The Rangers say they are 'extremely disappointed' by the NHL's lack of suspension for Tom Wilson and believe that George Parros, the head of league's Department of Player Safety, is 'unfit to continue in his current role.'

and believe that George Parros, the head of league's Department of Player Safety, is"unfit to continue in his current role."

"Wilson’s dangerous and reckless actions caused an injury to Artemi Panarin that will prevent him from playing again this season. We view this as a dereliction of duty by NHL Head of Player Safety, George Parros, and believe he is unfit to continue in his current role." The sum is the maximum allowed for the incident under the collective bargaining agreement, but Rangers feel the penalty is insufficient considering Wilson's actions in the fracas, during which he was also seen delivering a shot to the back of the head/neck area of Buchnevich while he was prone on the ice and later tossing a helmet-less Artemi Panarin to the ice."I just think it's a joke, to be honest with you," said Rangers forward Ryan Strome.

Fire Parros

Not a ranger fan but they are spot on and yet they follow this with a 2 game suspension of Ghost for a little shove.

Rating booster for sure making to much money to play nice

I likeTomWilson as a player but he gores over the line sometimes.When he starts causing star players like Panarin to miss time he needs to be suspended.Idk what gets in his head sometimes.He is a valuable player to the Caps w/o needing to be excessively physical.

Wilson's $5000 fine, equates to $96 fine for somone who makes $100,000. Probably won't see the end of this s***!

What we all know is that Parros running NHLPlayerSafety is like Ted Bundy managing a school dorm. It’s a baaaad choice! NHL NYRangers Capitals

Bush league operation!!

If I were a NYRangers fan I'd be “extremely disappointed” in my team's reluctance to ice a couple of $750k nuke bombs to keep Tom Wilson in line.

I hope the Rangers bring up 3 goons from the AHL and teach the Capitals and Wilson a lesson.

GeorgeParros was indeed unfit for this position years back !! NHLPlayerSafety

He is clearly unfit, his CTE gets in the way of making a common sense decision. Only the NHL would hire someone with CTE to hand out league discipline ... joke league

I agree 1000% !!

Absolutely !!!! PARROS shit the bed and Betman is a total clown for allowing this garbage to go on. POS TOM WILSON is going to really hurt someone and player safety and Betman should be held personally accountable

They’re right!

And they are absolutely correct!

The Rangers just want anyone fired who is not their GM. 🤷

They are right!

STOP IT

Well parros u fuc this up I still believe Wilson sitting for that game

💯 agree with them!

Fire those refs

Agree with NYR. Letting go of ‘92 with Graves. They are correct in ‘21 about Wilson. League laid an egg. 🐥🐣

Wilson should be a career minor leaguer.

From what I have seen in hockey it's the violence that attracts people to the sport. I won't watch it because of that violence. I find it to be disgusting.

Right on Rangers!

NHL has been having a real rough year between this and the whole ref hot mic situation. When do we start calling for Bettman's head?

Parros was a bad players but he is even worst in that new job. No wonder ratings are bad.

Rangers should call open season on wilson!

Boohoo

A past goon letting a goon do his job, nothing new. Disgusting he only got off with a fine, player safety should’ve been all over that with his past history

Everyone outside Washington is very disappointed with this bullshit call! WTF is $5000 going to do Seriously, whomever is making these decisions needs to be fired immediately!! Wilson is a peace of shit that doesn't deserve to play in the NHL!!! BanWilsonForLife

im extremely disappointed by our soft organization. Call up Geertsen and stop whining like a bitch

George Parros was a goon too, what do you expect

Wilson is the new Raffi Torres, Matt Cooke....but has more hockey talent just not the brain to go with it. He is dangerous and is going to seriously hurt someone; come he could have really hurt Panarin. It’s remarkable how Capitals defend him careless

Count former NHL enforcer John Scott among those puzzled by the discipline doled out to Tom Wilson for his role in a skirmish involving the Rangers Monday night. Coming from the guy who jumped Phil Kessel, this is hilarious Been saying Parros needs to fired This is a travesty.

Rangers' Strome calls decision to not suspend Tom Wilson 'a joke' - Sportsnet.ca'I just think it's a joke, to be honest with you.' Ryan Strome shared his thoughts on the Tom Wilson situation and why he thinks it deserved a suspension. Strome is right. In my opinion, the reason for the laughable fine on Goon Wilson is Georgie boy has bets on the Capitals to win the cup. No other reason and the writing is on the wall. He's not wrong, As a NJ fan, I hate the NYRangers. But if I'm them, I sit my skilled players and start the toughest guys on my AHL team. I have them turn the next game into a clown show and make runs at Wilson and Wash skilled players. Don't care if I lose 10-0. FAN590 He's not wrong. There can be a middle ground here. Does Wilson deserve to get kicked out of hockey, of course not. Should he have been suspended, of course he should have. Once again, the NHL is making the simple look difficult.

'Just horrible': Rangers call out Tom Wilson for actions during brawlTom Wilson crosschecked a defenseless Pavel Buchnevich in the back of the head before slamming a helmetless Artemi Panarin to the ice and punching him in the face. Wilson then flexed in the penalty box afterwards before being sent off the ice. Him again it's gonna take him seriously hurting another player or ending someone's career where law enforcement has to step in since NHL NHLPlayerSafety won't The NHL is a joke. I’m expected to watch this game with my daughter? The game has always been rough but I was under the impression they were trying to clean it up and promote skill. I guess this is the version of hockey they want to showcase... goonsquad
