From
where I sit it looks like the NHL is asking for trouble...
According
to the league, Schenn turned when he saw Wilson coming and that added
to the severity of the hit. I'm sorry, but that's a load of crap.
For starters, that's blaming the victim. Sure, Schenn saw Wilson
coming. So what? That doesn't mean Wilson gets a free shot. And
even if Schenn doesn't turn it's still a devastating hit in a
dangerous position. It's also taking the responsibility away from
Wilson, and by extension all other hitters. I'm afraid we are not
far away from seeing a player end up in a wheelchair from a
'clean'/legal hit. There was no reason not to suspend Wilson for
that hit. It was dangerous. It was reckless. It was stupid. And
the NHL is being just as dumb.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
I agree with you completely, Tim re this. Ridiculous! Cannot be allowed to happen.
