Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[SpinningEdge]

Winning presidents trophies and nkt making it past the second round isn't the point I think you want to make

Good for you if you're happy though, some people enjoy mediocrity.

Your team is literally the joke of the nhl the past few seasons. They are awful.
Mediocrity is what you wish your team could achieve right now. Maybe say something about caps franchise when wings aren’t constantly picking top 5.

Someone saying “caps are mediocre” when winning toughest division in nhl most likely when wings haven’t done anything in over a decade now is very cute tho.

 

[Kreider Typical]

Wilson's face says it all. He knows he's done

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Yea, its not a good look on any fan base to defend what is clearly despicable - but its pretty typical of every fan base. Just read how obnoxious Ranger fans have been defending their recent BS "lottery luck."

Wait.

We are equating defending guys trying to actually physically injure (not just play tough) other humans to ping pong balls?

Really? That’s where we are, now? That’s where you want to go with this?

 

[Beukeboom]

And Wilson with the empty-netter. He's the kind of player you want on your team. He does what he has to win.

Did the Rangers do anything to show it's not ok to beat up their star player? No. They let Wilson humiliate them with the empty-netter instead.

 

[Pia8988]

Rangers went full Buffalo after Wilson injures your best player. f***ing cowards.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Punches in the face? When they are down on the ice and prone? That was called a mugging.

Did he get his wallet?

Rangers can't beat a Capitals team playing with 9 forwards. Sad!

 

[Leafsdude7]

something that happened in every scrum in every game up until like 3 years ago.

That makes it okay?

 

[TheNumber4]

Oh okay. LOL!! Sorry I read that wrong.

All good I know your heated about the Wilson shit.

 

[SpinningEdge]

what was their head to head records this season?

Means nothing. Caps are winning the division - while having Covid issues, injury issues, and many other things. Pitt in a 7 game series are the worst of the four playoff teams in that division - for sure

 

[Langway]

Wilson's face says it all. He knows he's done

I thought that was NYR's playoff chances.

 

[mrv52]

I can't comment for sure, but Caps fans defending Wilson at this point is pretty comparable to Penguins fans defending Cooke after his ultra dirty hit in 2011:



I wasn't on this board at the time, so I have no clue if Penguins fans did that, but I can't reasonably see how any Penguins fan could defend him at that point.

Most are from Pittsburgh. Of course they defended him.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

How well do you guys do that in the playoffs? Ill give you a hint: Not well.

Won a cup only 3 year ago...


Dang, really getting me.

 

[MattMartin]

I hope you're joking. His "punch" on Bush is a love tap and something that happened in every scrum in every game up until like 3 years ago.

I hope the Rangers aren't this soft, because if they are, it's probably better for them that they didn't make the playoffs.

Thinking name should be changed from "foggy visor" to "homer goggles".

Classy as always Caps fans

 

[TRASHCAT]

man these threads are my fav on the HF Board

 

[foggyvisor]

That makes it okay?

No, but it doesn't warrant the hysteria and outrage in this thread. Or the existence of a thread at all.

 

[PB37]

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.

He's not comparing and contrasting. He's trying to devalue other opinions based off actions of other players that have nothing to do with the conversation as a means of deflecting the actions of what the conversation is about.

 

[EichHart]

He’s done for rest of the year

 

[foggyvisor]

Thinking name should be changed from "foggy visor" to "homer goggles".

I loathe both teams thx

 

[Lua]

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

he was defending his goalie from a player that is facedown on the ice, keep up man

 

[SpinningEdge]

The Penguins are literally 6-2 against the Capitals this year.

What in the living f*** are you talking about?

Did Tom Wilson cheap shot you today also? You a bit woozy? Concussion symptoms?

Who cares? Caps haven’t played their main roster at all. Ovi has been out. Covid issues. Etc.

playoffs in a 7 game series pens cannot beat caps or any team in the division making playoffs. They’re no longer built for that.

 

[HTFN]

You can think what you'd like but you'd be wrong. Wilson is a distraction too often and is going to continue losing control until he ends a career. He continues trending in the wrong direction, babied at every step by his captain and teammates after each of his incidents.

This would not fit in many team cultures.

That sounds like an exact description of a guy you'll go out of your way to defend, because you bother to see his merits. Cognitive dissonance here is strong, sort of like how Islanders fans hate the guy, constantly praise Barry Trotz, and then there's some sort of magnetic repulsion to Barry Trotz calling Tom Wilson future captain material.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Wow. Yeah I'd give him 20 games for that. Beyond dirty.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

The only people who should be ending his career is the DOPS.

Nothing will happen. Tim Peel gets fired for what we have known forever that aliens exist I mean there are makeup calls when he gets caught on a hot mic admitting it.

Wilson will get...LOL from DOPS.
