Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[berlin]

Dirtbag.

 

[Gutchecktime]

This is just disgusting behaviour which he clearly delights in. Throw the book at him.

 

[Korpse]

I was shocked to see this thread already reach 800 posts then I watched the videos... Any suspension less than 10 games will be a disappointment. Should be closer to 20 games though.

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

Are you suggesting the "cause" justifies the "effect"?

 

[CycloneSweep]

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.

Lol "get strong". Enjoying it for what it is for one thing, being embarassing and defending it and calling people p***yes is just straight up embarasing. Grow up.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Yeah, because it doesn’t show the pitch forking or kicking the Ranger did.

He could have pretty easily hit his jaw with that punch. This whole “he clearly hit his nameplate” is such bullshit.

Enough with the apologist horseshit.

 

[Carlzner]

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.

Wow

One of the most incredible posts I have ever read on this website

Be entertained and go f*** your mom.

Stop projecting.

 

[HTFN]

Have you hit them in the face while they were facing the ground. Because if you are doing that please stop you can seriously hurt them. If not it is completely different. And if he hit a player standing up no one would be complaining. Doing anyone on the ground is unacceptable.

...I did say some variation of "f***ing around in high school", didn't I?

That's the neat thing about it, it didn't really matter if you were on the ground or not because when you short your jabs, nobody's head is bouncing off of anything. It's more like the worst flicking you've ever had than a real punch to the face, and it's not going to drive your head or neck anywhere of note.

I agree, punching a guy on the ground isn't my favorite look. You can also still do that and still be a shithead without intent to injure. Not hurt, but injure, as in significant lasting damage. I don't see anything from that punch or its follow through to indicate that Wilson was even putting half his effort into it, and if you're going to deliberately try to injure someone wouldn't you, like... try?

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

Edited the thread. Best to avoid outlandish titles.

There was nothing wrong with the title. He’s a sociopath that doesn’t belong in the league.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Yeah, theres been this narrative from Caps apologists for years that it's simply "Big guys hitting little guys" . That isn't the case. Wilson is the dirtiest player in the game and has been for years now.

Why does he just laugh it off? George Parros is going to call him tomorrow and ask for his autograph.

Pathetic.

 

[Rangers79]

Are you suggesting the "cause" justifies the "effect"?

Guy probably thinks people should die for looking at him the wrong way. He seems like he has genuine issues

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

But I was told that Tom Wilson was an innocent little angel when discussing his dirty hit on Visnovsky a few years back.

Shocking to hear that he'd do something like this.

 

[danpantz]

Looks like the Capitals deleted that tweet already

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Crosby/Subban head smashing video already deleted by the mods. This board sucks.

If you're argument to defend Wilson, is to bring up Sidney Crosby. Then you've already lost

 

[mrv52]

I didn't see the purse, but in the video it looks like he might've pulled Panarin's hair as he slammed him to the ice.

Panarin needs to cut his hair then

 

[Rec T]

(snort) I saw the thread when it was about 4 pages, thought it was an older one bumped up for some reason, went & made dinner, came back & it's now at 33 pages... oh ... wonder what the dumbass did 'this' time... JFC, suspend him for the rest of the season & the playoffs. Not only does the cretin not learn, but he brags about it in the penalty box.

Ask the NHL how they felt about having their history of promoting head injuries brought up in court.

 

[bl02]

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

haha you're kidding right? You call that kicking the goalie? What happens almost every game when there are people fighting for the puck in the crease. and yet deserves someone being choked on the ice face down and punched in back of the head.

 

[Herregud]

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.

Hahahahaha. I'm not even defending Wilson's punch, even though it most certainly was not to the back of the head, but the hyperbole in this thread is insane.

My stance, to clarify.

Punch bad.
Slam bad.
Monkey dance dumb.
Twitter mocking cringe worthy.

I still think Panarin needs to gtfo after getting Wilson to disengage, though. Especially given what he means to his team. Good on him for showing heart, I guess?

 

[BretterThanYou]

Oh, look. Tom Wilson being absolute scum. Shocking.

 

[4thTierSport]

He could have pretty easily hit his jaw with that punch. This whole “he clearly hit his nameplate” is such bullshit.

Enough with the apologist horseshit.

Uh, guess again...?

I watch like 10 games a year because I don’t dwell on the every breath of professional athletes. Mainly because I am living a grown up life. Maybe you should stop paying so much attention. It clearly gets you emotionally wound up. Probably not good for the loved ones around you.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Should never be allowed in the NHL again. That simple.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Tweet got deleted. Caps social media team definitely got a phone call from someone.
