Pretty much agreed unless Holtby stonewalls them. However our forecheck was gritty in the first period especially, even if we don't score if we can at least build momentum by forechecking them hard and making them earn neutral all period instead of just passively letting them cycle it and play man to man, we could hold them off.

It's hard to tell. Go to nhl.com and they play all the angles. It looks clean to me. Not that it matters. 4 people screening Holts. He had no chance to see it or move to get it.

On my feed they figure Djoos deflected it into our net.

Kypreos thinks Wilson couldn't avoid it because Dumolin turned to avoid Ovi. Hrudey thinks Wilson should get suspended. I usually agree with Hrudey but not this time. He has never hit anyone before.

I thought it was an interesting debate and it was nice to see the majority arguing that Wilson was chasing him on the play and that Dumolins turning was the hit. Because that is what I saw as well.
As for the debate on them just turning all hits to the head into penalties, ugh. I really hope this doesn't go the way of the NBA and they take most contact out of the game to avoid injury. I feel like much like fighting, this should come down to the players preference. What right do we have to tell these players what they are allowed to sacrifice? That is up to them. I get it if people are dying or bodies are dropping, but the injuries aren't coming at a prevalent pace and I feel like what they have already done to the hitting has shored up concussions some. They are at least more aware of it.
But if it becomes so that you can barely touch anyone puck or no puck then the game is going to be dominated by Euros and Russians in no time. Also it'll be 10+ goals a game at that rate.
