NHL Around the NHL XI - Hall traded to Coyotes by Devils

[Smitty93]

​

Not all of Wilson's hits are dirty, but almost all of them are predatory. I'm sure Caps fans love rooting for him, but he makes the term NHL Player Safety look like an oxymoron. I can't imagine giving less of a **** for an opponent than he does.

Technically not an illegal hit, but Wilson had intent to hurt the kid. Too bad those pukes pulled it out in OT. The Caps don't like playing the Jackets.

Looked like boarding from here

When I heard that Wilson had laid another controversial hit in the Jackets game, the video I found was of this hit on Wennberg:



I couldn't see what the fuss was about, as for sure it's heavy contact but it's open ice, not late and perfectly legal. Now I see this Lilija one, and it makes sense. But again, it's legal - contact is shoulder to shoulder - and it's just unfortunate that Lilija hit his head against the boards on his way down.

Given he's only 25 and playing in a league where smaller, slighter guys are only going to become more common, Wilson's tally for guys he injures over the course of his career is probably going to get close to triple figures.

Slightly predatory hit, but clean.

Re: Ovechkin skipping the ASG;

Why make a big announcement of it? Why not just say “My X hurts” and have the medical staff say you need to rest it?

Didnt get involved, but this place has a problem when leaf fans can almost shut down a gdt based on arguing if their player who got called for diving dove or not. The protection they get flat out blows.

have to somehow find a way to get past Tom Wilson and his huge hits to get the Stanley Cup.

Wilson sees some cutting across the ice lays a nice hit. Bruins players see the same opportunity... nah, let me check my flow make sure it awesome. I’ll head to the bench for a change now.

Less than a week after fans voted Alex Ovechkin captain of the Metropolitan Division All-Stars, the Capitals forward said he plans to skip the annual showcase.

They will already be eliminated when the Bruins will reach the ECF.

Another couple of guys are now available that the Bruins should have zero interest in:

 

[Lobster57]

6 minutes into the Habs/Bolts game. Shots are 11-0 Habs, they're up 1-0.

edit: 2-0 Scabs. 17-0 shots. Yikes

 

[Bruinaura]

The Leafs Rangers track meet is underway. 2-1 Rangers not even halfway through the first

 

[SPLBRUIN]

6 minutes into the Habs/Bolts game. Shots are 11-0 Habs, they're up 1-0.

edit: 2-0 Scabs. 17-0 shots. Yikes

Have to think that Cooper is going to get the axe if the Lightning don't pick it up soon. No excuses for that team to be playing so poorly for half of the year.

 

[Lobster57]

Habs/Bolts tied at 2. It's been all Bolts since the Habs went up 2-0

edit: 3-2 Tampa.

 

[missingchicklet]

This Habs TB game has been great. TB went up 4-2, Claude called a TO and the Habs immediately scored. 4-3 now.

 

[DKH]

6 minutes into the Habs/Bolts game. Shots are 11-0 Habs, they're up 1-0.

Tampa playing for new coach

Kreider flying

Rangers & Leafa make an agreement no hitting ?

 

[Bruinaura]

Meanwhile, in Detroit....

Wilson absolutely SMOKES two Blue Jackets in this game. Funny. Josh Anderson, Foligno, or the other physical BJ’s didn’t stop that from happening or do anything about it. I’m shocked. Can’t believe it. That Columbus team is soft as puppy poo, I guess.

Well they did lose Panarin

Smart move. I applaud him. The All-Star game is a joke. The league wouldn’t let him play in the Olympics, he owes them nothing. The Capitals pay his salary, he owes them everything.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

gotta love the canes taking it to the caps again. i could def see them knocking wsh out again this year.

Well Josh Anderson is currently on IR so I'm guessing Wilson wasn't too worried about him.
