Wilson dirty hit to head on Brandon Carlo

[Chips]

Btw there was some discussion earlier about whether he’s still a repeat offender

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

It is Wilson. He has shown historically not to care for his peers. He also exploded up into this hit. This is a Wilson hit, not a hockey hit.

Context matters. He had just run at Frederic hard twice this shift. He was not thinking rationally, and was looking to injure Carlo. No question.

So has marchand, queen of the slew foot.

He literally avoided the body to go after the head. There was no last second movement that made him alter his path. He was trying to seriously injure him. I don’t know how many more times he can do this and be allowed to play in the NHL.

UFC has some openings, but what he does isn’t hockey.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

This kind of stuff is extremely detrimental to the league’s success, in several ways. Why the NHL does nothing in response is beyond me.

I still don't get why they keep hiring neanderthals to run the DoPS.

Wilson's hit on Lubo is a disgrace and I'm embarrassed to support Caps after that predatory hit with intent to seriously injure. Should have gotten 41+ games for that.

Cool deflection. Who did Marchand slew foot tonight?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

NHL taken to hospital after hit from other NHL player.

“CLEAN HIT THOUGH!!””

A few of you are absolute complete idiots.

You do know players can get hurt on clean plays right?

this analogy says you shouldn’t be calling other people idiots

I just watched 5 plays by the board in a row and I saw people dropping their heads. WTF you talkin about, it happens all the time. I’m sure you don’t do it if you know a hit is coming below your head, but how’s someone supposed to know if they are being blind sided?

They’re supposed to look around. That’s an inherent risk.


People are seriously pained to hate Wilson lol. The guys made bad hits, but his hands touched his head on follow through. Head was not principle point of contact. Period

Easily the worst Wilson offense in my eyes


Idk how many times he needs to show people he doesn’t care about his fellow human

 

[Herregud]

Considering you spent years defending Tom Wilsons actions I can understand you asking the question, since you must live in an alternative reality where Wilsons violent acts are OK. For the people living in the real world, Wilsons actions are to be condemned.

What years did I spend defending Tom Wilson's actions?

I haven't even defended this hit in *this* thread, you chucklehead.

Not since 2019. New HF rules, plays can be retroactively made “dirty” by injury.

 

[Pens x]

Can a player knock out this clown?

Well see here because Torres missed a lot of time due to injuries but still got repeat status because of history

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

The puck was in his feet so he is eligible to he hit , he must be aware of that , my point was players cant stand there to get smoked. The end result is unfortunate but part of that lies on Carlos.

Even in super slo-mo, Carlo wasn't standing there. Wilson gets there right after him.

 

[flyersfan018]

How anyone can keep defending this loser is beyond me.

context does matter. 166 games without incident. Per rules he’s not a repeat offender in DoPS eyes

it’s absolutely a hockey hit. “Play hard/physical, momentum rah rah”

there are players going for big hits on that on a number of teams.

is it unnecessary to make a hit there? Sure, but in no different sense than literally any other hit made ever. I mean, you’ve got a stick.

big hits are and have always been legal. Fans will probably want that changed in a few years, but right now he’s allowed to make that hit.

he came from the side, which is allowed, and as a player was rotating he hit arm/shoulder first, and landed squarely on the chest with his shoulder. His hands tucked to his chest made contact on the follow through.

It was a hockey play

 

[bleedgreen]

Yes he did

Dirtiest star player I’ve ever seen.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Blichfeld did the same thing, minus using his gloves to drive someone’s head into the boards, and got a match penalty and a two-game suspension. Meanwhile, Wilson and his history doesn’t even get a two-minute penalty. I’ve given up trying to understand the refs and the DOPS and this point.

 

[Chips]

This is such an idiotic take. You’re not even watching what happened.

I am. Watch from the front angle, not the over the back side of Carlos shoulder angle.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Completely not paying attention while on the boards , stop ,put your head /eyes down .. like how most players protect themselves. . Lots of players do both, he f***ed up and got cought.its unfortunate and hope he is ok.

Here's where you're wrong.

1st. Carlo was already engaged by another player and won the puck battle.
2nd. Call it reckless or whatever, it's still on Wilson to recognize a player in a bad position and not full truck them. Not playing the puck at all.
3rd. Even if it's reckless, on a play gone bad, those still come with consequences.
4th. The players being aware while being distracted by another player and you are the 3rd man in and injure the player should be treated differently than that of a guy who's just one on one with another...That's not only cheap and dirty when you're not going for the puck, it's disgusting piece of garbage work fit for a soap party to get the point across to players like Wilson to understand why stuff like that is wrong.

A smart player would see the opportunity to try and get the puck to try and help win the game.

Completely unnecessary.

On top of that you have Varana cross checking a injured man with his hands down to the ice in distress... Like why? because he beat you out of a puck battle? He should be fined.

Not exactly good PR for them...

,

the only legitimate reason one can think of is they think it offers a players perspective on these incidents that a non player wouldn’t. The problem with that is these ex players they are hiring are quite obviously suffering from mild to medium brain damage. I’m not being flip either. There is no way in the last few years to explain some of the blatant ass backward rulings coming out of that mensa factory.

ITT : Fans of teams that employed Matt Cooke, Shawn Thornton, Brad Marchand, and Matt Martin crying because the shoe is on the other foot now.

I think the people they've hired is a misguided attempt for credibility on these rulings. "See even a tough guy thinks this was suspension worthy! Not just one of those wussy star players who doesn't want his brain scrambled!"
