James Neal has 6 pts in 24 games.

JVR 4 pts in 9 games

WOOOOOF.

Jesper Bratt has 9 pts in 12 games

So Bratt >>>>> JVR & James Neal :DD




Have to link it for anyone who missed it, but Reaves' response when asked what happened... "He (Wilson) just ran into a lion in the jungle out there".
Ryan Reaves on his hit on Tom Wilson: ‘He was just looking at his pass and ran into a lion in the jungle’



Doubt he gets suspended though.

It was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit from what I see.



Sucks being Tom Wilson. I'd really like to see Reaves steamroll Marchand next.

Make him swallow his tongue.....LITERALLY. :D

Looks like he won't be suspended.

The NHL probably suspends anyone else if they do that to someone that isn't Wilson.

I think even they've had enough of him. Especially when their arbitrator decides to take 6 games off his 20 game suspension, which 20 games for him was more than fair, but the arbitrator decided it wasn't.

this better not be true……what the ****?!


The jersey the little girl is wearing looks better than the current jerseys we wear (minus that white stripe around the shoulders :laugh:).

Take the receiving player and his reputation out of the equation, I would argue that hit wasn't worth the game let alone a suspension (as the league rightfully didn't move forward on). A penalty I can see, but anything further?

That jersey looks almost exactly like the jersey I created for my Seattle franchise in NHL 18. Although I doubt they're going to go with Spartans like I did. Or the Sasquatch, which would be all kinds of stupid fun marketing wise.

It was interference that caused an injury - by rule, I'm pretty sure this is 5 and a game.

Yes my mistake on that, I believe you are correct

56.4Major Penalty - The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence, to a player or goalkeeper guilty of interfering with an opponent (see 56.5).
56.5Game Misconduct Penalty - When a major penalty is imposed under this rule for a foul resulting in an injury of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.

Lol, the Reaves hit on Wilson wasn't nearly as bad as the one Wilson layed on Seney. Not even close

Caps fans are saying the difference is that the hit of Seney was "part of game play," whatever that means. And that Reaves is a big fat meanie for "intentionally targeting" Wilson.

If you play the way Wilson does, you're going to be targeted.

Of all the potential Seattle names, Seattle Kraken & Seattle Sockeyes are my favorites.

I'd go with Sockeyes, as it fits locally, plus you could design a really awesome logo given it's already an angry, mean-looking fish to beginwith.

I dig it but I can already see the millions and millions of headlines reading "Seattle plays a rock 'em sock 'em brand of hockey"

If I can't have Sasquatch, I'll settle for Kraken. We need some kind of mascot that can handle meth head Gritty.

That's pretty twisted, Reaves must be a major ahole.

i actually think it’s pretty awesome. wilson has certainly profited from his careless/criminal activities, so i’m good with it. i hope reaves sends wilson a free one to look at while he’s sitting in his neurologist’s waiting room
