Wilson hit on Brandon Carlo (Part-2) (suspended 7 games)

[Tobias Kahun]

7 games, and this was a $500 fine in 1994

I think Churla learned Bure isnt the guy to be taking runs at.

 

[hockeeyyy]

Should have been a life time ban. He doesn’t learn and he never will.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Raffi Torres 2.0, league DOPS is weak and cowardly

Thunder Bay Bruin goon

I feel like the only the people surprised when Wilson blatantly attempts to injure someone are Capitals fans. So many of them are convinced that Wilson is a good boy, who could never hurt a fly.

EDIT: If Wilson is the type of player who can "lose control" on the ice with little antagonism on the opponent's part, maybe the Capitals should teach him how to maintain control, rather than zeroing in on the easiest target and trying to end careers. Just a thought

I'm Caps fan but I don't support some of the hits he has done. Though you don't have to look far to see the NHL has rewarded these type of players like Mark Messier, Scott Stevens with HHOF inductions. So he's really just another Scott Stevens.

Essentially a 10 game suspension in a 82 game regular season

 

[deepelemblues]

7 is fine as long as this is his last chance. Next time suspend him for a season. Dude just stop taking runs at people's heads 3-4 times a season

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Deserved.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Wtf??? He got mostly body?????

cowardly decision

No hit league

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I like Wilson, but that was going for the head all the way.

Seven games is less than it deserved, but more than what I thought they'd give him. Progress, I guess.

 

[Hivemind]

Seems fair.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Where all those Wilson lovers?

if you look just above you, one brave Wilson supporter (guess which team he follows) is proclaiming the death of hockey

 

[Mantis]

Probably should be longer but better than nothing

 

[SI90]

Wait, I thought it was shoulder to shoulder? Lol


Take a sit Willy! 7 games of guys not having to worry about being targeted by Him in a Vulnerable spot.

 

[Pia8988]

About 33 games too short

 

[BTO]

7 games it is.

Seven games for a shoulder to shoulder hit? smh.

 

[57special]

Wtf??? He got mostly body?????

cowardly decision

No hit league

No, a coward is someone who sits on the sideline and cheers giving other people concussions.

Thats the way I looked at it. I am actually happy with this from the NHL. I think they got this one right. I was expecting 5 to be honest.

it’s a physical sport bud

 

[Chips]

They’ll announce the other 43 games tomorrow.


In all seriousness, fair deal. Call it a “maintenance” suspension lol.

 

[danpantz]

April 8th is when both teams play again.

Mark your calendars

To be clear, I recognize that a lot of you don't necessarily like what the scumbag does. But then you read this thread.

Messier at least was one of the greatest players in the history of the game, but he could also be a real piece of shit. Gordie Howe was the same way. The hope though is that the league has moved past that though

 

[TheHelmet]

I thourghly enjoyed reading through Part 1 of this thread from a capitals fan perspective.

So's golf.

 

[Il Stugotz]

7 games is a slap on the wrist and not enough to change him. I thought they learned with Torres, and this is a regression.
