'A joke.' 'Gutless.' 'Disappointed.' Members of the Rangers and the greater hockey world reacted to Tom Wilson avoiding suspension for his role in Monday's brawl. (RoryBoylen)

came in to help his teammate when he jumped on Wilson's back, but the six-foot-four, 220-pound Capitals winger had no trouble getting back to his feet again, fighting through another scrum and tossing the helmet-less Panarin to the ice.just two months ago, got two minors for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct on the play.

"The whole play from the start it was just Buchy trying to score a goal, jam the puck in, and everything from his stick on his neck or in the head and everything after that...and a defenceless player in Panarin, in my opinion, with no helmet on, a superstar in our league. I just think it's a joke. The fact Wilson also brings a level of offensive skill to his game makes him one of the more valuable modern day pugilists in the league.

"A lot of people probably wouldn’t believe me, but you never want to see a fellow peer get injured," Wilson said back then."They’re hockey players just like I am. This is their living. Their livelihood. When a guy goes down, it’s not a good feeling." At the heart of this incident is a player crossing another line and not appearing to have adapted to anything after a recent suspension -- he was flexing in the box in celebration after this one.

RoryBoylen Tom is a predator....goes and tosses around a guy that isn't in his weight class, not even a fighter. absolutely no class.....shouldn't be in the league

RoryBoylen Haha, the NFL fines players $5000 for uniform dress codes infractions haha !

RoryBoylen Knowing that Panarin is not a fighter, Wilson never dropped his gloves, he just grabbed his hair and threw him down to the ice. If he had started a fight instead and avoided the wrestling match, people wouldn’t think twice that what he did was wrong.

RoryBoylen NHL Hey Commish Boo-man, this is is what your players think of your Dept of Player Safety.

RoryBoylen 🤬

RoryBoylen Hmmmmm get a tough guy then, doesn’t look like Panarin can fill that role fot you.

RoryBoylen I dont understand what he did that was so wrong? It’s hockey, right?

RoryBoylen He's going to straight-up murder someone with the NHL being this cowardly. Should have been removed from the League long ago.

RoryBoylen Good job Wilson 🤝

RoryBoylen Wednesday night , Lets see who answers the bell? NYRangers ? oldtimehockey?
