Ryan Reaves is profiting off Tom Wilson’s injury with signed photos

[Flames Fanatic]

If we are being honest the fact that this is hilarious and couldn't have happend to a nicer guy doesn't make what Carcillo said untrue.

You aren't wrong. But Carcillo of all people just ruins it.

Fake News

 

[puckpilot]

This is pretty douche. But...

 

[TheAngryHank]

Pretty low.

 

[PBandJ]

Imagine being able to look at things objectively no matter what the names are.

I don't care who it is. Signing a picture of a player you injured is sleazy.

He didn't though. He signed a picture of himself, not his fault Wilson is in the background.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Danny Carcillo chimes in

what did Carcillo think he was being paid for, his offensive contributions?
although to be fair, he did learn his lesson about why what he did was wrong eventually. Hopefully Wilson can follow a similar path now that it's affecting him

Then you should read more about it, because that incident was the result of at least one, maybe two prior incidents.

That was retaliation for Naslund. Plain and simple. I've read plenty enough about it. Thanks.

 

[Pens x]

Pretty low.

What is low? Carcillo? Wilson? So many low involved with this thread, it’s fantastic.

Any thread involving Carcillo and Wilson is epic.

Carcillo seriously needs to disappear. I’m so sick of his opinion.

 

[Sheppy]

I respect Carcillo's stance on head injuries, but the guy is starting to get nauseating.

People on here are truly disgusting, hypocritical and vindictive. As is that player basically celebrating an injury.

Tom Wilson doesn’t even do this...

Wilson deserves what he gets. I’m not being hypocritical. Vindictive? Of course. Wilson is a thug who needs to be put down. Disgusting? Guess it depends on who you’re asking.

 

[Capsman]

The sad thing is, if Wilson actually wore his equipment properly, than he probably wouldn't have been injured. The hit was a little late, but Reaves doesn't jump or even propel himself upwards at all. Wilson looked right at Reaves and then dumbly admired his pass. Then Wilson's helmet jumps out of the way and Wilson hits his head on the ice. The only thing that should come out of this hit, is that the NHL needs to go after the NHLPA to ensure the players are wearing their equipment properly.

The sad thing is that you, as a lay person with no medical background, are pretending you know what you're talking about. Helmets do not prevent concussions.

 

[JoVel]

Boohoo people are so hypocrites. How dare they not cry when a player who has given numerous head injuries gets a taste of his own medicine. Truly amazing.

Are you saying that it doesn't matter if you have a helmet or on not if if you hit your head on the ice?

That is hypocritical Kind of hard to feel the sting of your judgment when you don’t even follow your own principles.


Saying head injuries are bad, and that someone is bad for causing head injuries is bad (strongly implying the celebrating a head injury is bad), then celebrating a head injury is hypocritical.

 

[Syckle78]

He didn't though. He signed a picture of himself, not his fault Wilson is in the background.

Is this supposed to be witty? It was borderline on the first page before being recycled.

 

[PittsburghPens8771]

You forgot hypocritical. Kind of hard to feel the sting of your judgment when you don’t even follow your own principles.

Big bad tommy will be ok... relax.

Go preach to your church

Yeah now that you looked it up. You're welcome.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh no. Not an arguably classless move towards the epitome of class in Tom Wilson! Oh the humanity!

I'm so triggered right now.

Where can I buy about 1,000 of these? They're not for me. I want to send them to Tom Wilson. Send one every day for about 3 years. I just hope I don't hurt this humanitarian's feelings, as I know he cares SO much about the health and well being of his fellow hockey players.

I just really hope Wilson is okay. I would lose so much sleep to learn he's not.

 

[Chips]

Are you saying that it doesn't matter if you have a helmet or on not if if you hit your head on the ice?

He’s saying if you’re hit hard headon and flop down like a rag doll face first, and helmet won’t help you as much.

Maybe if he landed on the top of his head..


Players have hit there heads with the helmet on and got a concussion. When you aren’t bracing yourself you’ll probably hit it harder

 

[GordonGraham]

I love it

 

[Bandit]

He's not the only one who has profited from other player's injuries.

Like the NHL, for example.

 

[CodeE]

When Tommy gives the other boys black eyes, nosebleeds, broken bones, Mrs. Wilson makes sure to tell the other parents boys will be boys, they're just roughhousing, my little Tommy is an angel so clearly it was just an accident whatever happened. Tommy says he didn't do anything and I believe him.

When Tommy comes home with a black eye, Mrs. Wilson is on the warpath. How could someone do this to my sweet little son? What kind of horrible parents are you to raise such horrible monsters that would attack my innocent Tommy? I want the monster who attacked my Tommy transferred to another district immediately! Sign this petition immediately!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It does demonstrate a lack of respect for your fellow players to be doing something like this.

Not nearly as much as repeatedly headhunting them, but still, not great.

 

[Chips]

Lol if it makes you feel better to think I’m truly upset, then go ahead.

I’m just stating my opinion on a discussion forum, same as anyone else.


If you said “I’m being very hypocritical and I’m okay with it” this conversation wouldn’t have really gotten off the ground. Honesty is a great thing.



“Preach” lol. If anyone’s been preachy it’s all the self righteous anti concussion crusaders of the past couple years, in here now throwing all their precious sermons out the window.
