[@simonfarre4907]

@@randylahey8207 he did get suspended. As he should. 20 games is probably a bit light, considering history and force. It isn't a clean hit, he commits both charging, late hit and checking to the head, he has a movement upwards etc. It is not just about "keep your head up" - that only applies if your hit is strictly horizontal, but Wilson's hit isn't, he checks the head. So there is a common misunderstanding that players need to keep their head up to be aware and that isn't really what matters in cases like these. What matters here is that he checks with an upward motion; you can't defend against that regardless if you keep your head up.

Imagine being the coach and having to ask the ref for an "explanation" out of formality so you don't look weak. I know you gotta support your guys no matter what. But come on. Sometimes just tell your player to get the hell to the showers and you'll talk to him after the game about his bullsh*t.

[@rupasandhu6061]

Was the hit not allowed in this situation or a bit to hard making the blues player go down? Or should Wilson have gotten lower so as not to make head contact? Are you allowed to hit hard as you want if it is a clean check?

I liked the hit Ryan Reaves gave him earlier this year.

[@anirijackson]

Could someone explain why this is even a suspension to me? He didn't raise his elbow or fore-arm. It looks like he hit shoulder first and then head when he dropped it. It didn't seem like charging. And it was soon enough after the release of the puck to be legal from that respect. Sure, it's a rough hit to give in the pre-season, but seems pretty tame for getting a suspension.

[@sierrag8412]

​@@tykeboy16 This was 3 years ago... And while you are right that a blindside hit is not inherently a penalty in hockey. It is almost always a dangerous hit that ends in an injury, usually to the head. And the commentators still thought it was a fine hit, which it wasn't
