Willy's Free!

At long last, nearly two months after landing a clean open ice hit, Tom Wilson's adjudication has been completed.  His previous 20 game suspension was reduced to 14 games.  By "pure chance", and in no way because of Gary Bettman's desire to push the appeal as far back as possible, Wilson will end up having missed the first 16 games of the year.

No matter.  Fresh legs, and a nice refund of his suspension money.

 I hope he kept a list of the dirty play thus far.  Like Brad Marchand jumping Lars Eller.  Especially that.  That rematch is coming up in mid January.  Can't wait.
