In the preseason too, anyone suggesting fines, suspensions, etc. needs to wake up and smell the coffee. What it's going to take is some one being fed up enough and giving him a taste of his own medicine or worse. It's a damn shame but that's what I truly believe. Wilson will not stop the predatory and illegal hits until he is physically unable to do so.
The league is very soft now, not to be some nostalgia guy or ramble about the good ol' days, but this kind of shit would've never flown back in the day. Wilson can simply decline a fight and walk away unscathed with a wrinkled jersey because he can. Until someone with less sense and more anger then him loses it and smashes his skull into the ice, whether he is looking or not.
The NHL department of player safety is a joke and a fine of a few grand is a drop in the bucket for most regular guys who are sitting on millions.
