Down by the River Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The number of 'accidentally-on-purpose' chicken $&!# that is going around the NHL is ridiculous. Wilson knew exactly what he was doing and nobody is going to believe otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Wilson did that on purpose. The guy is a complete idiot. The league should toss him for good. And other teams need to run OV (who I love as a player) and Backstrom. If the league doesn’t stop Wilson, I will have to come from his teammates telling him they are targets of cheap shots, because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBoy44 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'm a Wilson supporter, but wtf even was that. May as well start looking for a team in Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as bad as some of his other ones in terms of impact... at least this wasn't a hit directly to the head (though you can certainly still get a concussion, especially when blindsided like that). The problem is that he just is incapable of learning, or doesn't care to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'll need to see a better angle. Didn't look like a headshot at first glance, but may have been akin to the Baertschi headshot. If the head was actually the principle point of contact, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the rest of the season at this rate. This quickly after a 20-game suspension will not be handled lightly by the DOPS. All in all, I'd need a better angle and slow mo to make a good decision.

WonderTwinPowers Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 If Tom Wilson does this to a Canuck. Does he even get a penalty? Same as the Reaves hit. Figure your crap out NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 OK, on the one hand, this is Wilson, he should not be given the benefit on the doubt. On the other, what the hell was Seney doing? He turns as he dishes the puck, and just goes for a stroll backwards in the middle of the ice. Wilson changes direction to go around him - he isn't even looking at him, he's looking past him, trying to get to the puck - but Seney just drifts backwards into his lane. That was just stupidity on Seney's part, and (I can't believe I'm saying this, but) I don't think Wilson meant it at all. IMO, no suspension. I think the penalty was undeserved.

Baer. Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised if he got 30-40 games, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he got none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wilson was a clean player with no record then he gets the benefit of doubt. He wont now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I don't see this as a hit to the head, but it definitely was late. I've got 2 seconds between the time the puck leaves Seney's stick and when Wilson makes contact. If this was anyone else, I would say the penalty was enough and no suspension....because this is Wilson, I'm going to say 15 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few angles and I don't think the head was the principal point of contact.... its possible that he didn't even hit Seney's head at all. But, it is still a blindside hit, and I don't buy other peoples' argument that Seney turned at the last minute. Wilson had plenty of time to see him and just did not care.

This is part of the problem. People think you have to be looking directly at someone to know where they are on the ice. This is why you see so many 'accidental collisions' in the NHL... people are willing to buy this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieBush Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Only issue with it was that it was late. No headshot. Its interference, nothing more imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Good hockey player but he is a tool. He is basically on probation. He knows what he's doing there. Sure its maybe just an interference penalty. But you think he would just let up, side step the guy, and keep clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The DoPS published an explanation video on what they look for in determining whether the head was the main point of contact or not. If the head snaps back and does not move in the same direction as the body then it's a head shot. If it's a clean body hit then the body and head will move in the same direction.
