No Supplemental Discipline for Reaves hit on Wilson

[Artorius Horus T]

Good call.

 

[IceNeophyte]

It was Nosek.

He got Karlsson once, too. I have no quarrels with Ovi's hit, he's a big boy, lays clean hits, and they are always hockey plays. The antithesis of Wilson.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Name them.

Luke Gazdic
Brandon Bollig
Chris Stewart
Tom Sestito
Joe Thornton
Brian Boyle
Ross Johnston
Marcus Foligno
Ryan Reaves

Lol big bad tommy wouldn’t drop the gloves. It’s comical how big of a p**** he is. He can only hit you when you’re not looking

Odd statement for a Pens fan to make.

Zack Auston-Reese was looking right at Wilson when they collided. Do you not remember that?

 

[sepster]

That shouldn't have been any penalty in the first place. Reaves hit him below the shoulder and it wasn't late. Not to mention Wilson looked right at Reaves and then turned away, which was idiotic because Wilson himself would never pass up that same hit if he were the one throwing it.

This is a prime example of why the NHL needs to have video review for major penalties just like College Football reviews targeting calls. If a ref is going to hand out a major penalty and remove a guy from a game, they better make the effort to review the play and make the right call.

Marcus F0ligno, Braydon Cobourn, Patrick Maroon, Ross Johnston, Tom Sestito, Chris Stewart, Bradon Bollig, Ryan Reaves (x2), Zach Sill....would you like more names of people who are as big or bigger than Wilson?

Sure, please do.

Tommy took his beatings from Sestito, Bollig, Gazdic in style I'll give you that. Nice research though bud, I see you went back half a decade to pull some of these names.

What we can agree on is next time LV and Wash meet Tommy boy will tuck his tail and avoid Reeves at all costs. Unfortunately I can see him facedown on the ice again for being a coward.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Don’t be angry bro. Big bad tommy is a huge lil b****

I don't really care. As far as I'm concerned Wilson got some comeuppance for all the players he's concussed.

But it won't cause me to make blatantly inaccurate statements - as it did for you, and many others in Wilson related threads.

Agree.

He has stepped up a few times over 6 years. I can give him that I suppose.

 

[ManyIdeas]

Wait did Wilson get Wilsoned?? How did I miss this?

Nah, it was a clean hit

If I'm the coach of the Caps, I'm looking at Wilson's offensive value vs Reaves's, and concluding that trading Wilson for Reaves is a bad exchange, because Wilson is by far the superior hockey player.

Conversely, if I'm coaching Vegas, I'd love to trade Reaves for Wilson.

What you foolishly view as cowardice, is actually discipline.

 

[puckpilot]

I'm absolutely crestfallen about this decision. /sarcasm.

 

[Cellee]

However you want to spin it.

Didn't stop superstar from going after ZAR

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I hope to see Tommy Boy drop the mitts next time Reeves challenges him early. If not I can see a similar fate. Tommy Boy learning there is always someone bigger, and stronger. Thankfully Reeves doesnt have a habit of running rookies, instead he chooses to humble big, bad, fast Tom Wilson lol.

How many actual legit fights has Wilson had in his nhl career?

 

[Brock Radunske]

Just watched the highlights of the game...even without getting blown up by this hit, Wilson was Reeves' bitch the whole game

 

[Midnight Judges]

40? 50? Something like that.

edit: 65 actually.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Nah, it was a clean hit

Guess so, the league didn't think it was dirty.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Let's try to keep the whole "glad he is injured" types of comments out of this thread. Thank you.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I keep reading comments about "hit from behind". But that's not a penalty, is it? It only matters if you hit the numbers and board a player.

For an open ice hit, it needs to not be late, and you need to not launch into the player or make the head the principle point of contact. I believe people are citing old rules about "blindside" hits which are no longer in the rulebook. Am I wrong in my understanding of the current rules?

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

40? 50? Something like that.

edit: 65 actually.

Wow. Ok. I'll stand corrected

I figured the number would have been much much lower.

 

[Hank Plank]

Their second fight Ryan Reaves absolutely rocked Wilson, no contest.

Yep

Justify it however you want, call it whatever you want but Tommy's peers are sick of his actions and excuses. Unfortunately Tommy ran into the big bad Lion last night. It wont be long until we see Tommy face down again.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Bro you're sooo mad. You can't accept the fact that big bad tommy is just a cheap shot artist.

Tom Wilson is a cheap shot artist. I agree with that.

The problem with your inaccurate emotion-driven statement is that you included the word "just."

Tom Wilson has rounded into a good hockey player - 15 points in 21 playoff games last year and well over a PPG this year.

[ZeroPucksGiven]

What does it matter? Caps have nobody in the National League or the minors that Reeves would be remotely worried about. If Tommy boy dropped the gloves and took his beating early he would have avoided being absolutely rocked. Instead Tommy tucked his tail and ran away and we see what that got him.

Funny how he tends to do that when guys in his weight class challenge him
