The NHL blew it (yet again) in the curious case of Tom Wilson

On Sunday afternoon during Game 2 of the Penguins and Capitals 2nd round playoff series at the Capital One Arena, Tom Wilson yet again was Tom Wilson, putting a shoulder to the head of Brian Dumoulin.

We’ve all seen the replays by now, but for those who may have missed it:

Wilson tag-teamed Dumoulin with Alexander Ovechkin (who I believe did absolutely nothing wrong here.)

Dumoulin was bracing for contact from Ovechkin and Wilson took advantage of his vulnerable position and tried to send him into next week.
