Go Blue Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 We need to get the opposite of anger management classes for our big guys like Kreider and Gauthier, problem solved. Feed them gunpowder like they do with fighting dogs Ranger fans for some reason don't want fighters on the team no matter how often our skilled players get abused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Blue Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Looks like the Capitals twitter admin has gone full heel lol. Although this tweet won't age well when his suspension gets announced. https://twitter.com/Capitals/status/1389396106648244226 I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Phil did you see the Brooks tweet showing the Panarin slam in slo-mo. It looks like Wilson grabbed him by the hair and it could of been much worse (head hitting the ice wise). Also showed his left leg /knee twisted awkwardly. I can't post it from my phone for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karan Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yeah we're very fortunate it's just a "lower body injury" for Panarin. With the way Wilson slammed the back of his head down onto the ice, it could've been much much worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The amount of external pressure that will be applied to give Wilson a significant suspension is already astronomical. It will be interesting to see how the NHL and DOPS responds. Everybody is watching them. In my opinion, if this was a first time offender, it's roughly a 6 game suspension in my book. 3 for the punch to Buchnevich and 3 for the hair pull body slam on Panarin. Multiply by X because Wilson is a repeat repeat repeat offender who doesn't seem to understand where the line. He really should be gone for the season + playoffs. That seems like a fair punishment to be quite honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I fully expect the NHL to do nothing. IT's what they have always done. The Rangers should sign and call up every goon they can and basically call out the NHL. Meaningful suspension or we get our retribution the old time way. That slow mo on Brooks twitter is scary shit. Could you imagine what we could have been talking about tonight? I mean with that kind of force Panarin could have legit been killed. I didn't notice the hair pull. The hair pull makes this a conversation for an indefinite suspension with his history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Wilson is about the only real goon left, because he can play. That's a bad situation. Most teams, not just us, don't have a real deterrent. They certainly don't have a deterrent on their power play. I fully expect the NHL to do nothing. Go ahead, let him sucker punch a guy lying face down on the ice.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I’m getting myself worked up just seeing what caps fans on Twitter/redddit keep saying ‘LoLz REnT fRee’ like yeah we just witnessed a violent dirty play from a player who does this all the time go fuck yourselves caps fans.

Phil Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The external pressure for the NHL to levy a significant suspension is incredible right now. I'm not sure they're going to need to call anyone up to handle it themselves. It feels like the league will be forced to do something here.

Sharpshooter Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yeah, the Capitals's Twitter account was basically lauding the whole thing and promoting him. Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Honestly if this doesn't get a suspension then I don't quite know what the point of the player safety committee, or whatever its called, is. Take your pick.. the hair pulling, punching a guy while in a vulnerable position for absolutely no reason, the fact that he injured someone in the scrum and I am probably forgetting something. Thought it was a bit ridiculous that he wasn't tossed for the game too. If the NHL really wants to send a message, seeing as this is his 6th suspension and second this season, ban him for the entirety of the playoffs. With that said I expect that the NHL wont do a thing.

Sharpshooter Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Not only is he a repeat offender, he just came back from serving a suspension not too long ago. If the NHL doesn't have their eyes peeled open whenever he steps on the ice, I don't know what to say. That, and the fact that the Capitals organization is basically lauding the behavior is despicable. Not even the Flyers would do that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I doubt this. DoPS has consistently shown they don’t actually care about player safety. He’ll get a game to basically keep him out of our next game and that’s it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
