Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[UnSandvich]

Reading this thread has made it very clear to me that Capitals fans would defend Dale Hunter if the Turgeon incident happened again tomorrow.

Looking forward to Panarin being suspended for jumping on Tom Wilson's back and then punching him in the head from behind while Wilson was restrained.

Get help.

 

[Foppberg]

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.

Because he thinks he's a victim and can't believe the league is out to get him again!

It's pathetic.

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.

"Stop paying so much attention"
- Guy talking on a message board

 

[AvroArrow]

This POS really doesn't belong in the league. I don't know why the league thinks its ok keep guys like this around. Department of we don't give a shit.

 

[danpantz]

Flexing in the penalty box after pulling another mans hair sure is something

 

[DrewGl]

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

very similar incidents.

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

Well it’s a good thing he is playing a contact sport that literally allows fighting then

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The fact that there were assholes similar to Wilson in the past doesn’t make what he does ok. You realize this right?

When did Marchand retire?

 

[g00n]

Get help.

Watch the video.

 

[RedHawkDown]

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.

I’m sure you’d have the same energy if a Pens player two handed Ovechkin in the face and broke his jaw. That stuff happens in UFC, so after all it is entertaining, no?

 

[Lua]

Solid hockey play

 

[Devils090]

Maybe I am biased because I like see rags fans cry and Panarin getting rag dolled but that’s hardly anything worth more than a game or two(maybe he gets more given his history) but anyone crying for him to be kicked out of the league needs to watch a different sport.

 

[HanSolo]

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.

Tweet's unavailable but saw it still embedded here. Unreal lack of tact or class. I've clowned on the Kings twitter as they were the first team to really get the ball rolling on edgy comedy tweeting and occasionally crossed a toe over the line but I've never seen them tweet something that shitty.

 

[Algernop Kreider]

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

What was the deleted tweet?

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

very similar incidents.

They really aren't and Sid is hardly relevant here. It's blatant whataboutism

 

[34]

That was harsh! He is an animal! Looks like he could not control himself.

 

[Leafsdude7]

Imagine it will be deleted within the hour.

Should have said "5 minutes" and then called myself a prophet afterwards.

I mean it wouldn’t be that bad today with the way sticks break and everything. Come on.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

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

Deleted

What did it say?

 

[space321]

Please kick him out of the league before he kills someone. He's already ruined multiple careers/lives, just ban him already.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Tom Wilson enjoyed torturing and killing small animals as a kid, but does he still?

 

[danpantz]

Reading this thread has made it very clear to me that Capitals fans would defend Dale Hunter if the Turgeon incident happened again tomorrow.

Hunter couldn't hear the whistle over the crowd. It's Turgeons fault for putting himself in a vulnerable position.

 

[Svechhammer]

Silly Caps twitter, thinking that deleting a comment will make people forget

 

[The Expert]

Crazy how the Caps were shorthanded during all of that too, didn't look like it.
