Kuz back on the ice..

The fact that we all know that if Willy did that he'd have another vacation is what we are all upset about. Even the team knows this, they said so after a game last season. It gives the appearance that the league isn't really cracking down on head hits, only certain players for being too physical. The only good part with the Oshie incident is others outside of the DC market are starting to say as much too.

Only if it is determined the action in guestion warrants supplemental discipline will they consider the injuries in determining what the penalty should be. So with respect to Oshie and Kuzy it determined that Oshie being thrown to the ice and Kuzy being elbowed in the chin did not warrant any punishment. I think it is safe to say that if Wilson did either of those actions the determination would have been different.

Actually they do take injuries into account. When Wilson got his 20 game suspension the injury was part of the formula.

Read 4Caps post again, bud.
It is totally logical!
Injury is a FACTOR, that can be considered, in determining the LENGTH of the suspension!
BUT, it first has to be judged a SUSPENDABLE offense by DOPS!
If it’s determined by DOPS to be LEGAL, then there is NO SUSPENSION handed down! Therefore, no suspension TIME, to have to be considered, injury or otherwise!!
