Was Hit By Tom Wilson On Anton Blidh Clean? Social Media Chimes In

BOSTON -- TD Garden wasn't pleased with Washington Capitals right winger Tom Wilson on Thursday night.

The Boston Bruins welcomed the Capitals to town for an Eastern Conference showdown and with just under five minutes remaining in the first period Wilson laid a massive hit on Bruins forward Anton Blidh that sent him to the locker room.

There was no call on the ice, but that didn't stop social media from analyzing whether there should've been a penalty on the play or not.

hit is fine, hope blidh is good. just don't get involved in the shenanigans now, focus on the 2 points.

Sorry #NHLBruins fans but that was a clean hit by #AllCaps forward Tom Wilson on B's forward Anton Blidh. In fact, it was a textbook, old school hockey hit that you'd be cheering on if a Bruins player did it.@BOSHockeyNow

Clean hit. Brutal hit. This is one of the many reasons the #NHL is awesome to watch. #Capitals #Bruins https://t.co/jUEsN0Eem6
