Ya I'm watching CBC. They are talking about the Wilson hit. 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.
