Little new can be said about Tom Wilson‘s hit on Lubomir Visnovsky, or even John Carlson’s ‘late’ shot at the end of Game 6, which led to a scuffle. What becomes apparent, however, is how many folks don’t understand certain nuances of this game, or feel they’re on target with the pace of the game while having the luxury of hitting the ‘stop’ button on the tape and passing judgment well after the fact.
Hockey players, coaches and educated fans understand this: Decisions get made in milliseconds, are committed to, and exercised.
