Tom Wilson gets seven games for that hit? Yeah, he has history, seven games in a fifty six game season? 

What’s the normal suspension for a head shot?  Two games?  5 games?

The guy from SI has a point.

Depends on how many times you've been suspended.  Progressively increasing ... except in this case its less than half of his last suspension.

That doesn’t make sense...is Shanahan still in charge of player safety?

But the NHL DPS video specifically says Wilson is not a "repeat offender" because he's had no incidents for 18 months. 

Either he's a repeat, or he's not. 

Seven games makes sense for a repeater, but they say he's not. < confused >

Watch from 1:02 to 1:04 of the video here (https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/capitals-ovechkin-calls-wilsons-seven-game-suspension-kind-joke/) from NHL DPS. 

Wilson's primary impact is into the armpit of the Bruin. 

Now watch the video from the start, including all the messing with Wilson that had been going on before that. 

The Bruins suckered and baited Wilson and he foolishly bit at the first opportunity.

ESPN could bring back Thorne (he said he'd come back from what I've heard) and bring in Ben Holden and then just get rid of "when mom keeps the peanut butter".

That would be unbelievable...a guy can dream right?
