I'm more of a lurker than a poster so apologies if this is not appropriate or in the right place.
After this most recent Tom Wilson slap on the wrist I was thinking about what was the last Islanders incident that was so blatantly an intent to injure and what was the consequence. First thought was the Penguins brawl game so I pulled up YouTube to refresh my memory on the exact details.
Anyway, after rewatching the video, the second link that came up was for a podcast called Fight Stories and a segment of Trevor Gillies talking about that game. I figured it was going to be some dumb interview with a punch drunk former fighter and I'd turn it off after a minute or two. Was completely wrong. I not only watched that segment but it was a portion of a 2 hour interview for which I then watched all of.
A lot of content around coming up thru jrs, the E, the A, the NHL and ultimately the KHL as a hockey tough guy. How fighting worked. Tons of tidbits on players, coaches, GM's, owners, etc. (a bunch of Islander stuff). Was expecting a JT level of terrible interview and got quite the opposite - insightful, interesting and entertaining. I truly found it fascinating.
I'm not posting the direct link because it is very unfiltered and really rough around the edges. Not appropriate for everyone.
