Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[4ORRBRUIN]

I’d like to see this in Round 2. Not round 1. Rather have Pens or Isles to start.

You know the Pens would love to see the Bruins and Caps in the first round. Islanders are in trouble

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

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

Only you and a few caps fans are seeing this name plate jab you keep talking about, even from the overhead.

The mind is a crazy thing, making people see things they want to believe

The punch was dumb, but Panarin's the one who decided to continue engaging Tom Wilson after jumping on his back. It's Tom Wilson, did he expect a hug?

Was he just supposed to watch Wilson continually punch him in the back of the head/neck? Maybe the player shouldn’t of thrown those dumb punches in the first place?

 

[Captain Lindy]

Good god, forget about the brainless POS play, this is beyond embarrassing.

After I saw him laughing like that really set me off.

 

[Bonin21]

Lol thread created faster than Wilson got penalty. Haters dont sleep

Cry me a river

Hockey geniuses here

 

[Embryo]

Honestly that amazing Kakko goal from that amazing pass from Laffy made up for any negatives in this game.

 

[EroCaps]

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.

After Panarin jumped on his back like some coked-up muppet.

 

[SpinningEdge]

lol at the caps having injury issues... through may 1st they have one of the fewest games lost to injury and covid in the league... their cap hit of injured players missed time is 12th best in the league

That’s bc caps depth players been healthy. When ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Oshie, and Carlson are the guys getting hurt or being out - yes - it’s a little different than Garnet Hathaway being hurt.

Caps also have a new coach with shortest training camp in past 25 years - and in a whole mew system they’re still learning are still in first place.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

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.

Bill Masterton died from an on ice fall in the NHL after a clean hit. There have been other cases around the world as well.

 

[ZenOil]

Brutal. No disregard for the guys brain. I hate this type of player. A sociopath just like the poster said.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

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

He’s not getting suspended for this. Would any other player even get a fine?

 

[Lua]

Meh, Wilson is a garbage human being who shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the privilege of being a professional athlete

Same goes for every single Caps fan who predictably decided to show up in this thread, to be honest

honestly embarrassed on your behalf

 

[4thTierSport]

I love this self righteous Shayna trash just completely skipping over the Ranger pitch forking and kicking at the goalie.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

truth

My team is in the playoffs and I can assure you that Tom Wilson is indeed a douche and the collective ignorance of the Caps fanbase about it is astounding.

Every fanbase is going to look through the rose colored glasses, but you guys go full on blinders for the guy. I have secondhand embarrassment for the collective ignorance.

Dude is flexing in the box because he was throwing around and cheap shotting skill players. He stands alone on Douche Mountain.

Guy who posts "I can't wait to come back in here and laugh when Wilson isn't suspended" after the Carlo hit is complaining about trying to have a discussion LMAO.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

This guy is nothing but garbage

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

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.

I don’t give a shit if they went 0-100 in their last two playoff series. Only one team wins the Stanley Cup. And last I checked the Capitals didn’t win either.

And let’s keep acting like it’s the exact same team and making more stupid assertions. You truly are on a roll. You should quit your day job and become a hockey analyst.

 

[Leafsdude7]

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

It's neither a good angle nor a bad angle. It's just an angle. And the visual information doesn't lie. Unless you can come up with an explanation for how it does.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Gonna be blunt, anyone defending Wilson here probably needs some help.

Guy is clearly a freaking psycho. This is 100% a guy who will probably spend some time in jail cells after his career is done.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Watch Wilson’s stick he is pulling up on a guys neck as he falls to the ice, leans his weight on him and punches him in the back of the head still with his stick chocking said player. Who looks to go limp for a second. Yeah there’s a decent chance he gets suspended.

He learned that move from Chris Kunitz.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Bill Masterton died from an on ice fall in the NHL. There have been other cases around the world as well.

Curious, Any from an altercation?

 

[Kreider NYR]

He is a million percent getting suspended for this LOL

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Honestly the bodyslam on Panarin looks like the worst part. Slamming a helmetless player to the ice with what looks like might've been a hair pull.

Ah.... We've only got fake angles here and you select few Caps fans have special angles that show totally different situations (but don't show to anyone else). Sure...

Where precisely Wilson makes connection with his punches isn't really the issue here. I hope you understand that.
