Wilson dirty hit to head on Brandon Carlo

[GJB]

Vrana cross-checking his head to the ice afterwards probably didn't help

 

[GeeoffBrown]

It's interesting because Wilson kind of ate an elbow on the way in too. Hard to give this guy the benefit of the doubt though.

 

[HTFN]

He didn't pump his feet so no charging. He didn't raise his elbow so no elbowing. He didn’t hit the head the glass did so no hit to the head. Carlo had the puck so no interference. So whats the penalty guys? I thought everybody wanted some good ol rock em sock em back in the game. Then they bitch when they do.

Yeah I'm at a loss. Suspending the name on the back of the jersey and not the hit, because there's nothing to suspend there. If it's punishable, regular game penalties would take care of it.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If he was on the Sharks, the league office would suspend him for 1 year.

 

[Sheppy]

Yep, that’s all head.

 

[Breakers]

The ONLY important question to be asked according to the NHL in regards to this hit...............



did it happen to a star player?

 

[Serpico]

Bruins will be head hunting next period.

 

[OVO16]

That's one way to say I like when a certain teams players get head injuries. Pretty cowardly but predictable take.

I was referring to the point that no one did anything on that hit other then a slight headlock. Bruins fans love to tout 'Big Bad Bruins" over the last decade when they're team was jumping teams and throwing dirty hits but now its all "where's the suspension"

 

[CK17]

I had no problem with the hit. I could see a roughing for the glove contact into the head.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Wow, you Bruins are soft. This is at max 2min penalty, not even that most of the time. What do you want Wilson to do here, nothing? He finished a check, shit happens.

"Potentially life altering injury to the head"
Get up softy, shit happens. I bet you're a happy person.

 

[Carlzner]

Shoulder to shoulder

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Bruins will be head hunting next period.

It's a nice dream to have but it won't happen. This team has no balls.

 

[HTFN]

He was running around the whole shift too. How could you not be watching him!?

So it's almost like they probably were, and it wasn't a penalty.

You guys remember what hits look like in Boston, right? It hasn't been that long.

 

[HeussLenfoire]

Tom Wilson is a piece of shit

 

[LeafGrief]

Even while hunched over, you gotta aim UP to hit Carlo in the head. He was practically aiming high while he was still at the bottom of the faceoff circle. Nasty hit, long suspension.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Calling for him to be suspended for the rest of the season is a bit much, but he probably sits for a few games.

 

[Il Stugotz]

That was an intentional attempt to injure by a guy with a mile long rap sheet. He is as bad as Matt Cooke and Raffi Torres. The only question is how many dozen games does he sit, 3 or 4.

 

[le_sean]

If the Myers and Dube hits were okay, then this is okay.

 

[danpantz]

Yeah I'm at a loss. Suspending the name on the back of the jersey and not the hit, because there's nothing to suspend there. If it's punishable, regular game penalties would take care of it.

Guy with Tom Wilson avatar doesn’t think Tom Wilson hit was dirty. I’m shocked.

 

[Beukeboom]

This year, it looks like the league has reverted further back in trying to give every benefit of the doubt to the hitter.

Hitters like Wilson don't have enough accountability to change their ways, so these types of plays will continue.

As for this hit, I only saw it passingly with one replay, but it didn't look good.

Good. It's ridiculous how often players began turning their backs and what have you, despite knowing a hit was coming. It's a contact sport, and the players have become like babies.

 

[BTO]

Yawn. Happened to a bRuin so who cares. Keep your head up rookie.

 

[X8oD]

awkward hit, but nothing wrong except the outcome. Even the Boston intermission announcers are more angry he hit somebody vulnerable, then the actual hit.

 

[caps4cup]

The hit was completely unnecessary but let’s not pretend that if that was Jake Debrusk hitting Nick Jensen like that, Bruins fans would be screaming bloody murder, or this would even be a thread. Another example of people’s ire for Wilson making them over exaggerate every hit that he throws.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Wilson owned him. Boom.

Imagine simping for head injuries.

 

[Mr Burns]

Great shoulder to shoulder hit by Wilson! And Jack Edwards is a f***ing joke.
