hf101 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 His latest victim... Blues Oskar Sundqvist. Here's another look. Wilson had 3 suspensions last year. Twice against the Blues in the preseason - a 2 game suspension for a late hit on Robert Thomas and 4 games for boarding Sammy Bais and his most recent was against the Penguins in the playoffs where he broke Zach Anton-Resse's jaw receiving 3 games. It's time the league throws the book at him -- 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 yeah he is not getting the message. Getting docked a lot of that new paycheque should smarten him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I don't know, it looked totally clean to me. And that has nothing to do with him being on my fantasy team. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 @hf101 I think my comment lost a bit in translation, it was meant as sarcasm. The kid has talent, lots of it, capable of being a disruptive force while at the same time putting the puck in the net and while I still like the rough stuff in the game stupid head shots like this are uncalled for. He deserves a long sit down for this one. He seems to be turning into the next Raffi Torres. This is two years in a row that within days of me trading for him he has done this crap. I am getting fired of his schtick. Probably releasing him today in Nahana depending upon the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Back in Wilson's draft year, he was high on my wish list for both the bruins and flames....very high, and i was irked when neither team drafted him. Now i am kinda/sorta glad they passed on him, he's just a cement head with a limited skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyMan Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Wilson dropped his shoulder and targeted the head. 15-20 games, if the league is serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPuk Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I would classify that as a dirty hit. No purpose other than to injure that I could see. Once again I will say that his punishment if found guilty, should be to be suspended until Sunqvist is cleared to return to his team. If that is 40 games, then so be it.

flyerrod Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I would seriously give him 20 games for that. That was an absolutely predatory intent to injure hit. He launched himself into his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I know that I'm not supposed to have an opinion on this since the Pens have employed Matt Cooke, Darius Kaspiritus and so forth blah blah blah, but for the safety of the rest of the league, this guy needs to go for a log time. He's just not getting it. He was suspended like three time just last year. I mentioned Matt Cooke, this is the same type of hit that helped Dennis Savard along to his retirement. Its the pick to the head that the league DEFINITELY wants out of the game. If the league is serious, he needs to start the season with a 15 or more game suspension, because he's not getting it. This sets the standard for him, next one goes further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Good. He just started a new contract for big money so he loses near 25% of his pay for the year. On a 5.16 Million dollar a year contract, that's like 1.3 million dollars down the drain. If losing 1.3 million dollars (Which is two thirds of what he made a year for the past 2 years) does not wake him up and teach him to start throwing hipchecks instead of dirty headshots, then nothing will. Wait, oh wow. He got a signing bonus of 5 million up front so his salary for the year is only 1.1 million dollars. His remaining paycheck will be garnished for the rest of the year AND he has to pay out of the bulk lump sum he already got. lol. I hope he bought an expensive house with a full down payment and is stuck to bread and rice until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised, 20 games. As much as we make fun of the DOPeS, they finally put the hammer down on Wilson. https://www.nhl.com/video/wilson-suspended-20-games/t-277440360/c-61556003 Hopefully he finally gets it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 What sucks is the idiot can play a bit, either wing on any of the four lines in pretty much every role, he is not a star and never will be but he is very serviceable and his game is good enough to keep him in the league for a long time without this nonsense. I like hitting as much as the next guy and more than most but this stuff has no place in the game. Like I posted somewhere he is the new Raffi Torres, a guy who can play but has a brain the size of a pea apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
