Shoulder to shoulder
Fine, but it’s okay for forearm, hands to drive a players head into the glass?? okay then..
Shoulder to shoulder
I like Wilson and think that, by far, most of his previous incidents were clean hits gone bad, so to speak, but there's no defending this one. The discussion should start at ten games and go up from there, but I'll guess that he gets five.I mean there is no defense. This thread will only escalate if Wilson fans make it happen.
How you're seeing shoulder to chest is mind boggling here.context does matter. 166 games without incident. Per rules he’s not a repeat offender in DoPS eyes
it’s absolutely a hockey hit. “Play hard/physical, momentum rah rah”
there are players going for big hits on that on a number of teams.
is it unnecessary to make a hit there? Sure, but in no different sense than literally any other hit made ever. I mean, you’ve got a stick.
big hits are and have always been legal. Fans will probably want that changed in a few years, but right now he’s allowed to make that hit.
he came from the side, which is allowed, and as a player was rotating he hit arm/shoulder first, and landed squarely on the chest with his shoulder. His hands tucked to his chest made contact on the follow through.
But Messier is a Hall of Famerguy deserves to be out of the league. continuously hits people dangerously and should be out of chances. talented raffi torres.
if the hit on mackinnon drew 2, this should be 5 at least
Looked clean to me, when Wilson goes for the head he’s a lot more obvious than this. He ran his shoulder into Carlo’s armpit, not even his head so what’s the big deal?
That hit is nowhere near as bad as all the whiny babies in this thread are making it out to be.

the point is that it doesn’t belong
For those of you saying Carlo was "just standing there" or "needs to be more aware"... Did you even watch the video at at full speed?
He JUST got to pick and won his board battle. How many of you have never played hockey before? You NEED to have your head down during board battles.
Ask any former hockey player and they will tell you that you have t be aware of who's on the ice.BS. Why?
Because things like line changes happen while play is going on and such. What are they to do, ring a dinner bell each time he gets on the ice?
There's a lot of flaws in that kind of talk.
Do you actually believe anything you just wrote or are you trolling38 pages for 0 minutes penalty ahahaha
Listen, if the Wilson haters (I mean NHL refs) didn’t even gave him 2 minutes it means there was nothing criminal. Haters on HFB have to stop their BS.

This (Carlo’s unfortunate injury) is what happens when a 4th line plug poke the bear in the 1st game of a back to back in a regular season.
The problem for Caps opponents throughout the years when the game goes physical is that the Caps leaders Ovi & co can respond by themselves and hit you hard when somebody try to act like a big boy against them. Caps players are no soft.
But when the physicality elevates in a Caps game, the other team better be ready for unfortunates outcomes when they start to poke the bear.
The only guy to blame for Carlo’s injury is Frederic. No one else.
He looked down because he lost the puck in his feet. This shouldnt be this hard to understand. He also has no time to brace for the hit regardless as Wilson was on his before he even finished his board battles.But you can see the moment he looked down when he should have looked up. He won the puck to his side boxing out Vrana and then, instead of looking up to see if support was coming, he looked down to find it first.
Torres was a 5th overall pick who had a higher P/GP than Wilson. If a superior player was sent packing 5 years ago...guy deserves to be out of the league. continuously hits people dangerously and should be out of chances. talented raffi torres.

Nothing wrong with this hit other than Carlo putting himself in a dangerous position. He had the puck, knew the hit was coming, yet made no effort to protect himself.
You have to expect an opposing player is going to finish his check.
If he would have braced himself and stood tall like a man, Wilson would have made shoulder to shoulder contact. For some reason Carlo sagged and lowered his head. It's unfortunate and totally his fault.
