And let's not pretend that Wilson couldn't have been hurt by Panarin's jump. He could have fallen backwards on his head.

As Versteeg pointed out on 960 yesterday, NHL players know when they’re being grabbed by someone who wants to throw down, and when it’s just a crowd control effort that happens in scrums dozens of times a season.
Wilson was being grabbed by ‘4 PIM’ Artemi freakin’ Panarin. Any other player in the league would have shrugged it off. But Wilson is a nutbar who has no self control or regard for other players, so he went into berserker mode.
