Ah yes, spittinchiclets is so much different than barstool sports.

Was not expecting this from Scott. Would love to see Whitney do his crybaby routine in front of him.

Yup. Slamming a guy to the ice by pulling his hair totally happens every night.

EDIT: She's right in that, if it was just the punch from just about any other player in the league, we probably wouldn't be talking about this before the announcement. But, this is Tom Wilson - who was already suspended this season - and body slam on Panarin was not a run of the mill event. Wilson goes over the edge all too frequently, clearly didn't really learn from the 20 game suspension he got a couple seasons ago, and regularly makes plays that (sometimes intentionally, I'd wager) endanger the health of his opponents. This slap on the wrist is not enough for a player with his history.

If nothing else, he needed to be taken out of the rematch tomorrow.

Wish the Rags had a guy that could take him out. He's one player that deserves it.
The DOPS really blew this one which is no surprise.

Couldn't agree more with Scott.
 
The league is getting a lot of heat for this, and rightfully so - but, it's not like they'll do anything about it. They won't want to look like they're bowing to pressure from teams, fans, the media, etc. What will be telling will be how they react to the next incident, which, with the intensity of the games starting to ramp up for the playoffs, is almost certainly coming soon.

Remember what Kadri got suspended for?

What time? Cross checking DeBrusk in the head, hammering Wingels head into the boards, cross checking Glendening in the face, head shot on Fraser, taking out a goalie(Backstrom)?

Good on Bettman to step in though if that is infact true.
As for this case, Wilson should have at the very minimum been booted for the next game against the Rags. Some kind of suspension...what Parros has done now is created open season on the stars. Grab them and throw them on the ice...no suspension or penalty.

This is insane. I have no idea how Parros wasn't immediately fired for that. How do you go from "I don't want to suspend him" to "ok 7 games".

I don't know if it this looks worse the league for not replacing him or Parros himelf.
