Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[Doctyl]

Indeed.

could you imagine how much of a massive piece of dog excrement you would have to be to not only create that Wilson tweet but then make it an avatar. Disgusting human scum

 

[BurntToast]

That first video looks hella dangerous. His suspension should be indefinite. Do we need another Steven Moore situation?! WTF is the league doing right now?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Get a load of this tough guy

Not tough, just a typical male born before 1990.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

That’s some quality content. This is more entertaining than watching the Islanders play that’s for sure.

Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't fun for you seeing the Caps eliminated by the Isles in last year's playoffs.

No worries, I understand.

I was born in 1976. I didn’t start fights but, for the most part, I ended those I was involved in. And if some hair got pulled so be it. Fight to win.

Imagine posting this and being serious lmfao

I mean yeah when looking at the video that is slowed down to 1/10 of a second it clearly looks like that. When you watch it in real time, Wilson slams him down (still not good) and his helmet falls off all in one motion. Again, not defending what he did to Buchnevich, but the extremely slowed down version of the Panarin incident is pretty convenient for the “I hate Tom Wilson”
crowd.

I don’t get what you’re saying here.

The replay shows Wilson pulled Panarin’s hair. Why is this “convenient” for people who don’t like Tom Wilson? It’s literally just showing what happened and what you couldn’t see in real time. Like...should it not count as a bitch play because it took a replay to show what he actually did?

This is Bat Dad from South Park.

I wish.

The only good news is that, in a week, Wilson is going to cry like a big baby and beg for forgiveness to avoid a massive suspension and we'll get to use it as meme material for his supporters.

 

[caps4cup]

Yeah I think I disagree with that take. If you're in a scrum and a smaller skilled player grabs ahold of you just to tie you up and settle things down there is no need to grab his head from behind and try to drive it into the ice. You really can kill someone easily like that. Wilson has 40 lbs on him, knows he's not fighter and Panarin was not throwing punches. It's one thing if Panarin starts throwing punches and trying to nail him but he was just tying him up. I don't have any real issue with the little shot he gave Buchnevich.

I mean I don’t disagree that should probably be the case, but there are a handful of guys (Wilson being one of them) where it doesn’t matter who comes at them, they’re gonna give it right back. IMO, the Buchnevich thing was worse and the Panarin thing looked worse because the size difference, but obviously neither was good.

Incredibly vicious, violent, uncalled for, dangerous attacks. This is about as bad as it gets. These are not fights, this is Wilson assaulting skilled players and driving their heads extremely violently into the ice, this is the sort of stuff than can leave guys permanently brain damaged or even dead.

His longest suspension to date is 20 games, this was WAY worse IMO. I’d give him at least 40 games, personally.

Did Wilson grab Panarin and throw him on to his own shoulders? He didn't go hunting for it, he dealt with the guy directly on top of him.

edit: to clarify, I agree with the above. Once they get out of the pile and Wilson knows who he has, he doesn't need to slam him. I'm vocally against the slam in this thread already, but you make it sound like he went looking for Panarin on purpose.

 

[Shesty31]

I want to be just like you when I'm 45.

I wonder if he flexed after all his fights just like Tom Wilson did.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Then dont. I know folks of your generation are offended by words on a computer screen. The ignore function works wonders.

I’m older than you, Mr. McGregor.

I just know incredibly embarrassing behaviour when I see it.

 

[Zirakzigil]

He’s a dirty player. Everyone knows that. But the NHL doesn’t have any balls unless they are backed into a corner. It won’t be until he severely injures someone that he gets the suspension he deserves.

Don't forget to use your nails, too.

Par for the course. Organization sets the pathetic tone and the lap dogs slurp it right up

Crazy right. Now imagine being horrified by a hockey player losing his shit. Oh the humanity.

Some people get to 15 years old and cease mental maturation entirely.

its documented in this thread. bad parenting. dont blame the victim, its not his fault.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Funny how fans of 30 teams see it one way, and the fans of one single team see it another way

It really makes you think

Rashomon effect

 

[RedHawkDown]

Imagine your age being such a central part of your identity

I wonder what kind of 80 year old you’ll be

 

[nowhereman]

I don't want to wish ill on a person but I wouldn't shed a single tear if Tom Wilson suffered a career-ending injury tomorrow. He can act like a tough guy, in a sport where guys don't know how to fight worth a shit, but, one day, he's going to get his. And it will be glorious.

Rashomon effect

Easy with those obscure film references there, Harry Lime.

 

[Tripod]

The simple question is, would Caps fans be ok if someone like Gudas did that to Backstrom?

I would think the easy answer is no.

 

[TheShape]

Guy needs a serious psychological assessment. At this point the league has to see Wilson as a liability.

He should be suspended season + playoffs and tack on another 20 to start next season. NHL can't seem to get it right though.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Don't forget to use your nails, too.

If you say so.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Crazy right. Now imagine being horrified by a hockey player losing his shit. Oh the humanity.

Seriously though, that post is embarrassing
