I’m having an entertaining time with some joker who is making a point, specific to the Crosby/konecny deal, that it was ok because Crosby has a neck issue and konecny was hanging on his neck.
Anyone else think Chris Drury orchestrated that tweet and in doing so earned himself a nice promotion?
I listened to Sean Avery’s podcast today and he literally said “did used to try and break legs and wrists? Yeah but there’s a line you can’t cross and Panarin’s helmet was off”
The retcon by some former enforcers to the “when I did the awful things it was okay” that I’ve seen by some guys this week has been amazing
Yeah, my favourite is John Scott crying about star protection. The same guy who proudly talks about the time when he literally attacked Phil Kessell from the puck drop just because he happened to be the closest guy around and Scott was thirsty for blood.
Likes of Matt Cooke and Sean Avery and Laraque being very loud here.
I find it highly interesting. The physocological side of this all. The social hyperbole hate in general, not just this case and Wilson.
In the age of social media, everyone just wants to stay relevant and get clicks/likes. They're no different, slowly dying now that they're out of the spotlight, desperately clinging.
Yea i get the need of acceptance and being part of the mob and in the middle of it. But the double standardism and going full rage is the fascinating part. Even very smart and calm people completely lose it. Like the main boards, theres a good study ground for someone in the university for social behaviourism and mob mentality
Wilson needs his own theme song now. My choice:
CTE is devastating on the logical centers of the brain.Yeah, my favourite is John Scott crying about star protection.

He is also the first guy in to defend a teammate and that is why it’s different then the true cowards like Marchand, Cooke, etc., who are dirty, refuse to answer the bell and don’t stick up for teammates. The Caps players know Wilson has there back every night and were happy to step up last night for him.
Haven't seen this posted here yet but wow:
Report: George Parros Didn't Want To Suspend Tom Wilson For Brandon Carlo Hit
“Parros, we’ve heard, didn’t even want to suspend Wilson for the brain-damaging assault on Boston’s Brandon Carlo, who suffered mood changes and blurry vision from his concussion after being hospitalized by Wilson in March,” The Athletic’s Rick Carpiniello reported.
According to Carpiniello, it was NHL commissioner Gary Bettman who overruled Parros on the decision to suspend Wilson.
“Bettman didn’t like the optics and ordered a suspension. So Wilson got seven games,” Carpiniello wrote. “Before that, he wasn’t even considered a repeat offender, because the CBA erases priors after a certain period of time transpires.”
