Should a Player be Penalized/Suspended for a Clean Hit if the other Player is Injured On the Play?

You might give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident. Tom Wilson was JUST suspended and has a history of this sort of thing.

That's not objective way to judge. His problem is to skate too fast. That's too risky. Opponent and him don't have time to adjust. That's a good recipe for an accident.

Nope. I think if this happened it would discourage hitting big time.

This ones kinda silly.

Now if you had of asked does an injury on a clean hit lead to a penalty or game misconduct I would of said yes it does on occasion. But that is more a knee jerk thing from the refs.

Why they can’t look at a review before ejecting someone is beyond me

no

should they? of course not

are they? yup


and FYI to the OP, this isnt the case with the Wilson hit. He went for the head and blindside
