This looks like it could be a long suspension.

Five games ago, Wilson had this late hit (video below). I blame the DOPS. If they had suspended Wilson at the time, maybe even for one game or two, then he probably doesn't do this again so soon after, especially considering he's already been suspended numerous times, including a 20-game suspension (later reduced to 14 games).

Watch the replay again but look closely at Wilson's stick. It goes from being on the ice to being 12 feet in the air. You can't hit a guy cleanly when that is the path of your hands holding your stick.
As a repeat repeat repeat offender, I am guessing he will get 8 games. That may be adjusted to 6 as the season is shorter than normal.
The head isn’t the principle point of contact. Based on every other similar unpunished hit this season he will get nothing.

Frank Seravelli actually agrees with you and to be honest, I can see where Frank is coming from. Don't get me wrong, I think Wilson is one of the biggest pieces of shit in the game, but I'm not sure it was a illegal hit. Click on the link to the tweet below and Seravelli follows up the one I quoted with others.

This will be an unpopular tweet, and that’s fine, because I don’t conclude based on reputation or narrative.
My opinion: Tom Wilson’s hit on Carlo is not illegal.
Carlo’s head is not the main point of contact. Break it down, sure looks like he gets chest/torso first. [Thread] https://t.co/10fhMN1CAt

The NHL DOPS disagrees with the clean hit take. Wilson has been offered an in person hearing which means the suspension can be longer than 5 games.
I feel like going back and watching one of the first Rock Em Sock Em's and counting how many now illegal hits there are. Could even make a better game of it.

I agree Wilson is crap. But the DOPS an even bigger piece of shit....
Had any or all (as they should have been) of these been suspensions maybe they get through to Wilson this year? Probably not. But all of these are dirty unnecessary and dangerous - but were seen by DOPS as ok.
Yes these are all Habs players. But that’s who I watch all the time. The lack of suspension on all three of these tells players like Wilson it’s ok to walk that line. DOPS is actively making the game more dangerous.
