You know, I used to like Tom Wilson's hard-nosed play, but that changed when I saw him line up dirty hit after dirty hit.

I guess you love him if he's on your team, but there's a big difference between trying to blindside guys and take cheap shots as a prick than a guy like Fast who has a strong work ethic and digs and fights without hurting someone.

He's not tolerating Lemieux's bullshit.

Fast playing playoff hockey right now pounding some players into the boards
 
Why do hockey players almost always go for the face/head during scrums? What's wrong with a push in the chest? All these years of brain injury research and the default mode still seems to be "go high".
Do they really just not care about each others safety?

Not for nothing but Wilson is very good for what he does.

Nah, he took a stupid penalty then got blown up by little old Jesper Fast.

Now that AV isn’t isn’t our coach wilson isn’t the boogeyman anymore because we’re allowed to retaliate

Gloves smell really bad.
 
He's been better all around somewhat recently but I odn't think there's a dman in the league that gets by just on skating alone more than Skjei.

He is good but he isnt Brian Leetch, people need to relax with him, he hasnt even been able to keep a roster spot all year on one of the worst defenses in the east. He has put a nice little run since he got back in the lineup but he was bad before that and that's why he was taken out. Enjoy his play now, and hope it continues but seriously the overblown hype is nauseating. Hopefully he can be a really good dman for us.

I think you’re wrong. He was in and out of the lineup because of maturity issues. He had a stretch of 5-7 or so bad games, but for most of the season, he’s been our best defenseman. No doubt about it. His possession stats are great, he’s putting up points, the eye test checks out, and even his plus-minus is very good for a team like this. No one is saying he’s Brian Leetch. Is he overhyped? Maybe. But I’ve been following him since his days in Arizona, and he’s my favorite player in the NHL. So I’m going to hype him up more than others. I’ve also constantly defended the guy, whether it was the Stepan trade, the few bad games, the scratches, etc. But I understand where you’re coming from.
