Perfectly legal hit some say??? That is why he was called for charging. He did not go after the puck, he targeted the head and took an extra step. Wilson is a punk with barely NHL skills.
Wilson stayed on his feet and did not jump. He didn't accelerate or charge at Visnovsky, and he led with his shoulder. The only thing that would make this possibly a penalty is because of the head contact, but Wilson did not deliberately aim for his head. This occurred because Visnovsky is significantly shorter than Wilson.
This was a dirty hit, and Im an islanders fan so you might call me biased but Visnovsky didn't have the puck, doesn't matter how close the puck is to him, he didn't have possession of it, should've been a suspension considering it cost the islanders the series
This is one of the most flawlessly executed hits in the history of hockey. Purely legal. Classical music should be played while rewatching this in slow motion, on repeat. Wilson is a brilliant composer of contact.
I saw the hit in person about 20 rows away. Clean hit but if someone does that to one of your players they shouldn't leave the ice without help from teammates.
if you idiots calling that a clean hit you must be mentally ill… its clearly very dangerous against rules hit… below up aiming to opponent head… Visnovsky ended is career after that hit… very bad….
I believe that like with Scott Stevens, you should be aware of where Wilson is when you're on the ice with him, and for the love of all things great about hockey…keep your head up you damn fools!
I don’t call it a dirty hit Wilson being a kid trying to make a name for himself not leaving his feet and making a hit late that looks dirty it could go both ways call me biased or not I think it’s not dirty no where near clean hit but Wilson did make a hit and had reactions
I was there, on that side of the ice in the 300s. I nearly lost my head saying it was a clean hit. Security came up after the end of the period, I was with a friend and sat on our step for the rest of the game (thankfully) was a hell of a night.

Can Wilson go to Boston? Haha
love this kid
Wilson's arms come up you have to keep them down
What a fuckin hit
Wilson is shihead
These refs are softies
So if your 6 foot 4 and your checking a 6 foot 2 guy It's gonna be a head hit especially if he ducks

It was hit shoulder on FACE, thats why it was a penalty.
Why are all those Islanders fans so upset? 2/3 of them didn't even see the hit.
Hit on Zadarov brought me here XD but this hit was most definitely interference. Everything else looked pretty clean though :/
Big Willy strikes again 😀
Wilson hit him so hard he knocked him out of the league.
That was late and possibly Dirty!
Aside from the Schenn hit a couple years back, Wilson is a clean player. Just a tank man

clear interference. Visnovsky never had possession.

I love when Pierre tries to explain why its "dirty"
Anyone else hear "He get's creamrolled by Wilson" at 0:07?! haha!!
Sportsnet, do you have footage of their brawl at the end of Game 6?

Wrong puck was not there that's interference all day
I don’t think he ever played another nhl game after that hit
LOL
Clean hit!
Im a ranger fan, i absolutely hat the isles.. but this was a dirty hit.. what a throwback
Rip him he retired 🙁
Wilson is a freight train. Thrilled he's on the Capitals. He's gotten better each year. A key player on their Cup championship team
And now there will be a series rematch this year
Reirden wants to talk about Predatory…
Wilson complaining about anders lee is a joke. He didn’t even play the puck
Slow it down it’s a straight hit to the head dirty for me
Wilson is hated by every non caps fan for a reason
this ended his career
kinggg

That is what you call a textbook reputation alone penalty. Terrible call

Meanwhile, Visnovksy's knees are bent at almost a 90 degree angle. God, I hate Pierre.
