During a net-front scrum, Wilson punched a defenseless Pavel Buchnevich during a scrum in front of the net. He then grabbed Artemi Panarin by the hair, and flung him down to the ice like a rag-doll.

Now, it’s confirmed that Panarin will miss the rest of the year after he was dropped to the ice by the reckless Wilson.

Panarin, along with Trouba and Lindgren, are done for the season, per #NYR Coach Quinn.

Fans are reacting with rage to the small punishment for Tom Wilson after he legitimately took out Artemi Panarin for the remainder of the season.

Hopefully Artemi Panarin can make a full recovery soon enough.

As for Tom Wilson? The NHL needs to do what’s right and send the message that this type of behavior is not tolerated.
