The Wilson hit on Stankoven and the Trouba hit on Leonard are NOT the same – Tough Call Review
I’ve seen a lot of comparisons between the recent Wilson hit on Stankoven and the Trouba hit on Leonard earlier this year. Trouba’s was considered clean, but that doesn’t mean Wilson’s should be. They aren’t the same hit.
Trouba’s special is the chicken wing, which he doesn’t do in that hit. Wilson’s is lining up for a hit, realizing he’s spotted and won’t get impact, and throwing himself off his back foot to throw his shoulder into the other player’s head. Which is what he does here.
Trouba is making a play to ensure Leonard isn't bringing that puck out from behind the net. Wilson is making a play to ensure Stankoven hits the IR. As you broke down, Trouba is angled in the same direction as Leonard's momentum. Wilson goes on a direct intercept path and stays high. Filthy hit, filthy player.
Oh I see left shoulder vs right shoulder….now I get it. 🙄Both of these hits are through the body. If anything, Wilson's is less of a blindside hit than Trouba's. Trouba's hit was also border line from behind. Wilson changed direction to avoid hitting him into the boards. He also slows down significantly. You also say Wilson leans in? He get as low as possible, so his elbow doesn't make head contact. Leonard also missed weeks with an injury.
yoooo, can you review the ''obstruction'' on Nick Suzuki on the blue line just befor the OT Wild's goal today? I've seen a lot of call like that this year getting call and nott getting call so I dont really understand the criteria for a penalty…
“He has no escape route” as if a player turning his head and immediately getting hit has the time to look around for space to go and then decides to take some alternative route. The actual game isn’t played in slow motion. Also, what are you talking about with the left side? They are on the opposite side of the goal going in opposite directions. Sorry but this analysis is just bad and filled with non-arguments that makes 0 sense. You say that Trouba is going away from Leonard when they hit, can’t believe how you see that at all, he goes straight into him, then obviously his direction changes slightly from the impact, that’s just high school physics.

Looks the same to me
Yeah, Wilson clearly turns his body to get in position for the high hit on Stank whereas Trouba takes a more direct route to the shoulder of Leonard
If one of those is clean, both of them are clean.
