However, Leafs fans might be surprised to hear Gregor has no hard feelings about the incident. He said that the Capitals forward immediately apologized to him and helped make sure he didn't fall after the play, which could have made his injuries worse.
One would think that Wilson would have learned his lesson by now, but it seems that he just can't avoid suspensions for more than a couple years at a time. Hopefully this will be the last suspension the 29-year-old receives in his NHL career, but most fans of the NHL won't be holding out too much hope for that.
That being said, some fans and analysts alike have pointed out that this suspension feels different. Gregor revealing that Wilson was immediately remorseful seems to have made this situation more complicated that at first thought.
