Tom Wilson episode against the Rangers #4 (UPD: Fined $5k for roughing Buchnevich)

[tarheelhockey]

Is he a repeat offender though? He's got banned for 'high hits' before, not punching. That's like a shop being burgled nearby and police coming to ask me where I was because I've got a couple of speeding tickets

That's like having a criminal history and then having it taken into consideration when you commit a different crime next time.

Wait, that's exactly what happens

Tomorrow nights game is probably going to be a disaster.

Rangers have nothing to lose and are probably upset about this. Do they have any big boys they can call up that will just throw bodies for 60 minutes and drop gloves? I see a bunch of guys on their AHL roster that are 6'4+ but not sure how tough they are

 

[shtorm2005]

These incidents will keep happening in a league where small players trying to be tough. Wilson paid 5k to give Panarin a valuable lesson.

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

Are we still talking about ratings gold TW?

 

[Alwalys]

On one hand, blowing it this bad could lead to real change at the Dops.

On the other hand lol yeah right

 

[Fataldogg]

League looks even dumber now that Panarin is out for the season.

Panarin is out the rest of the season?

 

[Alwalys]

If I'm the rangers I call up every goon in their system to teach the league a lesson.

That's my other biggest problem with this.

Players or the team now have to do something about it instead of the League being like woah now let's risk more injuries we will do it.

Rangers shouldn't need to dress Goons or have players go after Wilson and Wilson shouldn't be playing.

But it's not but thanks for your input

This is the kind of blunder that ultimately leads to much worse consequences. The league either needs to be more lenient on fighting or be more consistent with cracking down on this kind of garbage. Wilson is either going to one day overstep that line and really hurt someone or someone is going to finally take matters into their own hands and really hurt Wilson. All of it could have been avoided with a 3 or 4 day vacation.

Panarin is out the rest of the season?

Rangers' Artemi Panarin out for rest of season after incident with Wilson

 

[HabsQC]

Blame Troll Stomper; that dude's out of control legit. Gives out more infractions than the rest of the staff COMBINED.

All my latest infractions are from him.

I legit assumed that was the name we see whenever we get an infraction nowadays, as if it were a generic name to protect the name of the mod who gives you the infraction.

If I'm caught speeding I receive a ticket over 100 bucks as a regular day citizen.

If it's a school zone it's 300 dollars.

In Canada we have 50% of the population living 200 dollars or less from insolvency.

So 1 ticket literally could force half of Canada to take out a loan or do public service etc.

While we give a a essentially a tiny fine to this guy. 5000 dollars to him is less than what a speeding ticket to me is. A joke.

haha that is a great breakdown, never looked at it that way. You make good points. It's absurd.

 

[Del Preston]

Good video by John Scott. If the league insists on having a goon run player safety, can it be him?

Parros blew it, and now anything goes in scrums.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Someone needs to put him in his place. I think goons will come back because of this guy. Some people will love that but I think it's part of the game that can go a little far in this case. Last thing I want to see is someone end their promising career because of some goon like Tom Wilson. While he is a player who can do other things, stuff like this overshadows it to being a good thing and becomes a drag. It's one thing to be a pest that annoys players and i think he could play that role very well if he was smarter but he is pretty much a goon and last night proved it. Nhl won't do anything about it, time to release the big idiots again!

 

[shtorm2005]

Your glib retort or not, doesn't make what he said any less true.

Panarin will miss the rest of the Rangers' remaining games as a result of that ****head Tom Wilson's actions.

As a result that it's just 3 meaningless games. I doubt he would miss them if Rangers would still fighting for a spot.

I really have no idea whats going to happen, but we will know as soon as the puck drops what kind of game it will be, I can assure you that. Once that puck drops, I think it's Rangers-Devils 2012 Center Ice Brawl

No Wilson thread is ever complete without this all-time epic loser move.

It's like he's proud he dressed himself for the first time and wants to show mom and dad.

What a ****ing goof.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

Wow, I didn’t think he’s get suspended for the rest of the season but I figured he’d at least be done for the rest of the regular season. But only a $5k fine? DoPS proves they are absolutely clueless.

I don’t know if the DoPS response or the amount of Caps fans still defending this guy is more pathetic. I seriously feel bad for the Caps fans who know he’s a classless goon who get a bad rap.

 

[kicksavedave]

#3 was locked and I did not see a #4 so thought id start it.

Tom Wilsons fine equals 0.00097 of his cap hit this year.

For comparisson, for a person making 60.000usd a year, that comes out at 58 dollars. 58 dollars to end a superstars season while also coming close to crushing his skull against the ice. For a repeat offender.

You're wrong. He wasn't fined anything for ragdolling Panarin. Nothing, not $5K, nothing. He was fined for the hit to Buch's head.

Continue with the outrage.

 

[SENSational]

The NHL is a joke league, can't be taken seriously. Do they expect nothing to happen next game? Rangers have nothing to lose this season. Horrible, amateurish look.

Its just so unbelievably embarrassing.

 

[shtorm2005]

if you put an enforcer on your top line he will only bring instigating penalty to your team.

 

[Svechhammer]

What's sad is player safety will never do anything to Wilson. Unfortunately it's going to have to be a player that seriously injures him. And Wilson's going to fully deserve it.

And that person. The one who takes out Wilson? That person will be dealt a heavy suspension without pay by the league.
