No drama, just hockey. After Tom Wilson smashed Pavel Buchnevich’s head into the ice and only got a $5,000 fine, things have been going badly in the NHL. On Tuesday night, Sidney Crosby did a similar act on Travis Konecny, and the New York Rangers released a strongly-worded statement calling out the league and George Parros at Player Safety.
Last night, the Capitals and Rangers played again and the game didn’t exactly go smoothly. 141 minutes in penalties were handed out as the two teams fought six times. However, the main story from the game was TJ Oshie scoring a hat trick only days after his father passed away.
