I think you've got this the other way. Wilson has been bambi whenever Ritchie is nearby... EXCEPT when Ritchie is on his knees.

Ritchie is a fantastic fighter. He would murk Wilson.

I don’t think that’s true. I don’t think Ritchie is worried about fighting Wilson. It’s not like Wilson is prime Lucic or Clark Gillies or anything. It’s probably be a close bout. Hell, Ritchie would likely win.

Aside from being wrong about Ritchie not wiping the floor with him...on what planet was the first Wilson Frederic fight a tie?
And even if it was.....Frederic is 185 soaking wet..
Legit heavies would tune him up 99/100.
A tie (which was a loss) and an unconvincing win on points to Frederic says everything you need to know about Wilson’s fighting ability.

Feel free to explain how in the Wide, Wide World of Sports this an example of Wilson "getting the better of" Miller:

Kind of like Wilson stopped fighting after the first 20 seconds. Once Miller got going Little Willlie was playing Duck, Duck, Goose.

Ritchie is a technical fighter in comparison to Wilson who uses haymakers and his strength, I don`t think Ritchie is one bit afraid to drop em` with Wilson, simply think what pisses a headcase like Wilson off the most are players who don`t play along with him

I would like to say that !
I think he can beat Wilson but for some reason he hasn't been to eager to get involved with him, he even avoided Dillon tonight after Dillon faced washed him, and Ritchie has destroyed Dillon in the past.

With Miller out, Ritchie is really the only guy that can hold his own out there.
Unless there is a moment in the game that calls for Ritchie to make a statement or take a stand, there's that saying: look at the score. No need for the Bruins to give the Caps any morale boost, a fight vs. Ritchie in a game that the B's are winning would be just that.

He’s probably scared of taking a penalty, because when he does this fan base writes him off. If he dummies a guy, it’s awesome, if he takes a penalty, people want him scratched.
Coach may be scolding the team overall for their constant trips to the box, probably part of it. Considering Ritchie’s fights, I wouldn’t say he’s afraid of Wilson and definitely not Dillon.
He doesn’t initiate a lot of fights but when people poke the bear it’s usually a mistake. He would have went with Wilson had the officials not jump in.

I have no rationale or basis for it, I just don't see what he really does.
With that said, I do not want them to scratch him....Third line has been playing well the last two games and Ritchie seems to not care about anything except filling whatever role the team needs him to play at a given time. Right now he's one of three guys over six feet on a third line that is doing the dirty work for this team. Keep it coming. We have enough skill in the top two lines and he adds a bit of bite. Not that anyone is suggesting it...

Yeah, but not because he has any fire -- he doesn't -- and not because he's Shawn Thornton. He' big, he can throw, and that's it.
He probably would beat Wilson, who is not, from what I've seen, any great fighter. Just a cheap eff who does cheap shit. I hope someone maims that guy. I really do. Not nice, but that's the view from this corner.
Lucic would *still* kick his ass. He would destroy Wilson.

No surpise. I don't like "He's a beast," etc. But Looch is a force of nature.
I think Tinordi has aquitted himself relatively well. I would bring him in, mindful of his concussion history.
He's six seven, I think, and he can play responsbily.

Count of punches landed / force delivered. Miller threw a bunch at the end over Wilson's should that didn't land.
I absolutely love Miller, have since his first days with the team, supported his re signing for this year (most here didn't), but I can be objective. I don't know why people won't just admit that Wilson is one of the toughest guys in the league now.
Like I said, Ritchie is tough. He'd probably do OK against him. But the fact is, when a ref isn't between them, Ritchie has turned away from Wilson time after time when Wson tries to get in his face.
Have you seen a time when Ritchie tried to go after Wilson? If so, I missed. I just don't think he wants that dance.
