Frank Seravalli says A) not an illegal hit and B) Wilson is no longer considered a repeat offender.
Unfortunately I agree with Seravalli's take on that hit. Yeah, that looks dirty, and it is borderline dirty, but I didn't see anything illegal there. Carlo's head getting crunched against the glass is just an unfortunate result of a hockey check.
Wilson has been offered an in-person hearing via Zoom for his hit on Carlo, which means the suspension can be longer than 5 games. Note that it’s for boarding, not head contact, a point Wyshynski made last night.
Or ... like I've been screaming for 5 years ... they could simply adopt the International rule and make all head contact illegal. You wouldn;t have to go full in on automatic suspensions like that version of the rule, but it would take the guesswork and BS justifications out of a situation where the NHL 100% struggles with the guesswork and BS justifications. Of course, you'd have to give a crap about your players to do that, and ... yeah. They really don't.This is why the NFL has the unprotected player rule. If a league feigns to care about player safety, they have to have a rule like that.
And all checks from behind are a 2 minute minor and 10 minute misconduct.Or ... like I've been screaming for 5 years ... they could simply adopt the International rule and make all head contact illegal.

One thing about Chicago is if they could suddenly plug both Jonathan Toews and Kirby Dach into the lineup at center late in the season and the playoffs and continue the play they have shown all year to date they would be a team that could give everybody fits in the division in the playoffs.They’d be fools not to, as long as it doesn’t do too much harm to their prospect pool. They don’t have anyone else’s draft picks to play with, just their own, absent this year’s 3rd rounder they gave up in the Andrew Shaw deal.
I see Wilson as probably the biggest predator in the entire league and maybe the only guy in the NHLPA that still would rather line up the biggest hit to hurt a guy than ever even consider the health and well being of his opponent. I’m not getting soft here, I love a clean and big hit as part of the game, but Wilson knows exactly what he is doing out there and his goal on most of these ugly ones is to send guys to the hospital.Yes. But Wilson is still a scum bag
I’ve stayed at that hotel many times, but not for at least a decade. Clearly my lack of business drove the place under.The Vegas Golden Knights had an interesting experience on Friday. They left their hotel for a game against the Sharks and returned to find the hotel had closed. They had to scramble to find accommodations at them;ast minute. Because of Covid protocols, the league had designated 1 approved hotel in each city, so the Blues need to find a new hotel for tomorrow night.
