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'm not as bias as you on this. I'm fine with a suspension but 20 games is too much.
ArJunaZ:
I've watched the hit at least 40 times. It was a very ODD situation. I don't believe that Tom was targeting Sundqvist at all. That kid turned right into Willy's path and Tom obviously tried to minimize the impact IMO. I place much more fault in Sundqvist who seemed to have zero awareness, which as we all know is the number one killer of hockey players.

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.

They will. We just need to be aggressive and quit given em money

This case is about as weak as it gets.
It would be plausible that the league is using 20 for PR and media hype because they know it’s weak, and will knock it down on appeal so they can “look charitable”

and 20 games is a phukin joke, the punishment does not fit the crime. Even if he deserves the habitual tag.
