Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers

[NoName]

He does seem intent on challenging Brad Marchand's title as the reigning dirtiest rat in the NHL...

Wait... people think this is suspension worthy?


Is this what you guys look like watching any hockey highlights from like pre-2005?

I'm not typically one of those "you're ruining the game" guys, but like, fellas, this is just hockey and post scrum curriculars that were deserving of penalties.


God help you all if we ever see a line brawl again....

 

[CasusBelli]

And thats the problem. The league won't do anything until he permanently injures someone.

Need to focus on the act instead of the result. Why wait until someone gets concussed or worse?

 

[Sevendust]

Watch the part where Buch is kicking the goalie first. Don't miss that one.

So because of that its free season for Wilson?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Have to think with his previous discipline that he get suspended here.

Pretty reckless and dirtbag play.

 

[SI90]

Wow he's tough. Buch, Panarin, AND Strome..while they're laying on the ice.

Man, what a tough guy. So impressive.

Hey at least the poster @BigWilly43 is going to come out of posting retirement again in a totally and completely non-suspicious way

He avoids Ross Johnston like the Black Plague. Would never act that way towards Ryan Reeves.

 

[mad4comp]

Cool so kicking the goalie is equal to trying to crush a guys windpipe. Seems legit.

Crushing a windpipe? wut...

 

[Vikke]

Bet you weren't singing that tune when Kadri was a leaf.

Imagine comparing those two players.

I suspect the people saying "no big deal" are going to be in for a surprise in the next few days. The NHL isn't going to stand for a wrestling takedown that could have cracked open a superstar's head on the ice, followed by Wilson trying to do it again. To paraphrase Clemenza, "Tommy? Won't see him no more....". Or at least not for a long time.

 

[mad4comp]

So because of that its free season for Wilson?

On the contrary... do nothing?

 

[Quinning]

He does seem intent on challenging Brad Marchand's title as the reigning dirtiest rat in the NHL...

Marchand is far less ratty than he used to be. He was a f***ing IDIOT when he was younger.

Don't get me wrong, I shed no tears when he gets hit hard.

 

[LeafGrief]

The punch to the back of Buchnevich's head is a total asshole move, but ragdolling Panarin who doesn't have his helmet on is just unbelievably reckless. If Panarin's head hits the ice there he could suffer a traumatic injury. And then he did it a second time.

It's a matter of time until he's suspended permanently. The sooner the better, because otherwise he'll be taking someone with him into retirement.

 

[supermann_98]

He's got his stick under Buch's neck and then punches his head down on it after the play is over.

Like.. f***ing why?

To maybe see if that neck-break scene in Million Dollar Baby was realistic?

This guy is gonna end someone's ability to live a normal life, if not end their career

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I think every fan base hates him except Caps.

Weird... almost like he has agitated everyone... if only that was a role that existed in hockey.

 

[snipes]

Panarin jumped on his back and he rag dolled him? Maybe shouldn’t have roughed up Buchnevich but not nearly as egregious as the OP states. Certainly not worthy of a ban from the show.

This is a mans league.

 

[Sheppy]

Let’s see if the Rangers respond.

 

[failure]

I think the saddest part is, he is a great hockey player. He doesn't need to cross the line this badly. He is ruining himself because of his lack of self control.

 

[MattMartin]

Tom Wilson could powerbomb an old lady through a table and caps fans would defend it

"He's just bigger and stronger than that old lady"

 

[Jozay]

Honestly, expected worse when I saw him trending on twitter.

 

[Del Preston]

The goalie was getting kicked. I'd say the punch was warranted. You can see the caps goalie get mad as shit right after the kick in the extended video.

What a crock this post is lol.

I just watched it again. Buchnevich's foot hit the goalie's pad because he was being taken down to the ice by Dowd and Wilson. Vanecek doesn't even react to the "kick."

 

[Pi]

Rangers are allowing this. f***ing soft, man. Go defend your players.

I don't know. You shouldn't have to defend against this kind of play. This play shouldn't be in the NHL and the players who play like this either need that drilled into their heads with HEFTY suspensions or bans.

Wouldn't call the Rangers soft for that.

 

[Panteras]

Bet he’d never try this against Vegas lol

 

[mad4comp]

Imagine comparing those two players.

Yea you're right... hitting a guy in the head thats down and pinned against the boards is monumentally worse. Thanks for reminding me.

 

[overlords]

Closest I've seen to the Pedigree being used in the NHL. It's time to play the gameeeee!!!

completely agree- he’s everything you would want in a PF


Except for the part where he’s bound to get kicked out of the league eventually
