UPDATE: George McPhee has released a statement:
“We agree with the league’s position that it was a clean hit. There should not have been a penalty on the play. It was a punishing hit, not predatory or otherwise illegal. Under our current rules, punishing but clean hits are permitted. We are happy that Tom Wilson was vindicated and Brayden Schenn is not injured.”
Look For The Caps Tom Wilson To Get A Lengthy Suspension For His Vicious Hit On The Flyers Brayden Schenn.

The Bad News for him is that Shanahan has him on Photo Radar.

i dont think it will be length. 5 games at the most. Schenn wasnt seriously injured

Tom Wilson was not suspended. It was a clean hit, now can they take that 5 minute PP away and let the caps replay that game?

kudos to Adam Oates for his unwaivering support of Wilson and correctly stating Schenn was at fault

He was rightfully given a major for charging.

while Shanahan doesnt criticize his refs, he goes into visual detail about how it wasnt charging noting Wilson didnt ddecide to make the hit

I agree it's a judgement call, but by definition, Charging "as a result of distance traveled, violently check an opponent in any manner".

But Shanahan shows that the distance traveled wasn't significant and the violence from the hit was Schenn's fault.

I thought that was the reasoning it wasn't suspicion worthy, not that it wasn't charging.

he's not gonna publicly say his refs were wrong. GMGM is taking the stance the NHL is saying it was a clean hit
