When the Rangers and the Capitals played on Wednesday night, Pavel Addison Reed Jersey Buchnevich was once again the center of attention for the Rangers. However, the reason he was in the spotlight were far different than they were on Monday.In the Monday game, Buchnevich was punched in the head by Capitals forward Tom Wilson while he was laying down on the ice after a play. That led to a scrum where Wilson slammed Rangers star Artemi Panarin to the ice and injured him. Panarin is out for the rest of the season, but the punishment for Wilson amounted only to a ,000 fine. He wasn't suspended.As a result of NHL's Department of Player Safety head George Parros' decision, the Rangers Brian Dozier Jersey decided to take matters into their own hands on Wednesday.

It culminated when Buchnevich cro s-checked Mantha in the face, drawing a major penalty and game misconduct for his actions.MORE: Now, Buchnevich has heard from the Harmon Killebrew Jersey Department of Player Safety and it turns out that he .Make no mistake:Buchnevich deserved to be suspended. His hit on Mantha was certainly dirty.But the irony of thisis that if Parros had just been willing to suspend Wilson, as his actions warranted, Fernando Rodney Jersey this whole situation probably could've been avoided. All Parros had to do was suspend Wilson one game and the Rangers probably wouldn't have gone into Wednesday's game seeking revenge.
