I understand the anger with Parros, but let's not forget how many of similarly dirty plays Matthew Tkachuk is in the middle of. Didn't he just recently land on a goalie's head by "accident" ? And I do recognize that Wilson's punch was nothing accidental. There are hundreds of similar plays every season. I mean Crosby's rumble the other day is not THAT much different. But it's Sid the Kid so the media is ok with it, a star protecting himself. Next time McD throws an elbow in somebody's head he will get praise as a frustrated star that the league doesn't protect.

Mathew Tkachuk or Sidney Crosby have never smacked a skilled players face (Buchnevich) into the ice in a scrum and then followed it up with a head/body slam of a helmet-less super star player (Panerin).
