Do a freeze frame on the hit. As Jonathan Marchessault is bouncing off Wilson's shoulder the puck is already on the next players stick. He has received the pass when JM gets hit.
The hit is late. Period. The vast majority of knowledgeable hockey people would call 0.5 seconds late. At least it was a body shot.
Late, like this (this hit is also boarding and from behind, unlike Monday's hit):
And, the 0.6 second rule is for suspension and video review purposes only, on the ice the call is at the referees discretion. I called it a penalty,I did not mention a suspension. I could even support a five minute major for that hit.
Furthermore, don't go looking for 'late hit' in the rulebook. It is not codified. Nor is 'blind-side' hit. The appropriate rule is Interference:
The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession.
The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence, to a player guilty of interfering with an opponent
The concept of 'immediately following' eludes Mr. Wilson. And perhaps the referees.
In the end, that is not a hit the league should want in the game.
