For those of us that didn’t know about the high stick….

 

[fancy lad]

WTF league never goes after teams that go dirty on us. If it was one of our guys, they'd be called in for an in person heari... wait nevermind.

j/k.

It looked really bad live. i thought Gregor would be way worse for wear.

 

[SprDaVE]

I don't understand how this wasn't a 5 and automatic ejection. Right in front of the ref. Insane.

But at least he'll get a good long suspension.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

His last one was in 2021 a 7 gamer. I'm guessing 10 games.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Man that’s bizarre, even for Wilson. Have some impulse control, man. Is he getting coked out of his mind before games?

 

[AvroArrow]

Wilson is an idiot, 5 games I imagine ?

 

[tmlms13]

The wheel keeps on spinning. Remember when TSN had that monkey pick series winners like on wheel of fortune. Maybe that's what they have in their head office.

Nice little reference to some of his past incidents.

Here is every major suspension, incident, fine and hit in Tom Wilson's NHL career

Tom Wilson has accrued quite the list of dustups in his NHL career.

It was completely intentional, but why? Did Gregor do something?

 

[Roo]

it was unintentional, not sure why he'd get a hearing.

EDIT: looking at that replay again that was just stupid. nothing incidental about it.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Just a guess with the way Reaves has operated this year.

If Reaves is in this game Wilson may have subconsciously controlled his stick a little better...

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

I'm surprised he didn't start beating Gregor's ass after too.

Wilson's getting soft in his old age. It looked like he actually apologized. A few years ago he would have been throwing haymakers.

Doing the biggest man pose in the box after.

Stupid is as stupid does. And Wilson is a moron. I wouldn't expect anything less from him by now.

It's not like he can use his stick to score a goal or anything.

This guy has been gooning it up for years. Even Joe Casual weekender knows who Tom Wilson is. His reputation for dirty plays bordering on the edge of acceptability is well known for good reason.

It's too bad he isn't on the Leafs.

 

[DarkKnight]

It was so intentional, what a dirty pos.

 

[trellaine201]

Probably 5 games BUT should be more.

 

[Maple Leaf]

They should also suspend rempe for being a bitch

 

[Menzinger]

He will deserve more games than he is eventually given. Needs to be at least 8+ with a denied appeal

Calling him a repeat offender is the understatement of the century.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Calling him a repeat offender is the understatement of the century.

I’d say 5 games.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Probably get less games than Rielly

What a dirty POS

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Such an unnecessary play.

Should be more than Rielly for sure considering the situation and the fact that he’s a repeat offender.

 

[Stephen]

I'm just thankful Rielly didn't get an in-person hearing for Wilson's act there.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I'm surprised Gregor isn't getting a hearing. The NHL is really missing an opportunity here

 

[ULF_55]

I didn't think it was intentional.

To me it looked careless.

Almost overreaction by DOPS to show MLSE that they will protect Leafs players. DOPS has an aroma.

Imo carless play regardless of intention still deserve higher penalties if need be. Too many very reckless hits get thrown that end up being headshots ect

It was completely intentional, but why? Did Gregor do something?

Guy's a head case. He's been doing the knuckle-dragging antics his whole career.
