Cheap Shot Tom? - a podcast by ASFB Productions

Is it a case of Tom Wilson being Tom Wilson, or was his reputation punished rather than the hit? Did the league react because of the backlash on Twitter?

Either way, Boston Bruins responded with a 5-1 win after Brandon Carlo exited the game. Eventually the Washington Capitals' winger was suspended for seven games. It’s hard for Toronto Maple Leafs’ fans Clare and Jolon to deny even they had a smidge of sympathy for Brad Marchand… But it did leave us wondering, what actually happens during a ’Player Safety Hearing’?

New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes continue to storm ahead, whilst Buffalo Sabres seem unable to dig themselves out of a deep dark hole.

Plus, coaching switches for Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens, a change of direction for GB’s NHL potential Liam Kirk and some reflections on the women’s role within hockey - both in the game and on air…

Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions.
