This comes after one of the more chaotic weeks in NHL history as Tom Wilson, the Rangers and the Capitals have been dead smack in the middle of it. The debate begins now as to what was worse...Wilson's antics or Buchnevich's crosscheck???

In other news, the Rangers were fined $250,000 by the NHL for their statement regarding George Parros' decision-making. A friendly reminder Wilson was not suspended and was fined only $5000. 

Pavel Buchnevich's one-game suspension will cost him $28,017.24 in salary -- or roughly .51 #BTC
