How everyone is fuming with anger over this “predatory” supsension is humiliating!
This mean you TED!! Why doesn’t he stop counting his move and sipping soy milk and raise a fuckin assault on the NHL officers? Get on camera speaking out, vote against/for everything those assholes want and STAND UP FOR PLAYERS AND FANS FOR ONCE!!!

Tariq was on with Chad Dukes a few minutes ago talking about it. Tariq is dumb as a rock. Thankfully Willy does have the opportunity to appeal this. Hopefully he has a spokesman that can articulate how he has been picked on. I don’t see the suspension going away, but it damn well should be reduced by at least half.

The NHL isn't going back to what it was. Neither is the NFL. The pussification of the country and refusing to allow men to be men has infected sports. The players will have to adjust or they'll simply be kicked out of the league.

The god damn NHL sucks. I missed the Blues game on Sunday. My stupid DVR recorded the NHL channel because in the guide it claimed it was showing the game, but the game was on another channel [FUCK COMCAST]. I just watched it today. I did not see that as a suspension. Tom was flying towards the play and that idiot Sundqvist cut across the ice right in front of him and did nothing to protect himself. Tom clearly spun in an attempt to NOT hurt him. As I said, the league is using this and Tom Wilson to support their anti-concussion lawsuit and public opinion. Tom Wilson is just a fucking pawn.

I think for his appeal to be successful they will need to gather up evidence of other similar hits and what the punishment was handed out. I also think they should point out that the league is focusing more on the injury sustained than the actual hit.
Ive seen worse hits than this one. Wilson shouldn't be penalized because he transfers more energy in a hit than all the pussys in this league.

There is no question this was a bad hit by Willy, but 2 things: 1: if you’ve got to slow the film down to frame by frame and use a magnifying glass to find head contact, that’s BS. 2: and more importantly, if the league hadn’t already singled him out for being too physical in a physical game he wouldn’t have a history and be considered habitual. This is no different from when the league picked on OV for being too physical. The only difference, the ONLY difference, is OV is damn lucky he never broke someone’s jaw.
