Routine hits don’t end with the hit-ee getting carted off the ice. Something was different about this hit, and if the point of penalties is to dissuade dirty play and protect players, this was a penalty. Boarding or checking from behind; Moore hit the boards like a ragdoll.

How was that clean? Wilson put his shoulder into the number on Moore’s back, thereby driving Moore’s face into the glass. That’s boarding, and given the injury, Wilson is probably going to have a little chat with Player Safety to start off 2017.

Tom Wilson is a goon who shouldn’t be in the league. He won’t be suspended though. Blah blah something something tough hockey blah.
