Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[EroCaps]

LOL.

 

[Leafsdude7]

This league is soft

Wilson should be allowed to punch players who are face down on the ice, every game

Sad thing is, I think you're being sarcastic. But I'm not sure.

 

[DWGie26]

Known sociopath intentionally injures two players. Yes, you moron.

Love and kisses to you sir.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Pens fan here completely agreeing with you.

I’d take Wilson in a second so he’d quit f***ing our players up

Same thing happened here with Kasparaitis. We hated him as an Islander when he destroyed us but loved him when he played for us.

I mean, I feel like I really began to appreciate the game more when I realized that most of the players I hated I would've killed to have had on my team. Even like plugs that are good at agitating are well... good at their job. I used to loathe Steve Downie... and then I realized I wish we had Steve Downie.

 

[The S5]

The guy runs around like a jerk off. He goes after non fighters because he doesn't have to answer the bell. Since he likes to play old school style, maybe some one should give him a two hander across the teeth.

Tom Wilson is a human incarnation of a pit bull. A pit bull that can also perform backhand passes and ice skate.

 

[CanadienShark]

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?

Dude just give it up. It's you against the world. No one (outside a few Caps fans) sees what you're seeing. You don't get to set the rules for punching or being punched. Have you received or given one?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I guess the next guy might check for 43 before kicking our goalie….

Our?

 

[madinsomniac]

Most are from Pittsburgh. Of course they defended him.

The pens employed dirty guys until the league started calling penalties on anything they did... then they quit getting those guys... downie taught them the final lesson

 

[Kreider NYR]

I guess the next guy might check for 43 before kicking our goalie….

Without being a little twerp how often do scrums happen without it being taken to the extreme that Wilson did. That is the difference and you know you see it its okay....

 

[DrewGl]

Oh burrrrrnnn

truth

 

[Ol' Jase]

He was aiming for the face? The face?

Hysterical take.

Buchnevich literally kicks the goalie. So, uh... yeah. A punch to the back I am okay with.

You don’t have a shred of credibility here.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

At this rate the enforcer role will be brought back.

 

[Leafsdude7]

It's a bad angle replay. He actually has an axe in other hand.

Of course. It makes Wilson look bad, so it's gotta just be a bad angle, right?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I guess nobody on here was a fan of those Avalanche Red Wings playoff series.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Wilson could blow a guy away with a cannon he wheeled onto the ice and Caps fans would say it’s just part of his old fashioned, hard hitting style of game.

 

[Swervin81]

Buchnevich will get a fine for complaining
Tom Wilson will be promoted to head of player safety when he retires

You forgot Kadri getting an additional 3 games and Mizzou with another bowl ban.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Let’s make a complete idiotic statement and then back track to years past where the Penguins don’t have the same players coaches or management and draw conclusions of what will happen this year from it.

Hey, the Capitals went 8-65-5 in their inaugural season in the 70’s. They are definitely getting swept this year.

Umm. Last two years pens are 1-7 in playoffs including losing to habs - a 12 seed - which is worst loss to any team in a nhl playoffs in history. They literally lost to a bottom 8 team in the playoffs.

pens have won 1 of their last 10 playoff games. Malkin and Crosby 4 total points each of them last two playoffs in 8 games.

they had a great run.... but that team is done. They’re not a playoff threat at this point.

 

[Carlzner]

Dude just give it up. It's you against the world. No one (outside a few Caps fans) sees what you're seeing.

That's because no one is seeing a real angle.

It's pointless trying to discuss this when there is one horrible angle in the OP. The overhead angle clearly shows Wilson punching Buchnevich's name plate. Yawn

 

[nbwingsfan]

Sad thing is, I think you're being sarcastic. But I'm not sure.

Caps fans really are living in a different world this year, apparently

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I mean, I feel like I really began to appreciate the game more when I realized that most of the players I hated I would've killed to have had on my team. Even like plugs that are good at agitating are well... good at their job. I used to loathe Steve Downie... and then I realized I wish we had Steve Downie.

Completely agree. Hated Scott Stevens but wished he was on my team. Same with rat face Marchand. There is a reason for this. They are effective and good at what they do.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

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

What does his gloves staying on have anything to do with it? He punches a guy in the head while he’s on his stomach and then rips a player down to the ice by his hair that isn’t wearing a helmet. But good thing his gloves were still on I guess?

 

[Future]

NHL needs to take player safety seriously. He just about severely injured one of the games superstars (Panarin) by body slamming him to the ice without a helmet.

At this point, he’s a danger to others and needs to go.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

I'm sure the POS will learn his lesson from whatever bajillion game suspension he gets this time.....

Couple of Cap fans defending Wilson.

Looks more like the Ranger players hiding after Wilson shows up.
