Here's a quarter...calls someone who cares.
When was the last time Wilson had a fight for the sake of having a fight?You’re crazy if you don’t think Wilson is going to kick someone’s ass.
Won’t be surprised one bit if Cbus tries to set the tone and Wilson silences them early.
It was "S" CAPS Well, I think so
I'm sure he's thrilled the fans don't give a ****
I think it's a common strategy to get quick goals at start. Flyers couldn't manage it, doesn't mean it will be same with Caps if they get to 2nd round.Pens played harder last night than the Caps have played since Barry's 1st year. Even if we make it thru the 1st round we are done.
When was the last time Wilson had a fight for the sake of having a fight?
When was the last time he had a fight in the post-season?
I'll tell you the answer to both. The last proper fight he had was Feb 27th, he had 12 other fights before that and 50% of them came before he gained a top line roll (early Dec). So in a period of like 2 months of the early season he accrued half of his total fights, then in the next 5 months he spread the other 6 out. Someone is clearly telling him his roll on this team has changed and that he shouldn't be fighting any more.
Last season TW43 played his best postseason ever, he had 0 fights. The year before he had 1 fight, the previous playoffs he had 1 fight and that was because he had to answer for a hit.
Did you know in his two seasons with the lowest time on ice he has his 1st and 3rd most career fights? When you're on the top line you don't do that stuff, when you're a bottom 6 grinder and have been told this is your value you do.
If Tom Wilson fights for ****s and gigs tonight or at all this series, #1 someone on our team is an idiot and needs to be fired for allowing that, #2 I'll eat crow.
Right, but that's a reason. I'm saying the fighting for the sake of fighting era of him is over, especially in the playoffs.If someone cheap shot Kuzy, which wouldn't shock, Wilson would step up. I'm pretty sure
Who does Willy take on early? I feel like Cbus will attempt to start something right off.
I was born ready.@thesaadfather , you ready for this? Let's get this place rocking!
Why? The Capitals over achieved this season. Losing Williams, MAJO, Alzner, Shattenkirk and Schultz in the off season (though couldn't imagine where this team would be right now if McPhee did take Grubauer instead of Schultz) and rolling with four rookies (Vrana, Stephenson, Djoos and Bowey many a night) no one saw the Caps finishing the season where they did. That Torts and the Jackets obviously tanked the last game of the season so to avoid the Penguins and go against the Caps I think puts more pressure on them. As far as I'm concerned, the Capitals are playing with house money right now, the expectations for this team is not as high as last year's team or previous seasons, which I believe benefits this Caps team.
Still love Peter Bondra and that happy smile. Great guy. Hell of a player
