Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[CDJ]

No, because he's the most successful agitator in the NHL.


Every single team in the NHL would take Tom Wilson in a heart beat. It's not even debatable. If you hate him it's because you don't have him.

no I really don’t want him, he’s becoming close to a toxic asset at this point and for what he’d cost I don’t think it’s worth it because he’ll eventually be kicked out of the league

great player when his head is on straight, we just know that he can’t control his anger and is a psychopath

 

[danpantz]

The overhead angle is crystal clear. I'll take that one over the angle where Wilson's other arm is blocking the entire view.


Watching the full clip will show you that Buchnevich kicks the goalie. But this place loves reacting to 3 second loop gifs so I guess anything before that tiny snippet doesn't matter.

Remember when Wilson Got suspended for the Carlo hit after you said You couldn't wait to come back into the thread and laugh when he didn't get suspended.

Me thinks you might have a bit of a bias with this particular player.

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah it was, was just last year : )

Nope it was not but nice try.

 

[HTFN]

the person I quoted seemed to be claiming he didn't hit him in the head. The cheek is the head. And it wasn't 90% shoulder.

When you have a dirty player like Tom Wilson, people here are going to react to incidents.

I guess, because doing that together has become a sort of tribal thing that transcends things like memory and sense. This isn't the first or last time that a guy who kicks at a loose puck in the crease gets punched in the face for it.

The fact that it's from the "front" as it were and not straight down into the ice is all you really need to see, having watched hockey a time or three, to tell that Wilson's trying to give him a little payment without sending him down the tunnel. You're "allowed" to do that if you want to as a hockey player without expecting a ton of lasting consequences, and it's absolutely insane to see this many people this upset over... slightly less than clean hockey? A kerfuffle in which nobody ultimately dropped the gloves or did very much of anything, really, just a bunch of justifiable roughing calls and Wilson's deserved misconduct for starting the whole thing.

 

[Dibbs31]

5-3

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Wilson has significant issues that need to be evaluated by the league at this point.

Naturally his teammates will go overboard in defending the intent to injure antics.

 

[Misery74]

It was unnecessary, it was dirty, as a Caps fan, I don’t like it.

I do not believe he will get suspended.

Panarin got hurt in a scrum he initiated. That won’t figure into anything.

 

[Ezekial]

He's a real piece of shit, You can't just assault people whenever you want because you're a hockey player. He's a good hockey player but he's a disgrace to the sport. Tonight was a pathetic display.

 

[Satire]

Wilson really botched the Pedigree there. You gotta hook the arms then go down man.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

And here comes the whataboutism, which is basically waiving the white flag because you know your position in an argument is weak. You lose.

Is it whataboutism though when the conversation is about how apparently Wilson is different from everyone else and yet you conspicuously don't want to talk about the ill doings of your own team? He's not different, he's just wearing a different sweater.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Here's the full video on Sportsnet's Youtube page:



Please, tell me where Buchnevich kicks the goalie. I'll wait.

I’ve been waiting for that as well.

 

[jcs0218]

Tom Wilson acts like a cokehead.

 

[Rask Decisions]

A guy that just beat the shit out of 3 players on your team?

You are a special kind of jackass.

 

[DrewGl]

What about the other time you won one.... Oh wait....

How many years of contenders for one Cup? I guess to some that can be considered "success"...

yeah...winning a cup is not a sign of success. what am i thinking.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The most winning franchise in past decade - so if that’s “losing franchise” you’re clueless.

meanwhile the pens may their fourth straight playoff series loss in round one coming up...

Lmao your loser ass organization has made it out of the 2nd round once in its entire existence. "The most winning franchise in the last decade", absolutely lmao.

"The Penguins may have their fourth straight series loss in round one coming up", says the fan of the team that has lost each of the last 2 years in the 1st round just like the Penguins.

 

[YukonCornelius]

Definitely understand the righteous indignation of a Bruins fan when it comes protecting guys from falling to the ice in a defenseless manner where they could hurt their head...

Cool deflection.

Moronic hot take to file under your other ones in the Carlo thread.

 

[SergeiSamsonovFan]

Caps fans continued defense of Wilson is.....bizarre.


I’m a Bruins fan and can admit Marchand can be a dirty rat. Why can’t you do the same?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Panarin and Buch must’ve said something really offensive to Wilson. They must’ve deserved it

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Marchand attempted a dirty hit there. He's just as dirty as Wilson. The only difference between them is that Marchand is more calculating like a psychopath whereas Wilson is more impulsive and wreckless like a sociopath.

Wilson is intent to maim - headshot after headshot. Marchand generally took the agitation too far aside from the two headshot suspensions.

The Penguins also have 3 cups under Sid and Malkin. Not sure how they or the Blackhawks wouldn't be considered the most successful franchises in recent history.

 

[Lukin1978]

Suspend that pos

 

[TheNumber4]

Punches to the face aren’t penalties you idiots. I saw Giordano rock Puljujaarvi in the face with a punch right in front of the game managers on Saturday. No penalty. Therefore, no penalty on this Wilson play of course. Rules are consistent in this league right?

 

[unicornpig]

capitol fans defending this guy LOL.

 

[madinsomniac]

The NHL should fire Parros into the sun and hire Steve Moore as the director of player safety....
