Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[Jules Winnfield]

Tom Wilson is wild. What the f*** is he doing tonight lol

Dunno but I imagine him doing a few lines and wooing like Ric Flair...

 

[Sempiternal]

He’s awesome.

 

[mrv52]

The most coveted player in the league.

 

[MattMartin]

I forgot the correct answer to any idiot saying "you wish Wilson was on your team". Nah, I wish I had McDavid, Point, Bergeron, McKinnon, Panarin, etc and about 95 other players than Wilson. So get that fake news out of here.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

You realize Chris Simon was a Cap?

I love the reaction of non-Cap fans here: "Wilson goes psycho on a Rangers player so we need players from other teams to go psycho on him."

What does him being a Cap have to do with anything?

 

[HTFN]

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



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

Left leg into the pad and then consistent effort to keep jamming during the cover? It's enough to get punched in the mouth.

Caps fans be like "He only hit him in the cheek and shoulder"

WHY IS HE EVEN HITTING A PLAYER WHOS CHEST DOWN ON THE ICE, WHATS THE INTENT

and that's the intent. To punch a guy in the mouth a little, same way they'd be doing if they were vertical and face to face. Not to end his career or break his neck, just punch him in the mouth a little for taking a liberty with the goaltender. You don't get to go there and hack away all day in hockey without paying that price.

Buchnevich's left leg comes in fast and he kicks Vanecek's glove hand. Feel free to slow the video down to help yourself out

You’re delusional. That’s not a kick. Buch isn’t even that kind of player. He’s clearly battling for position.

 

[SpinningEdge]

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.

Actually Penguins didn’t even make it to round 1 last year, they got bounced in play in round before that round.

... and tonight caps will be back in first place with a game in hand - and Vegas has caps as one of top teams in nhl.

sorry pens are irrelevant now. when they were good amd could compete it was great for nhl. Those days are over.

It’ll be okay when Malkin leaves tho after another playoff let down and fans don’t care and team may need to move again bc that is what basically happened before they got Crosby.

Yeah that doesn't happen.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

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...

Weird chirp to end it at 4 years..

I wonder why you did that and didn’t add on the two years previous to those 4?

Your team has one Stanley Cup and made it past the 2nd round one time in their measly existence.

Sit down and shutup.

 

[Negan4Coach]

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

The weak argument is actually the Orwellian re-branding of what used to be called “compare and contrast” as “whataboutism”. It is what human beings do- view a current situation through the lens of similar circumstances in order to reach a logical conclusion.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

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?

It's not bizarre at all. Every fan base defends even the shittiest actions of their own players. Check Hawks fans screaming how that son of a bitchin cab driver got what he deserved.

 

[MattMartin]

Nope it was not but nice try.

You're right, was like 9 months ago. Cheers.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

First it was "He only hit him in the cheek and shoulder!"

Now it's "Did you see Buch kick vancek? Thats why wilson hit him!"

So that means Wilson punched Buch in the cheek to what, tickle him? Whats the intent?

 

[PB37]

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.

The conversation is Wilson slamming someone's head into the ice and punching him in the head. You're deflecting and using whataboutism when trying to flip the script by showcasing bad deeds from other players that have nothing to do with the conversation because you can't admit he is doing anything wrong. It's blatently obvious and makes you look weak.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Caps fans now defending Wilson with the “oh yeah what about Marchand”


This shit is so predictable, run a new play one time for me guys

When Marchand super-man elbowed and concussed Johansson a few years ago, Bruins fans theorized that maybe he skate got caught in a rut.

Stones and glass houses, my friend.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

so Bread is hurt now?

 

[Carlzner]

Hot take alert folks

 

[Canadian Game]

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?

Spend more time watching the video and less time name calling. The punches were to the back of the head.

The overhead at 2:04 shows no such thing. There's two moments where Buchnevich appears to "kick", and they're both as he's falling down. And beyond that, there's the fact that there's no way Wilson sees it. So I'm not sure the point.

I remember my first beer.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

If you're not going to call game misconducts now, that's fine. Cross it out of the rule book for next year. Rules change and it's no big deal.

There's nothing you can do to get thrown from a game now, the guys will adjust.

Stones and glass houses, my friend.

It’s not as good of a defense for Wilson as you all seem to think it is, my friend. Especially when most bruins fans admit marchand has been a rat


As a matter of fact that deflection to a player on a team completely unrelated from all of this is kind of pathetic

Yes, the Capitals did so much better with their....checks notes.....losing in 5 games to the Islanders. Man, if only the Penguins could be as good as the Caps!

And lol at the "Malkin leaves" comment. You are aware Ovechkin isn't under contract for next year, right? And unlike Ovi, Malkin actually has a winner's legacy because he wasn't drafted by a loser organization who was incapable of building around him.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

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 interest in Wilson.

You can truly see his brain malfunction these days. His hit on Carlo was because of two collisions with Frederic moments prior.

Wilson simply has a problem and needs help at this point.
