Sold me at handsome.

 

[roflstomper]

Does he finally have more goals than suspensions this year?

 

[KPower]

Toronto kid... He will sign back home right after Tavares and Doughty.

 

[K Fleur]

Yup this one period of hockey really sold me over the previous 378 games of mostly trash performance.

When you make a difference absolutely destroying the opponents and creating space I wouldn’t call that trash,probably even effective if anything

Matthews + 1st pick is enough for Tom?

I don't think it's fair to call his performance trash. He was never very good at scoring goals but he does a ton of things outside of that. He's excellent defensively and he's extremely physical.

I’ll be impressed when he gets 3 points against a team that isn’t the Chicago Blackhawks.

It's more impressive to get 3 points against the Chicago Blackhawks than against the New Jersey Devils

I guess you missed where this is his second three point game in his career and both have come against the Blackhawks, but it’s ok. How would you know that?

What's your point?

You know it was really just a joke but if you want to take this route, this is a pointless thread. He hasn’t arrived. He had a good game. Whoopty doo.

I was joking too. The thread is premature, I agree.

Hm. I retract my snippiness

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.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Wilson was mad because Bouma knocked him out the game for a while so Wilson came back and boarded someone right away

Sign the Clarkson hometown special

Because the Chicago player turned his back to Wilson and put himself in a bad position. Even the announcers thought it was a bad call and NBC is never kind to the Caps.

 

[Bizz]

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

Yeah he’s gotta be more careful on those hits bc of his playing style and size. I’m not saying it’s fair or right

Fake news. He’s played a majority of the season on the third line, add up the two percentages with the third line teammates its greater than with Backstrom-Ovechkin. Good try though!

Basically zero PP time though.

It's either a penalty or it isn't. His size should not be a disadvantage.

Ideally.

The refs are just some dudes with cognitive biases though.

Wilson did take a nice run at Bouma without taking a penalty. I’ll like him forever after fighting Joe last night. That was dope.
