I was set today to sit down and write a story about being disappointed in the discipline handed down by the Department of Player Safety (DoPS) to Tom Wilson for his hit on Zach Aston-Reese. What I got instead was the DoPS surprising me. For his illegal check to the head of Zach Aston-Reese, Tom Wilson was suspended three playoff games. In the below video George Parros breaks down why the league chose to suspend Wilson in a step-by-step manner that’s really concise and a good watch to understand the situation.

Can't say I'm surprised Wilson actually got 3 games. No. We need a more powerful word. Shocked. Stunned. Speechless.<\/p>\n
