Between Sauer and Wilson, I think the league should consider doing something about helmet straps.

They're grandfathered in visors, they're penalizing tilting the visor up. Some regulation regarding helmet security might be useful.

 

[NYRKING30]

You just knew the moment Sauer was going down with his head exposed to the edge of the board on the back of his head that it was never going to end well.

I'm sorry to say but Wilson was long overdue to have something happen to him. Now if that goon had his helmet on properly. this wouldn't be an issue. Late hit? sure. Dirty hit? not at all.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Late hit? sure. Dirty hit? not at all.

Agree to disagree. One in the same for me.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

f*** Wilson

Now that he got his clock cleaned, I’m sure he’ll do something stupid and get suspended

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Bout time someone clicked Wilson, now will they suspend Reaves because they didnt give it to Wilson last time.

 

[eco's bones]

You know--I really don't see Reaves changing his path on that. To me it's more like Wilson didn't see him than Reaves blindsiding him. Wilson was going at some speed, makes his play and spins right into Reaves path who doesn't try to avoid hitting him but why should he? and anyway you see that big jackass and knowing his history coming right at you what would you think? (I'd be thinking what's this f***er trying to pull? is what) and Reaves obviously loved really belting him but again I don't really see Reaves changing his path and he doesn't hit him high at all. It wasn't particularly malicious and it wasn't predatory. That's not suspension worthy to me. I think the interference major/game misconduct was more than enough.

And by the way if Wilson is concussed---too bad. It might be the only way he'll ever learn.

Strap your goddamn helmet on and stop being an idiot. He also was being a little chucklef*** and tried running Reaves earlier in the game, but Reaves popped him with a reverse hit.

Reaves was an antagonist here and will probably get suspended, but Wilson wasn’t an innocent angel last night. He had his share of shenanigans.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The hit was late and bad. Deserved the 5 but no more should come out of this.

I have zero sympathy for Wilson.

 

[Edge]

Never want to see a guy hurt, but it also says something about a player when it's hard to suppress at least the slightest urge to smile.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Keep your head up buddy.

Struggling to find sympathy for a guy who runs around doing this nightly getting it back on him.

 

[ponytrekker]

Wondering why the Tom Wilson board on the Caps page is so silent. Maybe they need me to post:

Gimme a K!
Gimme an A!
Gimme an R!
Gimme an M!
Gimme another A!

 

[will1066]

What can be sweeter than Reaves' conclusion that Wilson "ran into a lion in the jungle."

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Wilson got Wilson’d and Reirdan’s quote made me chuckle, essentially the same argument he used to defend Wilson the other night used to condemn Reaves this time.

 

[Off Sides]

Wilson seems to have like zero concerns about injuring other players regardless of the situation, game, who he is targeting, anything really. Reeves while certainly no angel in his own right, I never had the impression that he was actively trying to injure other players unless some situation transpired where he probably thought he was reacting to something more so than initiating it.

It's nice to see karma getting that POS.

 

[Rongomania]

Man, f*** that guy. If it was anyone else I’d feel bad. Watching Reeves licking his chops to land that hit was BRUTAL. He had it coming.

[Shesterkybomb]

Reaves doing what the NHL refuses to do, and they say theres no need for enforcers.

He's f***ing fantastic. Taking hard usage too.

Probably a step below the elite, but clearly a #1.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wilson actually takes a ton of dirty hits. There's compilations of Youtube. Of course he's made himself a target for other goons by being such a goon himself, but man he takes some brutal hits I almost feel bad for him.
