Tom Wilson Has Arrived At Last

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

He is quite good, seems like getting Ovie and Backstrom back together has really helped the Caps. It's the classic goal scorer play maker power forward line that every team should have.

Tom Wilson hate is great. He defends his teammates. He is a dominant hitter. He is as fast as any big man in the league skating. He is a top quality penalty killer. His defense is so good he plays the last shift with a one goal lead. He plays RW on an elite top line. Yea, my kind of scrub. {the order of the list is the order that he added those skills to his game}

Wow, he has 12 points in 25 games while getting top-6 minutes with Backstrom and Ovechkin as his most common line combination. Truly amazing.

Looking at this list reminds me of someone, remember when DSP got 13 points in 18 games with New Jersey at the end of the 2016 season while playing top-6 minutes? Just made me chuckle a little bit.

You can look up his most common line combination but fail to realize that combination has been in a small fraction of those 25 games. I could also point out the bottom 6 was a jumble of all kinds of lines prior to Wilson moving up, but why let facts ruin a good narrative?

Has he jumped anyone after delivering a perfectly legal hipcheck yet?

Well that is just a intellectually dishonest use of "jumped". Also, hip checking someone that has never controlled the puck is not legal.
 
Tom Wilson played his junior hockey here in Plymouth. We watched him develop from an awkward teenager into a first round draft pick. Even his first year here, Wilson would always give 100% on every shift. You could tell he worked his butt off during the summer to improve, as each autumn he improved a great deal as a skater and puck handler from the previous spring. In his final season, he and Bo Horvat were the best players on the ice during the Whalers conference finals matchup versus the London Knights.

After watching all the above, I will always be a Tom Wilson fan.

The perfect modern tough player. I'd love to have a few Wilsons in every team instead of a bunch of Johan Larsson's and what not in the lower lines. Someone that actually adds some intensity and entertainment value.
 
Pens brought in Ryan Reaves to pound the visor wearing cowardly Tom Wilson's face to mush but alas the Washington coaching staff felt it wise to protect him from the beating he so richly deserves.:naughty:

This is what I've seen since he's been with the Caps. He's a hard worker who has improved every year. I still think he can be a 35-45 point guy who is great defensively and punishes opponents. I have never had a problem with spending the 1st on him.

that's highly unlikely. his teammate Lars Eller, has one 30 point season in his career and he's a much better offensive player than willy.

i kept dreaming he could be a 50+ point player too but the book is out he can't score in this league.

Yeah, because unlike Reaves, Wilson has earned more than 6 minutes of ice time per game.
