It's mind-numbingly stupid to not punish someone because no one got hurt. How friggin dense does this league have to be? First, no punishment (other than fake punishment) on Kessel for his lumberjack act, then crap like this from this Wilson punk. Shanny needs to de-insert his cranium from his rectum soon. Everyone's all up in arms about Parros and Orr for that fight (and the injury that I really think was accidental), but the result would have been just as bad and intentional had Bouma's melon hit the ice.
This is why attempted murder is still a crime. Not saying it's on par, just as an example that trying to do something and not succeeding should still be as big of a crime as trying to and succeeding.
