I love seeing the mental gymnastics one has to go through to ignore obvious things that happened on video. If this were Kadri a few years ago, the amount of close up video clips and breakdowns you'd have piled up and ready would be vomit-inducing.

It's hilarious that the Rangers might have someone in the AHL who will intimidate Wilson.

I can't imagine an argument for why Wilson punching players in the head while they're on the ice, and trying to body slam one of them while they're helmetless, is in anyway defensible.

Toughness, old time hockey, wussy millennials.
I think that about covers the "arguments"
I doubt Wilson would be intimidated, but Mason Geertsen is an experienced fighter who can throw with both hands, has good balance and size

It was a punch to buch's head while he was face down on the ice with another cap on top of him. When panarin grabbed Wilson, he was busy rabbit punching strome while strome was wrestling with another cap, technically making Wilson 3rd man in. Then Wilson pulled panarin's hair while slew footing him to the ice. Multiple suspendable cowardly acts from Wilson and a whole bunch of pretzel logic and garbage takes poorly attempting to defend him.

I think when someone takes out Backstroms or Carlssosn knee then skates to the Capital bench to tell the coaching staff why, it might work in reigning in Wilson. If Backstrom is out for the year on a stretcher because of Wilson it might change the Capitals tune a bit.
Wilson gets away with it because the NHL has too many cowards who won’t go old school to send a message. I am not really an advocate for purposely injuring someone, but Wilson crosses the line with no repercussions at all. Sometimes you have to use your opponents tactics against them.

No you don't have to body slam a guy like that who doesn't have his helmet on. Dangerous and he does dumb things like this repeatedly that not only is he a liability to hurt someone else someone and is also a liability to get hurt himself from all the dumb things he's done. None of the caps fans will be happy to see that happen to him or what about one of his teammates? Suspend him and get him to think about the dumb things he does and take it down a notch or two. He can still be a pain in the ass to play against without the dumb shit he does.

Obligatory evidence of a professional hockey player being a complete and total loser:

One of the things that I figure kind of curious is that the league's legal counsel did not step in or at least review the decision. The next McSorely/Bertuzzi/Simon incident is coming with Wilson eventually. He has repeatedly showed an inability to control himself. When that incident happens, the victim (whether it is warranted or not) will be able to point to this exactly like this (and this will likely be exhibit A) as to why the league was negligent and they will walk away with millions.
For the DOPS and the League, this was an extremely negligent decision to allow to happen. The discussion that should be happening is if how many games he got was correct, not the fact that there were essentially no repercussions, especially after a 7 game suspension he had earlier.
This was wrong for the league on several levels.

I've always said that the absolute worst aspect of Wilson (and a clear-cut sign that he is a sociopath) is his regular willingness to laugh at injuring someone.

Let’s not gloss over how incredibly pathetic and embarrassing it is for a professional athlete to do this under these types of circumstances.

That’s not what I was implying at all but okay?
Surely we can all agree he’s a POS with clear issues
That’s what it’s all about…
For some people it is?
I don’t get why you’re so outraged

Not on players already limp face down on the ice...
Also the shit about Panarin was the third man in is such a false narrative. Actually Wilson is the third man in since Strome is already tied up with Dowd. Panarin is going in the equal it out. Sheesh

I don't know why people are susprised Wilson didn't get suspended, nothing he did warranted any games. All you can do is what if's, if Panarin slammed his head against the ice. I think Wilson intended to injure, but DOPS is always swayed by resulting injuries and Panarin's was only lower body.
This was way worse by a Caps player against Malkin, no suspension

Both of those are completely different situations than what happened here.
Thornton grabbed Orpik from behind, kicked his legs out from underneath him and then punched him directly in the face multiple times.
Kassian did more than throw Tkachuk to the ground and he wasn't suspended for throwing him down. He was suspended for being the aggressor towards an unwilling combatant because of the multiple punches.
There's punches like that in goal mouth scrums all the time and no calls for a suspension. Muzzin did something similar to Mantha and wasn't suspended despite injuring Mantha and people are shocked there's no suspension on this play?
Goon it up with who??? Wilson can easily take anyone on the Rangers roster
