Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[Surrounded By Ahos]

CRINGE ALERT

This tweet supplied by the same twitter account that brought us "sTaY ClAssY CaRoLiNa"

What a f***ing embarrassment.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Watching caps fans here being so defensive, excusing gross behavior and trying to turn it into "well your team sucks" is the ultimate 'look at how tough I am sitting at mom's house pretending to be a tough guy who thinks the measure of a person is solely decided by the amount of woman that have the displeasure of sleeping with me and how many concussion I have recieved'.

Get. Help.

 

[Carlzner]

I’m still embarrassed for the Rangers, honestly.

Guy dummies your best player to the ice dangerously.

Flexes on your team from the penalty box.

Rangers do nothing, lose 6-3 and are like “whatever”

I dunno I'm pretty amused by it!

Three Rangers attacked him immediately after the incident.

There are 30 other teams in the league and nobody has done anything.

 

[BHD]

Edited the thread. Best to avoid outlandish titles.

Wilson would be in prison if he were in another line of work

 

[Bizzare]

Caps have beaten bruins like 20 of last 25 games.

Losing to bruins in first rd again? Last time they played in first rd caps won. Figures you don’t know that or facts tho. Typical pens fan just assuming things when Crosby/Malkin are 1-7 last 8 playoff games and they have 4 points each in last 8 playoff games. Yikes.

Ovechkin's 5 points in his last 8 playoff games is much better.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Someone on the Rangers has to protect Panarin there. That looked like something the Kings do when they get pushed around. Still a gutless move on a guy half your size.

 

[rh71]

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.

Getting punched where? Stop repeating something that's been shown over and over to not have actually happened. The stuff after that was worse.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Hope Tom Wilson and every fan who defend this man to get their life together. Yall little internet warriors would go insane if someone did this to your team.
I guess this is what 16 years of ovi with 1 sorry ass cup does to a fanbase.

 

[Peasy]

He's clearly out there trying to injure players on purpose. Unacceptable.

 

[4thTierSport]

Looks horrible but at least one could say hey it was a face to face fight.
What he did to Buchnevich is a coward's work! f***ing disgusting and akin to sucker punching someone on the side of the head

Well stop pitch forking and trying to kick the goalie. It’s pretty simple.

 

[CupofOil]

What he did to Buchnevich was assault, that goes beyond hockey. If the NHL had any balls, they'd suspend him for the rest of the season and playoffs at minimum.

I'm all for heavy, hard hitting hockey but that's garbage.

 

[tarheelhockey]

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

Yeah that one’s worthy of a sit-down with the league office. Lighthearted trolling is one thing, celebrating a head-slam on an opposing superstar is something different. This goes beyond just being embarrassing and gets into “stuff that your lawyers wish you wouldn’t have done” territory.

 

[Leafsdude7]

This angle shows it's a punch to the shoulder, you said it's even worse.

It's a punch to the jaw/cheek, as Tacitus points out. I don't know how you can see that as anything other than that.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

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 did how exactly?

First, it was 2018.

Second, it's not a deflection, you literally opened the door to this line of discussion. I think there's a lot of room for you to get on your soapbox with your own fans/board before you start blanket whining about another.

Third, the discussion around Wilson here is at such a fever pitch that it's not even centered in reality anymore. People are comparing this to Bertuzzi for Christ's sake. I don't understand your indignation talking about Marchand, when it seems like you're super concerned about players' careers and well-being. Concussions end careers, shouldn't you be campaigning closer to home?

 

[RaginRonic]

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

I don't think Boston should have an NHL team anymore....I don't want them in the league and want to burn all of the merch that's ever been made of that team so their visual history can be completely destroyed. =P

 

[pdavemoney]

Why do people keep saying he has mental issues?

What if he's just a terrible human being and a bully, playing a sport that enables him to behave that way.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Wilson is just a POS that thinks he's a lot tougher than he really is. I love hard nosed hockey, but this dude is a clown. The stuff in the penalty box after solidifies it.

 

[4thTierSport]

Even if true (it's not), that's relevant...how?

Not wasting time on someone that doesn’t understand basic cause and effects.

 

[danpantz]

Hair pulling is just tough old time hockey right?

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah, last Wilson thread was overdramatic and unnecessary...this one?

I mean, dude looks like a deranged maniac here. Suspension or no, this is much better evidence of the kind of player Wilson is. Or at the very least the lunatic he can't stop himself from being at times.

Cry me a river

Give me things @Peeri would absolutely not be posting if, say, Crosby did the same thing to Ovechkin for 500.

Get. Help.

Get strong. These are people who care nothing for you or your family. It is entertainment. I was entertained. That’s all I watch this league for.

 

[shtorm2005]

Quoted for relevance. He tagged Buch in the cheek/jaw pretty good. His head wouldn't move like that from being hit in the nameplate

Buch has Wilson stick under him. Wilson lifts his stick with other hand while punching with other.

 

[Emperoreddy]

League put pressure on the Caps to put an apology statement out for that tweet or fine the team.

Wilson should be missing a round of the playoffs at minimum.

Imagine it will be deleted within the hour.
