Three things about the @Capitals Tom Wilson suspension 1. Why 6 games? Despite his history, it’s his 1st stick foul suspension. I think the NHL considered total history, but this didn’t build on any specific previous suspension. Was also his 1st DoPS infraction since May 2021. https://t.co/gstaBxRCM0

The mood around this is so strange because there was immediate remorse from Wilson and Noah Gregor didn’t even seem to care when asked about it. It’s a reckless play and can’t happen but the six games is definitely Tom Wilson paying the Tom Wilson tax, which he’s earned. https://t.co/sXhleMxwJe

Tom Wilson. 6 Games.
I understand a suspension for Tom Wilson. But 6 games feels like yet another example of him paying the Willy tax. The play was bad even if he didn't mean to hit the face. But it happened. A couple games made sense to me. Six is a lot. Very 'he's Tom Wilson' of the NHL.

Gregor said Wilson apologized in the moment. "I don’t think he’s trying to slash a guy in the face. I don’t think anyone in the league is ever trying to do that. Probably a little reckless with the stick and unfortunately got me, but I’m fine. The league will handle it." #Leafs
