All that being as it may (i love miller), is it too much to ask for a crosscheck, a push, nudge anything? As an isolated instance this may seem trivial but it just so happens to be a microcosm of our battle level as a whole. Hockey is a game of confrontations, and this is what happens when an aggressive team decides to impose its will on a wine & cheese outfit.

It looked like a routine check where the guy tried to jump to avoid a hit and he just fell down

Tony D is a shrimp. I just don't understand how people in here actually think he would get anything other than a giant ass-beating from Wilson.
You all are talking about the wrong thing you don't take on Wilson you take a run at Backstrom and really stick it to them for the playoffs. Go after their softer players like Wilson did with us. Eye for an eye

Sure it does? The team clearly doesn’t have enough guys willing to push back. Is that because of the coach, or the players themselves or the players don’t feel like they have someone with them who can support them in that push?
I’ll say this, I’ll remember forever the game before Orr was called up where the Flyers were running Jagr incessantly. It was clear as day. Orr came up and started taking runs at Flyers and then KO’d Fedoruk. It was violent, yes. But the Rangers didn’t get pushed around anymore and we saw guys like Prucha and others start to feel the confidence to push back when pushed.
I’ll just say that I’m disappointed the organization hasn’t been able to find a couple of guys who can support their teammates and play the game. Maybe they won’t be Reaves but there are other guys out there.

Dude it's always the same. We hate other teams rats, but wouldn't mind them on our team. Except rat boy maybe and Cooke certainly.

I was impressed honestly they showed up the best they could, although scared as f for all of them.

Fighting does nothing to deter anything. Even if the guy can’t fight, you can turtle instantly and the refs will jump in to save you. The league needs to really crack down on repeat offenders like this. It’s a fast game and things happen. Some guys even skirt the line as their role and it goes wrong. That’s fine ino, you hope nobody gets hurt but I get that. Wilson is pretty far past that at this point though. He has to start getting long, long suspensions or he’ll never stop

i don’t know why people act like Wilson doesn’t do this to everyone. Not to mention we were on a powerplay. Would we have a goon on the ice there? No. Wilson is a psycho path the league needs to deal with. It’s not on the Rangers he’s a menace to the whole league.
