Predatory hits by players with well established bad reps don’t deserve the many chances they get.
Take the caps Wilson as an example. To me he needs to clean up him game or get out.
Compare him with a guy like Ferland and there’s a huge difference . One is going out of his way to hit where the other is hitting but it’s a typical forecheck or backcheck .
Neal has had some past questionable hits but no where near the level he used too.
We have seen the Cooke’s , Marchments, Kane’s, Hatcher’s all change opposing players lives forever. The NHL wheel of justice is a Joke and we all know it.
I’ll never forget Matthew Lombardi, Marc Savard , Eric Lindros, Pat Lafontaine having their lives turned upside down .
All of it’s preventanble if they make the changes required . Players doing the harm should be suspended indefinitely until the return of the player hurt. Suspended players aren’t afraid of the light consequences and until something is done nothing will change.
