Rangers statement on Wilson non-suspension

[Machinehead]

It’s not even just Caps fans anymore that think nothing was done wrong. Steve Kouleas, an NHL guy on SiriusXM is ridiculing the Rangers on Twitter for their statement. Look it up, that Crosby and Konecny incident got a reply from him basically implying the Rangers organization is crying. Hopefully his tweet will get all the negative attention it deserves.

There's a lot anti-Rangers sentiment in general because they're a New York team. That shitbag isn't even worth paying attention to.

Real hockey fans can see right from wrong here.

Brendan Smith is gonna throw some haymakers tomorrow night. Tomorrow he gets his new nick name. Big Smitty. A select few will name him Brendan the instigator.

There will be blood.

No one in the league is afraid of Brendan Smith. You're kidding yourself.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yes.

It is, after all, the NHL.

George Parros in charge of player safety. What did we expect?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Another thing to consider. Joe Micheletti came out heaping praise on Ton Wilson during the game. I can appreciate not being total homers but this was uncalled for given what had just happened. It's time for him to go, give the job to Valliquette.

In general, I think that Sam and Joe fall all over themselves to praise the other team in a way that I don't see from other announce teams.

 

[RangerRebirth]

Surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Take a guy who made millions in the NHL, who would be answering phones for a living if cheapshots didn't exist, and put him in charge of getting rid of cheapshots.

What could possibly go wrong?

Guarantee you Wilson either sits or doesn't play much tomorrow. The league has likely already called both teams and made it clear that anything happens will be dealt with severely.

You mean a $10,000 fine?

TomWilson and Parros both trending on Twitter great job NHL

I'm not saying it should be this way, but until a NYR kicks his butt nothing will change.

It's a NY thing, because alot of the announcers are national guys. (Breen, Darling, Marv, Kenny, Sam for the NFL, etc).

They have to or are trained to call it down the middle.

One day contract incoming?

I hate agreeing with him, but he's right in the sense most teams do not have a player to handle tom wilson, he is a beast. If you want him handled his teammates need to do that and you get them to do that by making their life suck.

I'm not saying don't do it just for the hell of it, but it wouldn't change even after that.

We're not dealing with a normal person here. His tiny macaque brain has no concept of negative reinforcement.

this has to be the correct take. I'm sure Artemi would be happy to chip in a few thousand to cover Kevin Rooney's peanuts forfeited salary from running their goalie. He's signed to a contract next year too so if the boys decide on something like this, the team and coach will also have their back and do right by whoever bites the bullet.

This is one of those situations where it sucks we're in NYC and the NYC media doesn't care about hockey boomer. This is getting nonstop coverage on TSN but barely a peep in NYC or NYC sports radio. I turned on both WFAN and ESPN radio today for a bit to see if they were talking about it but they were just talking for hours about the Mets firing their hitting coach.

There's going to be a single, answer the bell fight. That's it... Nothing more and nothing less.

 

[Legion34]

Crosby better be suspended for his horrifying act of violence

 

[bleedblue94]

I'm proud of my organization taking a stand and saying enough BS from the league.

The amount of support they are getting should be an eye opener to the league...

Brendan Smith shouldn’t have to get the shit kicked out of him by Wilson because the NHL can’t do its job.

 

[BeaverTail]

Did the rangers call up an enforcer for the next game?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I'm not saying it should be this way, but until a NYR kicks his butt nothing will change.

I assume you mean Wilson. It won't change even if he gets his butt kicked. When has that ever changed what Wilson did???? Hes an animal unfit to play in the league

 

[Gardner McKay]

Did the rangers call up an enforcer for the next game?

No, their statement accomplished what it is supposed to. Wilson can't control himself. They will bait him next game and when he goes overboard the league will be forced to either drop the hammer on Wilson or admit they are full of shit.
