The National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety has announced a six-game suspension without pay for Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson following an incident involving high-sticking Toronto Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor during their game on Wednesday, March 20, in Washington. The infraction took place at 12:13 of the third period, resulting in Wilson receiving a double-minor penalty for high-sticking. As per the Collective Bargaining Agreement and considering his average annual salary, Wilson will forfeit $161,458.32. #hockey #nhl #hockeyhighlights #torontomapleleafshighlights

I thought 6 to 8 games. Elliotte Friedman thought 6 to 10. George Parros gave Wilson a break.
Should be done for the season, at least, including any playoffs.
With five previous suspensions, it’s clear he never learns. He really should be out of hockey. Period.
This makes me happy
Should have been arrested for battery and kicked out of the league. Have no idea why the NHL has put up with this piece of human garbage for so long.
What did the great deterrent Ryan reaves do in response?
Definitely should be done for season. This isn't a one-off incident, he's a repeat offender.
SON OF A BITCH. COWARD. FILTH OF THE NHL. MEDIOCRE PLAYER. I recall Ted Greene of the Bruins who ofter swung his stick viciously, and often. Then a younger player was faster, and cracked his skull .. violence, but self-defense.. and Greene had a metal plate put into his head. Sad, for us decent people, Greene got what he deserved. God may see to it that Wilson gets his just punishment … I hate his guts. Let us not talk about a filthy teamate of WIlson's.. yes.. OVECHKIN …
damn, he got him real good ! but that was definitely a 'slap shot' type of move … hanson brothers !
The NHL needs to boot Wilson out of the NHL for good, he’s gonna kill somebody one of these days!
