Our coaches basically said "you know a clean hit from a bad hit, don't be idiots or you won't play".
They were right.
They were right.
Lol Distracted from what? Pretty much every active hfboards member has already gave his opinion about this incident.I like this dude derailing the thread with airline statistics to distract from the fact that his boy is a piece of **** who is about to be suspended yet again
16 games will cost him more than that. He makes 6.1m this season, so 13/14 games is around the 1m mark. 16 would be ~1.19m.
I get that people are outrage because it’s Wilson, but this just isn’t that bad to me. He’s basically skating at him head on, and Sundqvist suddenly turns to shoot. No, Sundqvist didn’t really do anything wrong, but it’s not Wilson’s fault that he suddenly changed positions either. The NHL looks at whether the player changed their body position immediately prior to contact, to determine if the contact with the head was unavoidable, and Sundqvist did.
Totally shoulder to shoulder.
Or it's Wilson's skates That high above him Wilson was.While I'm not addressing the legality of the hit, that looks a lot more like his visor got him than anything. Could easily have happened when he hit the ice, as it looked like he landed that side down.
His change in position is negligible at best. He's not turning away from the hit, he has the puck nearly in the high slot and he's attempting a shot. the only thing that really changed are the locations of his arms which are now extended to his left from the follow through and his leg kicking back. This is another nonsensical take. Taking a shot does not put you in a vulnerable position nor excuse the person hitting you from hitting your head. Wilson had every opportunity to go for a full body check and instead he went high and caught the head. This really isn't that difficult. I mean, have you seen the photo of Sundqvist's face that has been posted in here and the other thread multiple times?I get that people are outrage because it’s Wilson, but this just isn’t that bad to me.

His salary is only 1.1 this year. He’s barely going to feel the fine even at 10 games.
The rest is signing bonus.

I put him on ignore. Please tell me he is not carrying on with this absurd rationalization.I love to hijack two threads over airline safety stats instead of just taking the L.
Blindside hits are legal
Hits to the head are legal as long as the head isn't the principal point of contact
If you don't want hits like this then ban blindside hits (which the league 100% should) and teach kids not to cut into the center of the ice with your head down. Hockey is a physical sport and you have to play with the expectation you are going to be hit
He is going to get suspended so clearly the league is telling him, for seemingly the billionth time, change they way you play.
I had not choice but explain. It seems ppl don't understand simple exemples anymore It would take just one post, like okay he's talking about frequency that some incidents occurs, but no, lets bring all data we have to prove planes are safer.I love to hijack two threads over airline safety stats instead of just taking the L.
He is getting suspended. So your whole premise is ridiculous. You're wrong. Deal with it.The hit was within the rules, what exactly does he need to change with this hit?

Guess that's why he's getting suspended (yet again)...
