Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[Sheppy]

Hahahaha, what a trash f***ing franchise.

 

[Leafsdude7]

Touche. This makes it look even worse.

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

Not really relevant. Caps fans are wayyyy off base here. Most fans in here don’t care about your team. This is just a horrible look for the league. He drove a guys face into the ice, punched the back off his head as he was motionless. Then he ends up body slamming a superstar without a helmet that is half his size that was no threat to him. That could’ve ended horribly had Panarin’s shoulder not absorbed most of the impact.

Wilson is a repeat offender to the highest degree. He is not in control of himself out there and is a danger to others. He should be gone for the rest of the year and the league should begin talks of a permanent ban at this point. He’s not getting it.

 

[Rangers79]

I’m just seeing this and I absolutely do not like the rangers but this is f***ed up!!

There's a difference between not liking teams and recognizing gross stuff like this. It's just a game, these are just people. Seeing anyone trying to injure other players is not welcome.

 

[BruinsFan37]

He made a mistake doing that to Panarin. He won't get a Raffi Torres length suspension, but he'll get something -- the league does not appreciate/want conduct like that against their star players.

The only thing I'm certain of, is that almost everyone here will be unhappy with the result (some will think it's too much, others not enough).

 

[FabulousLysell]

Can’t believe there’s actually people defending this sorry excuse of a hockey player.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Save it. Presume for one second your team was FACING Wilson. Would you be saying that then? My guess: HELL NO.

I remember it very well when we had to play against Ulf or Kasparitis or Clarke or Downie or Cooke, and the list goes on. Yeah it sucks. But the hyperbole about Wilson is just silly.

 

[TheFinalWord]

I think the worst part is what would have happened if Panarin's head had hit the ice when he was thrown down. One day, one of these is going to turn out badly.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I think it's about time someone throws Racki on the ice

 

[Davegarri]

f*** this guy, so tired of him

 

[Emperoreddy]

Scumbag player and Caps social media team being classless.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Caps fans are wild, how do you defend this guy lmao

He could straight up pull a Todd Bertuzzi and some posters would still defend his ass. Clowns.

Wilson could literally almost kill a guy and people like Eroscaps or whatever would call us all p***yes cause he didn't actually kill anyone, and then say no other player would even get a penalty for it.

 

[bl02]

People complaining about almost ending Panarin's career or wrapping his stick around a player's neck who's face first on the ice while punching him in the back of the head.
Maybe a national audience will get to see it in the playoffs when he does it to someone like Crosby, Barzal or Marchand

 

[Ray Mercer]

That's really not a vicious punch and shouldn't even be mentioned. The slam is where he went overboard.

 

[bardown23]

Wilson is a shit stain on the caps franchise

 

[Ol' Jase]

f*** the capitals social media team too. Holy shit this is f***ing disgusting. I hope someone loses their jobs.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic and beyond cringe worthy, the Wilson flex or this.

Lol, what the hell are these guys thinking? This is so incredibly lame.

 

[shtorm2005]

Touche. This makes it look even worse.

I agree. Shoulder is weaker than the head.

 

[HTFN]

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?

I get that it's HFBoards but I wouldn't put it that way if I hadn't. I've hit friends harder than that. That's, like, not even as hard as the "open fist" punching we'd do as knuckleheads in high school to beat each other up without breaking any ribs. In fact, since I'm mentioning it, I'd be pretty surprised if he hit him with a closed fist too, not that it matters much with hockey gloves on.

 

[Leafsdude7]

Thats really not a vicious punch and shouldn't even be mentioned. The slam is where he went overboard.

I vehemently disagree with you.

 

[Langway]

Clutch those pearls! Clutch!

 

[mad4comp]

Wilson is a shit stain on the caps franchise

Well if anyone knows about shit stains.. it'd be a bruins fan.

 

[shtorm2005]

Wilson is a shit stain on the caps franchise

Said the guy with "yellow" uniform

 

[Machinehead]

The team should be docked points for that tweet becoming public.

 

[Leafsdude7]

I agree. Shoulder is weaker than the head.

Eh?

 

[CycloneSweep]

That's really not a vicious punch and shouldn't even be mentioned. The slam is where he went overboard.

A guy who is pinned to the ice, head on the ice, and gets punched in the back of the head is f***ing gross, vicious punch or not. Shits f***ing dangerous and has no place in the game. Two guys throwing fists sure? Guy down defenseless on the ice getting punched in the back of the head? Don't care who is doing it to who, thats f***ed.
