flyercanuck Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) It's time for the NHL to give this head hunter a long sit down. Take a look at this brutal headshot against the Bruins Brandon Carlo. He was taken to the hospital. Wilson didn't even get a penalty. Nice of Vrana to crosscheck him... twice, as he's going down.

nossagog Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The NHL has proved time and again that they don't really care too much about what he does. He put down Mark Jankowski of the Pens with a late center ice hit last week, at least he got a two minute penalty for that. Jankowski got four games off with the dreaded "Upper Body Injury".

The worst part if what I read was right is it they didn't even call a penalty on this. What a travesty this has become. But they didn't call a late hit on the Pens and Phil Myers might even play today. How does the NHL let certain teams and players get away with this ****?

Excellent question...I have no answer. Sometimes it's because the guy is a star player (we saw Malkin get away with plenty before they finally did something). Wilsons a good player when he's not being a jerk, but he's no superstar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Remember this guy? Cost him 21 games. And then this... And this cost him 41 games. It is time for Wilson to sit awhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 He should be suspended for a bunch of games (5 or 6) after that. For as talented a player as he can be, Wilson has no discipline. I think that, if he weren't a 20 goal scorer, he would be given 10 games. That (whether he is a scorer) shouldn't be the standard, but it is, and I think that is why he might be getting away with it in terms of not getting as many games. Knowing what we do about concussions and headshots like that, in science and society today, he needs to be fined heavily, too. I've seen worse, but that was no doubt a dirty hit by Wilson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Washington’s Tom Wilson has been offered an in-person hearing via Zoom for Boarding Boston’s Brandon Carlo. Date and time TBD.

Math Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yeah, he's certainly terrified by the zoom meeting to come. For what? 2 games, maybe 3... It's in his DNA. No matter if it's a 1-game, 20-game, 500000000-game suspension, he'll do that again. Is it possible to fire a player? If you can fire a coach, I bet it's possible to terminate a player's contract. Time for the Caps to take their responsibilities, now it's on them to send a clear signal by sending him in a radioactive dump as deep as they can, and then cover it by millions of tons of salt, just to be sure. Of course they won't do it, and if they do, another team will jump like damned vultures to get his se(r)vices. I'd exhumate and clone Probert 10 times, just to give him his own medicine. At this point I don't see another solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a dozen tough guys in NHL history who I would love to see pound Wilson to the ice ...... Tie Domi Georges Laraque Dave 'Tiger' Williams Joe Kocur Stu Grimson Marty McSorley Donald Brashear Gino Odjick Basil McRae Rob Ray Tony Twist Dave Brown Most on this list span the 80's and 90's.... The NHL needs to remove the Instigator Rule and the players policy themselves again. I understand the NHL does not want donnybrooks of yesteryear but this crap like Wilson pulls needs to stop ..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 @pilldoc "GRIMSON SUUUUUUUUUCKS !!!" thanks for the memories I'll add Churla and the Boogeyman Boogaard to that list. And probably give a shot with Derian Hatcher: he was not a true fighter but could be a real b*tch back at the time. And I'm obliged to go with the great Enrico Ciccone, who's now a deputy in the Quebec government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJack Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Bottom Line for the Caps if Wilson gets a long suspension (?) ...he’s a mere +1 this season. (How critical can he be?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) SEVEN GAMES?!?! Ooooooh, that'll teach him. Farabee got 3 for a first offence on a hit not as bad. Wilson has done this, what....20 times? 30? Should have got 27, not 7. Edited March 7, 2021 by flyercanuck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 "Mr. Wilson, that was your fifth sanction since 2017, having successively received 2, 4, 3 and 14 (originally 20)-game suspensions. What are your thoughts on that ?" I really wish one journalist comes to this question the next Wilson pre-game or post-game presser. I still think he can be useful. For science I mean. Being a study subject on both psychology and medicine fields. Just to try to understand what's going on in his brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
