Caps lucky to escape given the blown goal call and the NHL replay review process

he isnt wrong. That clear 5 min major hit did change the series. But like most of the series the refs ate the whistles in big moments.

Intetesting that in their pregame show tonight ESPN showed 2 videos of this hit and in both showed Wilson clearly going into Carrier's shoulder & body but not his head.

He never even makes any body contact at all. its all head/neck contact until well after the initial contact.

He left his feet as well.

what angle do they show

I dont talk with pro coaches. But college ones, thats a DQ and a multi game suspension

The rules are a bit different though. In college its actually reviewed.

You read the comments in the URL and everyone pretty much in agreement it was not a clean hit
Same as when i listened to NHL on XM the next day

And then they fire one of the refs for being hooked up on a gambling site.
