Thank you. Schedule says 3PM ET, but I trust you.

 

[Calicaps]

Thank you. Schedule says 3PM ET, but I trust you.

Don’t trust. Trash is in Colorado. Game’s at 3ET per NHL.

Sorry @TRASHCAT but I edited your thread title.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Whoops forgot espn autocorrected for timezones. 3 pm is a weird start time in my defense. Your fault for trusting me and my lies

 

[Portable Mink]

Wilson! Wilson! Wilson!

 

[ovikovy817]

Keep the goal streak alive for Ovi and Wilson

You're too nice! Let him know the truth, the effort was there but the execution was poor and he'll be a healthy scratch for the next GDT.

Hoping Wilson hits someone and they fall over so the main boards can get a 250 page thread going.

What's the latest word on Oshie. Is he skating yet?

Don't think so.

 

[BallardEra]

Don't think so.

Unreal how no suspension was handed out after that Oshie slam.

 

[Midnight Judges]

It was intentional and dangerous IMO. Should have been a suspension.

Most people are far more likely to believe players when they say incidents like this are accidents. I just don't buy it. I think a lot of players (Tom Wilson included) are playing this game where they pretend to not be trying to do precisely the things that they are trying to do. I have an extraordinarily low tolerance for disingenuousness.

 

[BallardEra]

Just took a look at the standings and can't believe how bad the Pacific division is this season.

The only real .500 team in that division is the Flames.

I agree. These guys know exactly what they’re doing, and know how to do something that can look very much like an accident, when it’s entirely deliberate. Some are better than others at it. Just like a pitcher in BB, they can put the ball anywhere they want to but every so often a pitch “gets away” from them.

It’s the opposite of the guys who know how to dive without looking like they’re diving.

Thread title need more STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS in it

Stop trolling Tom Wilson here.

 

[tycoonheart]

One thing is certain tho, the league has pretty much told the refs to call anything and everything on Tom Wilson. That game plenty was ludicrous. The goalie interference after scoring, his first game back I believe, was ludicrous. Expect this to happen all season.

That's a great comparison. Notice a guy like Pedro Martinez - who had control that was so amazing he could still strike guys out after his velocity was gone - was leading MLB in hit batters some years. Now that's he's retired, he admits it - which is more honest than most guys are.

 

[GoCaps2004]

I remember how oshie looked for a while after his last concussion, and it was not good. This is pretty scary

 

[twabby]

Really glad it’s an afternoon game because today’s slate of NFL games is garbage.

Pitchers stand on the mound and plot their next move. They fuss. They fidget. They wind up. Baseball is ssssssllllloooowwww. Hockey is fast. I’m not saying guys don’t or can’t do things deliberately in hockey, but it’s much easier to believe that things happen unintentionally given the speed of the game. The most recent Wilson play shows exactly this. And the league, which is predisposed to agree with your view of Wilson, recognized that this was a nothing play.

 

[Lindemann]

I want a Wilson hatty just to make everyone on the main board have an aneurysm

 

[txpd]

3 game road trip coming. They have to lose a game sometime. Probably not today. I expect we wont see Oshie for a while
