Tom Wilson with a pretty aggressive high stick (suspended 6 games)

[ScaredStreit]

This will only end when the NHLPA becomes ok with the league penalizing players like this drastically. Until then this crap is going to keep continuing.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Done. Sorry, I went with the children's hospital. This is NOT a virtue signal, I just hate people that are full of shit and don't want anyone to think that's me.

I was going to suggest Operation Smile but that’s a great one, respect

I saw duncan keith knock jeff carter's teeth out wit a swing like that and nothing happened.
In open ice.
In a playoff game.
The nhl doesnt give a f*** about safety.

He was suspended for that

 

[DearDiary]

Wilson saw the boards coming, so he put his arms up to brace himself. Gregor was just in his path and it's unfortunate that Gregor got in the way of his stick

If only Wilson had Laviolette as his coach

When do they throw the book at this schmuck???

Correct. Image is all that matters.

Tom Wilson doesn't deserve to be in the league.

Tom Wilson doesn't deserve to be in the league.

No one deserves to be in the league.

Man I get it's the internet but how many times are people going to have to share this before others understand it? Feels like this is the 5th or 6th time this point has been brought up in this thread and people still post like repeat offender status mattes to the length of the suspension.

Welcome to my world.

According to TSN, Wilson apologized immediately for it. I therefore take back everything I said and think he should be let go without a suspension...

Who cares if he said sorry, hes a repeat offender, puck wasnt there, it wasnt a hockey play. He knew what he was doing. Theres legitimately no reason for him to swing his stick in that direction at that time.

Its a stupid play, hope he gets 5+

How close to game time are they gonna announce this? Game starts in less than 2 hours

They’ll announce no suspension during the 1st intermission and Wilson will descend from the rafters

It seems to me it could benefit the Caps to get rid of this player for a while, he doesn't look like a smart individual.
That's a coward right there, I think he's getting 9-11 games

He's had some nice years but this year he hasn't been particularly good.

Ouch. That seems a lot. I know he has a past but...

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Good for the idiot. Keep it up Tommy.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Well deserved. Didn't think Parros had the balls.

f*** Tom Wilson.

Do the ape thing Tom

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

 

[MoreMogilny]

Well deserved for stick swinging. No clue what he could possibly have been thinking but I’m glad they actually gave him a meaningful suspension length.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Should’ve been way longer.

Caps are going to regret that contract they gave to this guy.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I see the court of public opinion has already found Tom Wilson guilty. A dumb play for sure, but I don't think you can prove intent to injure, especially given Tom's obvious regret after he saw the damage that he did.

I can understand maybe 1-2 games for the carelessness of the infraction and the resulting injury. Any more than that is just bias towards Wilson.

So about that.

Close. Only like triple your estimate. Guess the DoPS also disagrees with you.

​

?

Wilson literally did have Laviolette as his coach… at the same time as when Wilson should’ve been suspended rather than fined for his play against the Rangers a few years ago.

I was expecting longer. That was a scumbag move by a dirty player. That could have resulted in a serious injury.
