Tom Wilson Has Arrived At Last

[Bizz]

Padding his stats against third string goalies, sounds about right.

Bouma injures Wilson, Wilson comes back and gets a cheap call against him, but later baits Bouma into a penalty. Crafty.

And Caps stop the bleeding with a goal on the PP.

Wilson has been one of DC's top players this season, just all around.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Now Wilson drew a penalty on Bouma off a face off. Caps scored on the PP.

Wilson has 4 points night so far. (1 point is virtual for the penalty)

You missed a great opportunity to do a banner joke, shame on you.

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

No... but no two handed slashes at the end of a game while getting blown out tho.

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!

How is it fake news? I said Backstrom and Ovechkin is his most common line combination. That's completely true.

I know you are right, but what's the percentage of his TOI spent with Backstrom and Ovechkin out of curiosity, if you still have the page open?

Are you forgetting the part where you referred to the fact that he was getting top 6 time and his most frequent linemates were Backstrom and Ovechkin, inferring that most of his time is spent in the top six? Like I said fake news. Try again!

It's just given as a percentage of total ice time I think. It's the 3rd most common line the Capitals have had this year and the most common line Wilson has been a part of. The websites that had breakdowns of TOI% with certain linemates sadly don't exist anymore.

I don't think you know what the phrase "fake news" means. I said Wilson is getting top-6 minutes with Backstrom and Ovechkin being his most common line combination. That's just a fact. You just crying "fake news!" just makes you look dumb, because I just provided the stats to prove it.

Seriously, responding with "fake news!" to a claim that has evidence to back it up isn't exactly a logical argument to make. But then again, it's not like the people that use "fake news" unironically use logic in the first place.

5 points night by Tom Wilson. (2 are virtual but who cares)

 

[Ducks in a row]

It takes more then having 12 points in his 25th game played of the season before he has arrived. A lot of players have had good streaks or even a good season but then never be so good later. Totally premature to make a thread about him arriving.

Everyone understands what you were getting at with your original message, you moving the goal post after getting called out doesn’t change that fact. The only person looking “dumb” would be youself for resorting to name calling after losing an argument.

Tom Wilson is consistently one of the worst performers in the playoffs as far as possession and shot suppression goes.

Better to the real man Tom Wilson rather than the crying baby.

Ah, it's a shame. If I had to guess, I'd say Wilson probably spent about 25-30% of his TOI with Backstrom and Ovechkin. The rest of the time he's been up and down the lineup and Trotz shuffled the bottom 6 a lot early on.

Real men cry, bro....

nope, only one Pens player well known for whining to refs.

Lets be honest though, only one crying was OV after getting sent home by Sid two years in a row...

 

[Hint1k]

And another point for Wilson.

They should put that on the banner: Tom Wilson the “ Real Man”

I think there is room for another one between one of the Southeast Division Champs and the Winter Classic banners
