He could have f***ing drowned. Let's not make light of that.

For what he did to Buchnevich? Many times. It's a sucker punch, and suspensions have been quite common. For what he did to Panarin? I'm not sure about suspensions, but I also can't think of any comparables where a player pulls another down by the hair and slams them into the ice head-first. I'm not sure that precedent for specifics should really matter when there is a clear intent to injure.

wrong on all accounts. Didn’t punch him hard in the head. No suspension.
NHL found no evidence he pulled his hair and deliberately slammed him into the ice head first. No suspension.

These are the facts. Try sticking to them. I’m glad the NHL has for once and they hate him.

Why would they lie about him having a concussion. Their season is over. What is there to gain from that. It’s also against the CBA.
Sounds much, much more cool. Just like "he's done for the season". Creates more drama. What's gained? Future credits. Remember, the girl beating story - irrelevant whether it's valid or not, - may easily re-resurface.

Hey rest of NHL, feel free to 2 hand chop ovechkin/backstrom/carlson on the wrists until it breaks. Only cost you 5k.

Rangers have nothing to win for in their next game against the Caps. If they all don’t drop their gloves on the first face off and start going out of their way to do open ice hits on the Caps stars then they should just put this to bed because it wasn’t important enough or bad enough for them.

Everyone is more excited to see the next game between two teams where the outcome doesn't really matter to the standings more than they will watching the game where either Matthews scores 40 goals or McDavid scores 100 points.

And I'm one of em.

Clear hair pull and slew foot. Maybe you should try sticking to the facts.

Rangers should bring up multiple goons from the AHL and have them go after the Caps best players. They should not even bother with Wilson. They should just go after the Caps star players to let the Caps know every time Wilson cheapshots someone their star players will pay the price from now on.

Interesting idea, but im not sure Rangers AHL team could man handle Caps star players.

I love John Scott generally respecting the way Wilson plays ’the right way’, and convicting this single incident for star protection. Isnt this the same guy who attacked prime Kessel just because he wanted to hurt someone and Phil was the closest. Id bet that if John was on the blue shirt yesterday, he would first beat a star player to get even and then go after Wilson.

Reminiscent of Isles-Pens fight night

Do I need to quite the NHL again who would have looked at this with a microscope or you just good ignoring facts. Sweet. Up to you my friend :)

Does being blind limit your enjoyment of the sport? League gets it wrong all the time. Video shows it clearly.

I’m talking purely about the incident last night. Can’t find any precedence of someone being suspended for that.
Probably because player's dont grab someone by the hair and try to smash their face into the ground like a lunatic
