Dear people who are always getting offended at everything,
Yeah, penalties are more severe when there is an injury. The NFL does this to some extent as well, but the NHL invented it. If Wilson bounces right back up, it’s probably a minor.
I watch this and feel like it was only a match penalty because of Wilson hitting his head on the ice. The hit itself is fine, aside from being late (and therefore interference), as you mentioned.
It was late. That’s why they called it interference.

Irony is fun.
At least they got those three offsides calls right.
The Steelers got hosed on 2 of those Chargers touchdowns -- the blatant missed offsides on the long Rivers pass, then the missed block in the back on the return touchdown. Not a stellar night for the officiating crew.
All true. The point of this blog was really just to show how weird this is, rather than to read anything more into it or to make any predictions off it.
He’s the best meltdown for sure, but I’m a little hung up on the “athlete” part.
Gotta go for the Senators. All of these teams are bad at their respective sports, and the Sens certainly meet that basic requirement. They were one goal away from the Stanley Cup Final in 2017 before crashing to earth the following season. But it’s the drilling down to bedrock with a litany of off-ice incidents that…
This is the correct take. The regional teams are cute and all, but truly elite-level ass requires that you be ass on the world stage. Congratulations, America!
USMNT hands down. Supposed deepest team ever, rigged qualifying system to help them make the World Cup, playing against Mexico and a bunch of banana republics, and still botched it. While the entire world watched and laughed.
This story falls in your lap and you don’t go with “Man Bites Shark?”
This should be a tournament bracket. Deadspin hasn’t done one of those in years.
Do they still care about being racist/sexist bro’s too?
I have zero idea how Peter Chiarelli still has a job after getting fleeced *MULTIPLE* times by Garth fucking Snow.
It definitely takes some skill and not being a total bonehead to coach an NHL team well but even before getting to the forwards Q had peak Keith, Seabrook, Hjal and Oduya playing in front of a good but not great Crawford. Randy fucking Carlyle won a Cup with a defence that wasn’t that deep and skilled.
