Tom Wilson with a pretty aggressive high stick (suspended 6 games)

[leafsfan5]

Should be a suspension, not even close to a hockey play and could have destroyed Gregor's teeth

But it'll be 5K max

Tom Wilson doing Tom Wilson things.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Can't imagine George gives a f*** about this.

 

[Atoyot]

Even if not on purpose, that's a suspension. The precedent was set with Kassian on Gagner. Don't be reckless with your stick.

 

[BB79]

He whacks him in the face with the stick and then hugs him in an apologetic manner….

Some serious impulse issues that guy has

It looked more like a "no, don't fall to the ice, they might call me for a penalty" type hug, not an apologetic one

Tom Wilson doing Tom Wilson things.

But in reality it is the universe getting even with Gregor for single-handedly costing the Sharks Fantilli or Carlsson in last year’s draft.

Tom Wilson may have a future in tennis.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Doing that in the midst of a playoff race is neanderthal stuff.

Not Trouba so the outrage on the board is minor.

<An entire thread of people talking about bad the Wilson hit was>

"Let's randomly bring up how unfair things are to my favorite team's player while maligning folks on the board and showing that I haven't bothered to read the thread I'm commenting in"

C'mon, dude - read the room. Hell, read the thread.

Looks like Wilson got clipped up high with a high stick, so he responded with one of his own. Purposely and violent- its definitely suspension worthy.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Raised an eye brow and laughed when I saw high stick in the title. That's a slash.

High stick has an implication of reckless or accidental attached to it. This was a guy clubbing a guy with a weapon on purpose.

I read the thread. It's kind of mild compared to the venom Trouba receives. Actually to be honest considering how much praise the guy got when he body slammed Panarin without a helmet on I guess I should take this as progress. Let's be honest Wilson is just a hard working throwback type player that isn't completely useless as a hockey player. *HF swoons*

 

[JimmyApples]

It was one hand and looked like Wilson was trying to get around/dodge the other player and accidentally came up and got him.

Probably deserving of 2 minutes and that’s about it

They read the 1st reply to the thread that said "where's the outrage". Their brain suddenly shut down from the shock and then the words "there's no outrage at all" repeated over and over in their deep slumber. They woke up with a vengeance and had to let everyone know that they needed to channel their anger or it wouldn't be fair to Trouba.

Your stick doesn't swing up that high on accident. Wilson absolutely knew what he was doing.

Everyone on this board hates Tom Wilson - more than they hate Jacob Trouba. As a Kraken fan, I'm more neutral about this than you are.

You're stretching for things to be outraged over.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Should be gone for the season with his history. He's Parros' boy though, so I expect Kadri to get 5 games here.

Way too specific for Kadri. His suspensions are much more vague for some reason.

I expect the official suspension will read "until the end of Calgary's first round in the playoffs"

Also at least one pick forfeited by Ottawa. We can't let them get away with this.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Lmao, the persecution complex is real.

The thing is, it actually is real and provable. I'll bet you $100 to the charity of your choice that this doesn't get looked at by the DoPS. You willing to do the same?

 

[eviohh26]

That should be a pretty good suspension but it wont be .

 

[LivingRentFree]

Lmao, the persecution complex is real.

Or maybe, just maybe, you should look at the suspension history since Parros has come into his position as DOPS. Not only is it horribly inconsistent, he clearly has an issue with the leafs

Well he was missing teeth, so minimum 4 minutes. And I don't understand how him swinging his stick like that is a natural extension of him trying to get around the guy. It looked like he meant to whack him, maybe just not in the face.
