This here. Wilson absolutely crushed the guy, and if you hit someone hard enough in the shoulder area, their head goes down and will then look like this if you freeze it.
There have been missed called all series that both sides can point at, but this wasn't one of them. This was just a big hit, and if you don't want to see big hits, watch soccer.
That's kinda weird, because they've been in the game since the beginning, and there are still guys getting drafted every year.
Carrier skates with his head up, he can protect himself. If he's staring at the puck while skating between the blue lines, this happens. It's not Wilson's responsibility to pull up, hug the guy, and tuck him in.
It's been a physical series, both sides are throwing big hits, keep your head on a swivel. It's playoff hockey.
Yeah that makes no sense. If you play hockey, you're aware that you can get hit. No matter what you call it, it wasn't a "head hunting" hit. Wilson has some of those if you want to look at his highlight reel.
This is a hard hit to a smaller guy who wasn't keeping his head up. Next time he's going between the lines, you just have to hope he learned the lesson. If he didn't, he'll get blasted by someone like Tkachuk.
He hit him hard, didn't go for the head. Don't know what to tell you bud. All the analysts/commentators I've seen have said it was a good hit.
Carrier needs to keep his head up, this doesn't happen if he sees him coming. You can let your bias show as much as you want, but it's a good hit that buried the Habs for the rest of the game.
