Wow that's a really ugly incident.
This twitter I thought they intent was malicious but this YouTube view is ugly:
It is weird that after.Wilson whacks him across the face, it seems afterward Wilson is trying to hold him up.
recall Perron got 6 with ZERO previous discipline.
these guys are a fucking joke.
I'm guessing maybe Gregor's response that Wilson "apologized immediately" must have been taken into account...?

I've been of the mind that Wilson sometimes gets a bad rap. Definitely does stupid things, but sometimes a bad rap. Regardless of the apology, this was egregious. Given the history, I think this should have been more. "Sorry" or not... Don't be such an effing idiot!
Parros should not have this job.
Holy fuck, only 6 games. Thought 10 would be the number. Wilson has crossed the line way too many times, plus all the borderline crap.
