To me there are two issues.
First is that it was from behind, he left his feet and targeted the head. That should be more than enough to warranty it being looked into and is 100% suspendable, shouldn't matter if Wilson sold it or not.

Second is that it is questionable enough that if it's not looked into and made public that it's being looked into. That's when players will (and should) take it into their own hands and that's where Stralman or someone else will get hurt. If the league wants to calm things down. At least say it's under review publicly

That's the thing, I dont see him targeting the head, it was from behind but slightly from the side too. It was also close to the boards so it's not dangerous and Wilson, while in a bit of a compromising position, still fully expected to get hit. He left his feet but I'd argue that it was after contact which is allowed. Wilson selling it makes it seem worse than it is, if a player fakes being injured and talks about it after the game that influences your perception of the incident.

It's a penalty 100% but I dont see how Stralman did anything outside of the rules to intentionally or recklessly injure Wilson and therefore doesn't deserve a suspension.

If the Oshie launch to Letang's head went unpunished then so should this.

If Wilson isn't bending over trying to play the puck, Stralmann would have hit him square in the back not the head....

See how stupid these arguments are... The action should be punished not the result.

It should be a suspension based on the action but it won't be based on past precedent IMO.

are you serious? of course he targeted the head, he jumped and his elbow made contact with Wilson's head.

There are 3 infractions here

#1. Skates off the ice
#2. Hit from Behind
#3. Targeting and making contact with Wilson's head

All three are suspendable.

- Maverick1818

His elbow made contact with Wilson back, watch it again 50 times til you see straight.

That hit was 10 times worse than any hit Wilson has made.

From behind, Wilson had no chance to brace or defend himself, aimed for the head and jumped off the ice.

Wilson got 3 games, I'd say this deserves at least 3 or more

I love how 99% of fans are saying the hit was dirty and suspend-able.

All Butthurt Pens fans are saying clean hit.

Not making fun of anyone but I just think it's interesting... Kind of shows a ton of bias

- Maverick1818


Dude, get over yourself. You guys won. Outstanding. It only took 9 tries. That is called the laws of inevitability. We are not butt hurt. We are proud. You are a poor winning Richard. That said, I said a game.

Facts of the situation are facts. He saw it coming. He turned. Not a head shot. No history. Was penalized. The laughable thing was that Wilson actually took to the media for sympathy. That is butt hurt. He throws boarder line hits nearly every game. Recieving one should be listed as A$$HAT KARMA.

Not at all, If an Ottawa player gave a dirty hit like that, I'd be the first one to say he should be suspended.

There is such thing as being a fan of a team and supporting your players and another completely to have bias. Key is to stick with facts and that facts are in the Stralman hit, he hit from behind, left his feet and targeted the head... it's suspendable

- Maverick1818

How can you use the word "facts" and then offer your subjective opinion that he targeted the head in the same sentence?
I am sure of one fact, and that is that you and Alfiesalad would definitely get a great 2 for 1 deal on deleting both of your accounts.

If you get of your 4 inch phone screen and go back down into your parents basement.
You can watch it on your big computer screen, then you will see clearly too.

Wilson saw him coming, didn't try & protect himself - that's something I heard when ZAR got hit by Wilson or something similar. Stralman first contact was his shoulder. He raised his elbow but because Wilson ducked it missed (unfortunately).

Was it a dirty hit? Yep! Would Wilson do the same? Yep. If the league is consistant Stralman shouldn't be playing for a game or 2 but there was no injury, just Wilson dogging it again like he usually does. Lying on the ice to get a penalty, did he go to the room just to make it even better?

Don't the Habs need scoring? I realise their dire need for a true #1C but Toews???

If he was good, why would the Hawks trade him when they need a C as well?? Aren't they saying adieu to AA as well? I hope P Kane can play C.......

No suspension. Wilson knew he was going to be hit and put himself in a bad spot by bending over.
