Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Rangers - 7pmish

[4thTierSport]

why'd you bring up the ear and the cheek?

Can’t remember your own post? Let me remind you:

he hit him in the back of the head.

 

[EroCaps]

you're making progress.

I'm repeating myself. It's a roughing minor. Not even a double minor considering Strome and Panarin jumped his back.

 

[DWGie26]

Good lord. Could go back to the mains for this.

 

[4thTierSport]

you're making progress.

he hit his head while he was down.

This might be funny if you weren’t wrong and trying to cover yourself.

 

[um]

I'm repeating myself. It's a roughing minor. Not even a double minor considering Strome and Panarin jumped his back.

why would Strome and Panarins actions change what Wilson did?

It's a sucker punch to a player already on the ice.

Dude, this could be our last chance at a Stanley Cup with this core. We need him for the playoffs if we want to have our best crack at it. In a meaningless game after clinching a playoff spot, he pulls a WWE wrestling move on the Rangers superstar and punches the back of another dude's head in a scrum.

Social media is losing their shit and will call for a Torres suspension. We may not have Wilson this year for the playoffs, and Ovi's injured for like the first time ever. To me I'm losing my shit at how this could be decisive for the outcome of the season for the Caps.

I think it’s a stupid play, but the overblown throw him out of the league stuff to come out of this one is just bizarre.

I can’t see them suspending him for it. And if they do I think it’s easily thrown out by playoffs is the NHLPA goes to an arbitrator.

 

[um]

This might be funny if you weren’t wrong and trying to cover yourself.

he got him in the side of the head, I don't have the video on replay here.

Side of the head/back of the head... does it make a difference?

what is your point? Wilson f***ed up was mine.

It's exaggerated for sure, but not unfounded. That's arguably dirtier than any of the other shit I've seen him throw in his career.

 

[um]

agreed.

This wasn't a hit gone wrong because of a split second reaction. There is no excuse this time.

People are seriously defending Wilson for punching a player who's face first on the ice because, in their mind, he hit the back of the jersey before he hit the head. As if that makes it an acceptable play?

you’ll accuse me of changing the subject but I’ll still say it. See scrum punches that are dirty all the time. It a 2 minute roughing call. You sound like the crazies loosing their mind on this. If it was anyone else, there is no conversation.

The most predictable take yet

this wasn't a scrum, this was Buchnevich down all the ice with Wilson already on top of him.

Wilson threw the first punch.

And yes the conversation is louder with Wilson involved, but it doesn't change what he just did.

No, the most predictable take is when Wilson is suspended for 20 games and the Caps are bounced early because they're missing a $5M chunk of their roster.

No, because said player pitched forked and tried kicking the goalie.

 

[um]

No, because said player pitched forked and tried kicking the goalie.

I didn't see TVR, Dillon or Vanecek freaking out at Buchnevich. Only Wilson.

I would like to see a better video of the kick if anyone has it btw.

 

[um]

Stop acting like rags player weren’t being just as dirty.

Wilson started it with a sucker punch to an already downed player.

Of course they would try to get him off.

And again, that doesn't change what Wilson did. I don't care if they murdered a kitten after, Wilson still f***ed up.

 

[Hivemind]

No, because said player pitched forked and tried kicking the goalie.

The cognitive dissonance between defending Wilson's actions while condemning Buchnevich's is absurd.

Around the 2 minute mark you’ll see the overhead view. Wilson clearly reacts to Buchnevich’s kicking motion towards Vanecek when he’s in full splits.

The only cognitive dissonance is you shaping thing that aren’t there to your narrative. Then again, that is nothing new from you.

h11 beat me to it but Wilson did not start this.

If you can't see why you claiming Buchnevich's actions are despicable for "kicking" a goalie while defending Wilson for attacking a player in a defenseless position is cognitive dissonance, there's no helping you.

 

[um]

There's no kick there, that's why no one else reacts.

 

[hb12xchamps]

There's no kick there, that's why no one else reacts.

His left leg absolutely kicks and makes contact with Vanecek’s pad when he’s in full splits. It’s immediately after he does that when Wilson throws the punch. It’s almost as if both things are connected

Some people will entertain your bullshit, but I will not.
