They believe that Washington Capital's Tom Wilson should have been punished more severely for his tackles in the last game against the New York Rangers.

A statement from Twitter said: "The New York Rangers are extremely disappointed that Washington Capital's forward Tom Wilson was not suspended for his violent actions," the statement said.

It is also believed that Tom Wilson has a long history of similar incidents and that not enough has been done to protect the players.

"Wilson has a long history of such acts and we are shocked that the NHL and their department of player safety have not taken sufficient action."

Requires George Parro's resignation

In the match against Rangers, Wilson got into a fight with both Artemi Panarin and Pavel Buchnevich.

There he pulled Panarin in the hair and threw him on the ice with his head in front.

"Wilson's dangerous actions injured Artemi Panarin so severely that he will not play again this season."

Tom Wilson was fined $ 5,000, which Rangers think is far too little.

The statement called for the resignation of the head of the league's disciplinary committee, George Parros.

"We see it as George Parros neglecting his duty and can no longer continue in his current role," the statement concluded.

The NHL has not yet commented on the New York Rangers' move.
