Mollie Walker

The "fight" between Washington Capitals' Tom Wilson and New York Rangers' Artemi Panarin has set the hockey world on fire. As a fan of the Rangers I am obviously furious that Panarin is done for the year after what is clearly a cheap shot from Wilson. I'm also a fan of physical play and have zero issues with open ice fights in the NHL. So I wanted to make sure I wasn't being a total homer when I was outrage by Wilson's actions and the lack of action from the NHL. So we called Mollie Walker of the New York Post and the way she explains the incident clears any doubt from me.

The New York Rangers are about to faceoff with the cross town rival Islanders in the first of three match ups spread out across the Blue Shirts final 11 games of the season. The Rangers post season hopes are somewhere between Slim and None, slim hasn't left town yet but it's close. Mollie Walker of the New York Post cover both the Rangers and Islanders. So she's the perfect one to preview the importance of the NHL's version of the battle for New York
