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.

I agree with Sundqvist being unaware. I have been arguing with some idiots on the HF boards about it. Those guys are clueless. They all think you should be able to dippsy doodle around with your head down without getting hit. Its hockey not figure skating.

Ask yourself, what could Willy possibly have done differently.

The only thing he could have done was lower His body so contact wasnt so high.

When looking at the angle of the hit, it was very much like the hit that put Savard out of hockey (imho) so I understand the suspension. Though like many, the number of the games is a good deal off what it should be. Ten ... Fifteen at the very most, but not Twenty.
But my question is this; wtf are tall players supposed to do when making contact with smaller guys; double over? I mean, the area of contact will almost end up being high but of no fault what-so-ever to guys like Wilson. Its not like Pronger throwing out a chicken-wing (elbow) and taking someone's head off .... and then putting on a "I don't know what you're talking about" look on his face. From their side they are generally making a clean hit and I don't want to blame a guy either for being small; but isn't that why small guys (during the history of the sport) are generally frowned up?
