Half-Assed GDT: Blues at Caps 2pm CT

[converseman54]

I really hope we don't play the Caps again next preseason. Wilson's injured 3 guys in 4 games. And it's guys fighting to make the team. That pretty much ends their chances of making it

NHL won’t do anything to stop players like Wilson!! You have to still have someone on the roster that challenges him and keeps players like him honest!!’

 

[ManyIdeas]

yeah, they will have another preseason loss and wilson will sit for 2 games

can't wait til he headshots someone every blues preseason game until forever

They do. What has that done the last 2 years?

 

[mk80]

Dude it’s preseason. Nobody cares about the scoreboard...

Yes I'm aware that it is still preseason. I just mean I'd rather our guys focus on getting their last tune up in before the regular season starts, then retaliate on a hit that has already been handled with Wilson getting a match penalty.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

These Caps play by play guys love Wilson.

Thorburn was on the ice when the hit occurred. Needless to say it didn't deter Wilson.

I know... It's sickening how much they care for Wilson.

Most of these guys aren’t even gonna make the team lol. They should be hitting the Capitals hard any chance they get.

 

[rumrokh]

Very good period for Mikkola and Jaskin. I like seeing Perron dart in and out of traffic. Thomas is getting comfortable - a few great reads on the PK, too.

AND he got a 2 minute penalty for I'm not sure what, but it certainly wasn't pummeling Wilson. So he cut our powerplay down to 3 minutes. Thorburn's services are not needed here

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Caps announcers act like Wilson simply got caught spending and are worried that he will miss a few games.

Pathetic.

The Blues literally had Thorburn out there when it happened.

What did that accomplish?

Nothing.

You can't stop crap like this from happening by having a tough guy out on the roster, or even on the ice. Mixing it up afterward isn't going to stop stuff like this from happening again, either.

 

[OSA]

I’m of the opinion that suspensions should carry over to the games against the team that was harmed. So, if Tom Wilson gets 10 games let’s say, 2 of the games are held over for when the Caps play the Blues. It doesn’t really help the Blues out if Wilson is suspended for games against teams in the Midwest but is rested and ready to go for games against the Blues.

Not to mention linesmen are quick to break up and prevent any fights now, even on the shot of Thorburn confronting Wilson the best they could do was face wash each other because the linesmen didn't let a true fight break out.

True. A 20 game suspension will help

 

[Edgar Carrow]

True. A 20 game suspension will help

He was suspended 3 times last season if I recall correctly.

People will never understand this. Our guys routinely got cheap shotted when we had the toughest guy in the league on our team. It does nothing.

I'd like to see the suspended player's salary go to the person he injured. Sundqvist could use some of that sweet dough Wilson just got

 

[Oberyn]

Yikes Dunn

 

[mk80]

Wow too much time in the zone there boys

 

[Novacain]

That was an abysmal turnover.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Dunn??????

 

[542365]

Sanford that was brutal. So was Johnson there. Have to catch that fluttering puck.
