The only thing is when Wilson runs Panarin into next week in retaliation and he's down will it be worth it? I don't think so.
Keep the hits hard and clean and they'll be much better off. Keep knocking guys out of games and it will eventually catch up to them. That's what I'm worried about. We have way more to lose then they do.
Avoid the late ones, there's plenty of opportunities to make the same ones on time. He's going to have an awful time digging himself out of the hole with the officiating with each one like that.
Stay strong, wishing you a full and fast recovery. A friend just had the same surgery (though the front to rebuild the back) and he's doing great. Rough first few days then instant relief compared to how he was prior.
