even funnier are the people, the very same people who already have an open window with a new thread with the title " Possible Wilson suspension incoming????? " with their fingers on the enter button as they watch the game are the very same who when transgression are committed against him, shrug their shoulders and say " he deserved it".
Wilson's game last night was not mistake free, but I thought he was really effective last night doing what he does, skate fast and hit hard.
he was going to cross check him in the face ?
Can you help a brother out with this weeks lotto numbers ?
one cross check was how he scored, the other was to wilson's face and then reeves was still moaning as he skated to the box.
I thought ryan reeves was a legit tough guy who could, at any time, pound wilson into dust. If this is true, why is he acting like ratty roussel ?

No need to record his reaction... Just crosscheck him in the mug for the comment.

Hey! You suck!
That's kind of borderline, I'd honestly be ok with whichever way it goes, but definitely deserved the penalty.

NHL has shown no consistency in the playoffs or ever with this shit so who knows. Closest I can see was the Kempny cross-check in either the Pitt or Tampa series that saw him fined. I'd guess this is a fine. But wouldn't be shocked with a 1 game suspension. Seriously, who knows anymore.

I agree, the butt end is in play. Even if he doesn't involve the stick, puching someone with your hand full hurts a heck of a lot more than a closed fist
This situation looks EXTREMELY similar to the one below. Calvert got 1 game and so Reaves should also get 1

Let the boys play and fans enjoy this finals.
Games are 1 goal apart (Game 1 with 1 empty net).
Think only other final I enjoyed this much was in 2011 but I am Bruins fan so it was easy.

Wilson acted like he got shot, Reaves acted like he didn't see Wilson coming.
I agree. It was a clear hit to the head, people can argue all they want, but Kuznetsov was hit in the face and the hit resulted in an injury to a key player. If Tom Wilson threw the same hit, it would have been reviewed. Need to be consistent.

In what way do these two plays look alike?
Kane's was after the whistle, Bellemare was minding his own business, Kane targeted him and went straight at him, striking him twice...
In the Reaves play it was during play before the whistle, Wilson was actively approaching Reaves with his stick up trying to cross-check Reaves, and #75 wasn't even looking at Wilson... What is Reaves supposed to do? Let Wilson come in and give him a cross-check to the ribs? lol
Ah, yes, the toughest man on the planet: the internet tough guy. Getting cross checked in the mouth is barely a bug bite to these toughies.

Where is the "let them play" mentality that the refs take during the playoffs listed in the rulebook?

Also, no suspension. Looks like he punched him with his glove. If it was stick to face then yeah but it doesn't look like that's the case.
