Tom Wilson is a repeat offender for illegal hits.
Let's see if the NHL will make an example out of him.

I just wish the NHL take a frim stand against Marchand and get him out of the league. Compensate Boston will a first round pick. Wilson should be suspended.

Clean hit by a large man, shoulder to shoulder. Unfortunately the head is attached to the shoulders.

If it was such a clean hit, why was Wilson given a 5 minute major, and has been summoned for an in-person hearing?

I would think minimum is 6 games, hopefully 10+.

Marchand has gotta be a douche of a person off the ice as well. He skates blindly right into Wilson. Wilson in no way would try to avoid that.

clean hit, keep your head up
Clean hit? You have to be joking. With a 20 game suspension, obviously the league doesn't think so. Body checks are fine, hits to the head are not and he constantly targets the head.

I hope Wilson got some satisfaction out of the hit.
It cost him about $1,260,000.

A clean open ice hit equals a 20 game suspension now a days. :doh:

The NHL has become softer than a stick of butter in the microwave...

Correct, unfortunately Bettman has ruined our game.
I don't like Bettman but I like him protecting players from career ending injuries. I don't want to see Matthews, Tavares or Marner go down like that. This Leaf team is on track for great things.

Ouch! That's about 1/5th of his salary. NHL sending message here. Not just missing games but lose a good chunk of change too.
It's 20/82's of the A.A.V. on his contract.

It was a hit from behind, targeting the head.
if that makes the NHL soft, so be it.
Fewer players will suffer as a result.

Was the league better for the likes of Lindros having to retire early? A big emphatic NO! There's still hitting in the game. It's the illegal hits that the League doesn't need. The league needs skilled players. The more skill the better.

What’s happened to the offence? We used to have guys scoring 70 goals a season and numerous players racking up well over a 100 points a season. As soon as Bettman started messing around with the rule book the offence went out the window. Now the league is looking at smaller equipment for goalies which puts their safety at risk and even rumours of bigger nets to try and increase scoring. The game has become boring and tired.

Lindros never learned to skate with his head up, never had to as players would just bounce off him. Stevens doesn't bounce off anyone.
