Wilson gets 20 god damn games..

Surprise, surprise.
F'n buttman never had any intent to reduce it. Wonder if winning the cup factored into Buttman's bias?
ArJunaZ:
Fucking Bettman is a douche bag. I described the incident and saw it exactly the way Tom and his team presented it as seen in the document Bettman released.
Sundqvist is a pansy ass that has no business playing in the NHL. He's been making pathetic snowflake remarks for the past few weeks trying to garner negative sentiment for Wilson. I'd love to smack him in the mouth and force him to dine on HRC's camel toe. (Sorry ladies)
I never have seen Tom Wilson as a dirty player, and I've watched every game he's played in the NHL. The league is using him as their poster boy for virtue signaling and claiming they are doing all they can to battle the risks of head trauma all to fend off future claims against them. Meanwhile it remains perfectly legal and acceptable for players to drop their gloves and send roundhouse punches to each others' noggins until one falls to the ice. Hypocrisy at its finest.
The only head hunters here are in the league's front office and in the zebra suits.

It's too bad nobody will press Bettman on what should happen when a player comes across the ice with their head down.. Not sure how someone of Wilson's size is supposed to check them w/o making "some" contact with their head.. I guess it's a free pass to not get checked? :poop:

This is exactly what I expected from Buttman. He may as well appeal this too. Its almost seems like a waste of time. Even if he wins the appeal he will serve the 20 games.
I think we all agree that Wilson crosses the line with some hits but he is not a dirty player. He is physical, plays fast and plays with an edge but he doesnt intentionally try to injure players.
A couple of days ago Mark Borowiecki got a 1 game suspension for a vicious elbow to the face of Vaakanainen. I dont care if its his first offence or not. The elbow was intentional. I can't figure out how the NHL decides what disciplinary action should be taken for each offense. Wilson get 20 games, the next guy get 1 or Marchand gets only 5 for a vicious elbow that resulted in a concussion and that was his 6th suspension. There is a check to the head in almost every game that is played but 95% of them aren't even reviewed. Probably because the player wasnt injured. The NHL is a fucking joke.

ain't nothin I can add that hasn't been said, other than I've lost some respect for league management
alright, I've lost a lot of respect, as if it was possible at this point
