honestly not sure why Wilson went for this hit, the second he started skating to make the hit, it was already a blindside shot. Bad hit by Wilson here, unfortunate that Kuraley was falling but Wilson shouldn’t have made this hit, it’s dangerous
The issue with some fans will look at this hit by Wilson or any player who plays on the edge as dirty even if it's clean. That's the stigma mindset of most people. This was not one of those hits by Wilson but I hope Kuraly is okay.
Was Wilson going to try and blow him up? Yes. But at 1:02, Tom tucks his shoulder in once he acknowledges his target was falling. Unfortunate play, but I don't think it was meant to be dirty
Wilson didn’t do anything wrong here, the guy was falling as Wilson was engaged in the hitting motion. It was too late for him to back off and it was just an unfortunate series of events.
Just another moment where the receiving player just magically puts their head in Tom Wilson's elbow's way. Amazing how often it happens to poor old Tom Wilson.
Its an unlucky situation, I would say. Tom Wilson was already commited to the check when Kuraly started to fall. So Kuraly just got really unlucky here. There is no fault for anyone and the only thing you can say here is, shit happens.
Why torture yourself watching these soccer players on ice. Serg just posted the last 10 games of the '97 Red Wings playoffs. Go watch some good hockey.
If Carlson hadn't tripped Kuraly it just would've been a huge but clean hit. Don't think there was much more that Wilson could've done differently in that situation. He didn't blast him or extend the arm or elbow, just had momentum that created unavoidable contact. Unfortunate outcome but this one isn't his fault.
Ok couple things 1) I think this hit is ok. Kuraly was falling so more just an unfortunate coincidence. 2) Eddie Olczyk falling all over him to defend Tom Wilson over and over again is freaking disgusting. 3) Wilson acting all offended that people even asked about the hit is indicative of the arrogance and disregard for his fellow players that the guy plays with. Dude, you have a long track record of injuring your opponents. Stop acting like it's some sort of insult when people ask you about the hits you throw. It is the obvious questions and a reporter who didn't ask you about it wouldn't be doing his job. If you don't want to answer the questions then stop trying to hurt people.

What a predatory POS.
Tbh that one was clean, Kuraly just fell at a bad time.
Boston players are the biggest bunch of pussies in the NHL.

Kuraly was trying to duck, soft
Will this hit be reviewed by player safety because it's Wilson?

This is definitely not his fault for once.everything else in that game was a referee disaster but they did get this one thing right
Keep your head up when Wilson is on the ice.
Fuck Tom Wilson but it's clean

Wilson always looks for someone who's vulnerable to try and hurt them.

HOWEVER! This was fractions of a second, and I will not hold this hit against him.

This wasn’t dirty because kuraly fell but just by the way tom goes from 0 to 100 when he sees someone to hit makes me think he enjoys hurting people.
