If his name wasn't Tom Wilson he doesn't make that hit.
To some extent this is true, like the guy that hit MacKinnon also doesn't get suspended if it wasn't MacKinnon.
Tom Wilson is a meathead.
I would bet money that he has an account on this message board and/or visits this message board.
He probably saw people criticizing him for not doing anything in the game when Ovechkin speared Frederic in the groin. Then thought to himself that he needed to prove how big of a man he was by acting like a hooligan on the ice.

I don’t disagree, but slaps on the wrist for millionaires does very little to impact bad behaviour.

don’t put words in my mouth. I’m a big fan of hitting. Matthews doesn’t put himself in spots like that.
Wilson drove through the body and caught some head. This suspension will be reduced

Breaking news: dirty cheap shot artist gets suspended for throwing a cheap shot because of his reputation.
In other news, water is wet.

Well, crazily enough, the fact that its name is Tom Wilson does matter.
(Note : I used "its" voluntarily)

That hit gets made multiple times a game. Most players receiving it along the boards (including Wilson many times) just don't drop their head and open up their shoulders as they're getting hit.
League flat out stating that they suspended Wilson because he's judged under a different set of rules is hilarious. Can't say no when an O6 franchise is bawling their eyes out about it

Piece of shit player who’s had a grand total of two 20+ goal seasons and something on the order of 30 games of suspensions.
if he wasn’t such a dangerous cheap shot he’d be largely irrelevant. Problem is he leaves a wake of concussions and the occasional broken jaw. Which makes him a big deal in a dangerous way. Just like the rabid dog you hope someone will put down before it attacks someone again.
Carlo paid the price with a night in the hospital. Hope the East teams send him a gift. He paid the price, but they all get 7 games of reprieve from having to play Russian roulette with Tommy Sociopath on the ice.

Man Tom Wilson has really driven you people insane. Log off already, give it a rest

anyone who thinks this is too many games, I say wait and see the results of Mark Pavelich's brain examination
It's confirmed they will check it for chronic traumatic encephalopathy
These repeated head shots are no joke, ruining someone's career is nothing compared to what happens to some players

You must have really hated Matt Cooke when your trash team employed him

I like how Capitals fans are pearl clutching about other people wanting Wilson to get hurt while simultaneously defending his dirty as hell play.
I don't like wishing for players to be injured, but spare me.

This suspension costs him $300,000. (Would be double that if he was on repeat offender status)
He’s now lost $1.2 million.
His next suspension, which will surely be soon, will cost him the full value of his time missed.

Hitting is fine. Clean, hard hits are completely normal in hockey
Wilson drove Carlo’s head into the boards. That is not clean hockey. He had PLENTY of room to make a clean, shoulder to shoulder check and instead he chose to come outside of him where his head was
If you think Wilson didn’t know exactly what he was doing, I have a bridge to sell you

At least sometimes they can make a good call on a suspension.
7 games is a good punishment.
