Let me get you a box of tissues and some pen and paper so you can write down your list of excuses.

Dear lord. My team is injured. COVID!! Someone took my ball.

The Caps are 2-6 against the Penguins. That’s all that matters. So your assertion that they are “heads and shoulders” better than the Penguins is not only ridiculously stupid, it makes you look like the biggest dumbass on the boards.
Ummm... doesn’t really matter at all. What matters are the next 4 7-game series’

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.

The islanders and bruins would be the two teams that be confident going into the playoffs bc of playoff experience with goalie. I really have no clue if washington goalies will lay eggs, or pittsburgh will too. Need a goalie to be able to win.
 
You're whining about Caps fans defending Wilson. That little story pretty definitively says that it's hardly confined to them.

It's a stupid line of attack you're pursuing when your own fans have defended dirty plays with pretty ridiculous excuses themselves.

First off Idgaf what other people write, come at me for what I say. I have for sure seen bruins fans more willing to condemn Marchand than caps fans willing to condemn a much worse player/dirt ball of late. I’ve seen zero caps fans in here condemn his play. And again this is all an incredibly stupid deflection, but if this is the battle you want to “win” while a psychopath is going around trying to end careers then by all means. Yeah Marchand did a dirty thing in 2013! Wow! That changes what Wilson and the pathetic response from caps fans how exactly?

As someone else said, the Wings have more success in a 5 year period (a few of them actually) than your team has had in its nearly 50 year existence :laugh:

If we're gifted the best player in the NHL like the Caps were with Ovi (by being awful) and only make it past the second round ONCE in his entire career then I would be incredibly embarrassed.
Suddenly Ovechkin's back to being the best player in the league over his entire career when it comes down to shit talking Caps fans? Curiouser and curiouser.
 
Can people really sit here and say hockey is getting soft and that happens in every scrum as a way to try and justify this? Regardless if you don't think hes getting suspended you aren't paying attention.
Doesn’t happen in every scrum, Wilson crossed the line and got penalized, if he gets a suspension idk but he didn’t “attack” a guy. He ragdolled the hell out of him though.

suspension? Maybe but this wasn’t some vicious attack, he had his gloves on the whole time

Anybody who can call this "intent to injure" with a straight face has... I don't know, either never thrown a punch or never been hit, maybe both.

You'd have to be intensely f***ing stupid to want to hurt a guy and then not even follow through on your own punch. I know you'll all double down on the stupid part but if there's one thing I've been assure of it's that Wilson knows what he's doing and lives for this... so why not actually do it?

Says the guy with the Wilson avatar.

Unsurprisingly, you’re not a reliable narrator, here.
 
He deserves a suspension, given his history. Thinking 2-3 games.

We all dislike Wilson, but some of the posts itt are utterly hyperbolic. Calm down.

If you want to see a Cap being a legit thug, search for Hunter-Turgeon.
 
4 of the wins in 3v3 or SO. They don’t have that in the playoffs.

Holy shit! Guess what?! They do have that in the regular season. You know where they play head to head and figure out which team wins each game?

If the Caps wanted to be better than the Penguins in the regular season, may be they should suck at OT since it is a part of the regular season game.

Don’t make horrific claims about being head and shoulders above another team if you can only beat the 2 out of 8 f***ing tries.

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.
Here's the thing... been reading this take for 8 years and yet all that seems to happen is his PPG goes up every year.

You are lying to yourself if you actually believe your team, and 30 other teams would not take him.

Legitimately what are the knocks against not taking him?

He's too physical? Okay, that's not unique

He makes poor choices that result in penalties? Also not all that unique


When people come into these threads and they're like "Why can't Caps fans have a reasonable discussion" but in that same breath they're like "My team would never take that scumbag" it reeks of such a disconnect from the game.


I will say it one more time, and it's objectively true. 31 other clubs would take Tom Wilson in a heartbeat and it's not even debatable. If you disagree you're either clouded with bias or don't understand hockey. You can hate everything about his game and think he has no place in the league, it does not change that your team would trip over themselves to get him.

How can you possibly defend that?
 
There's no defending that, he'll end up killing someone.
Oh man I love the hyperbole. I do not believe in the 100+ year history of hockey anyone has been killed on the ice. I could be wrong. But of all the insane shit that happened back in the day nobody was killed. But of course big bad Tom Wilson is the most dangerous player in NHL history.
