Sharks Joe Thornton hit on Capitals TJ Oshie

[Alexander the Gr8]

I don't think I'm the one that needs to 'get over it' haha

You're right, DeBoer needs to get over it.

Joe shouldn't have to fight guys like Wilson. He's pissed because one of his best forwards was basically forced into fighting a plug and was taken off the ice for 7 minutes when the game was still in the balance.

I respect Joe for fighting Wilson, he took a risk there, but he accepted the challenge. He could've turned Wilson down and he wouldn't have been taken off the ice for 7 minutes. Bottom line is that DeBoer has no room to complain. He should've sent someone else like Goodrow to answer the bell.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Wilson was following him up the ice well before the fight with no intent of playing hockey. It should have been an instigator.

That's not what instigator is in the rulebook.

 

[HTFN]

Yeah, I'm sure Dillon had that slash in mind for 18 minutes before he did it... I think Deboer's pissed because there was no Instigator on Wilson.

You want an instigator in a fight where both men squared up and took their helmets off (which I assume was the extra 2 each?)

"Have to"? He didn't get mugged, he made a decision of his own free will, to answer for another (****tier) decision he made earlier.

If DeBoer doesn't want his team making that trade he should just tell Thornton to weasel out of it next time.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Most sneaky, underrated cheap player in the league for many years.

He should start accidentally taking out knees.

 

[MardyBum]

He knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[MattMartin]

Was Thorton last suspended in 2010? That correct? If so he should get the "Wilson" treatment.

No, I think you need to get over it, man haha

thats following him up the ice?

Nah he has head shots down pretty good, can't teach an old dog new tricks.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Zero games, but let Dillon sit for a few.

When he's being followed up the ice and being grabbed onto but the refs don't have the balls to make a call, a guy like Jumbo is going to eventually fight. He's not bitchmade like most of the league is now.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Well I have a reason to be upset, getting 2 players injured in 25 minutes and the other coach complaining about a little fight is kinda frustrating. DeBoer comes off as a sore loser here.

I mean, at least we won the game.

wait ten secs or so for the side angle

Thank you. Not sure what other people are seeing but i think from that video there has to be a suspension. Oshie is forecheck and hits the defender who plays the puck out. Then Thornton comes in. Am i missing something? Way i see it is Thornton hitting Oshie is interference then he hits him in the head while having time to react

Grabbed on to?

Now, when Wilson was "grabbing on to him", was he grabbing him with the hand holding his stick, or the hand up at his chinstrap?

It started well before this video did.

Haha, I've actually been so caught up in whether Thornton did it intentionally or not that I never even realized Oshie isn't legal to be checked like that anyway.

 

[MattMartin]

Odd Wilson wouldn't answer the bell VS Boulton.

KO Wilson

even if it did. thornton had more then enough time to skate away but he didnt

Wilson was following Thornton before he agreed to go.

in a preseason game?

 

[Kale Hulls]

Wilson the spot picker?

 

[snipes]

WilsonDestroyedJumbo

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

KO Wilson

Not even close. Sharks angle showed Thornton slip, unless a punch to the shoulder is a KO.
