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

According to the caps board we’re all soft hockey fans!

 

[illpucks]

anyone who thinks this is too many games, I say wait and see the results of Mark Pavelich's brain examination

It's confirmed they will check it for chronic traumatic encephalopathy

These repeated head shots are no joke, ruining someone's career is nothing compared to what happens to some players

What Wilson did is not comparable to

and that guy is in the HHOF

 

[Chardo]

How many suspensions before they throw him out of the league? 6? 8? 10?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

It's not that bad of a hit but at this point Wilson doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. High hits have been taken out of the game, and rightly so.

Man Tom Wilson has really driven you people insane. Log off already, give it a rest

Envy is a strong emotion.

 

[illpucks]

This is a reputation suspension as much as the league should protect....if his name was Nick Backstrom he would get 2 games tops.

 

[danpantz]

I’m confused. Was the suspension for boarding?

yes.

 

[Legionnaire11]

So 7 in shortened season probably 13-15 normal season that's still 25% games that's a message

It's equal to 10 games in an 82 game season, or 12% of a season.

What utter garbage.

It was a marginal hit. He drove through the body to the head. It's a borderline roughing call.

Deeply unimpressed with the whiney Bruins org. and soy boy new NHL.

It honestly makes me sad that the Capitals won a cup when I realize that Wilson won that cup too and Capitals fans got to celebrate it.

I wish Ovi would have won a cup somewhere else. He totally deserved it, but I really wish it didn't happen on Washington with Wilson on his team.

 

[sethro109]

Should've been more games. I hope Carlo is able to recover alright.

I like how it's literally only Caps fans who defend the hit as being clean. Literally no one else is defending it as clean. Just Caps fans.

But yes, it was just a "marginal hit", despite the DoPS giving him a 7 game suspension.

 

[illpucks]

Player Safety is reputation based...remember this got no fine nor discipline, if that's Wilson that's 5+ games.

Why? Wilson wouldn't make the top 5 dirtiest Penguins of the Crosby era. Does a rival team having a physical player really drive Pens fans so nuts?

Good memories tho

 

[Ryan52]

no way an independent arbitrator holds up this suspension at this length. pesce slew foot gets none, ovie nutshot gets none, this hit is worth 7? yeah right

Imagine seriously believing this nonsense. The only player that's even in the same stratosphere as Wilson is Cooke.

But you're doing a great job at supporting my point. You Capitals fans didn't deserve to have a cup winner, and I'm genuinely sad Ovi had to win it with your fanbase with Wilson on his team.

 

[Il Stugotz]

The funniest part about the appeal process is that it takes so long he’ll already have served his suspension by the ruling. All he’d get back is the money but still miss 7 games.

Wilson would get laughed out of the room if he tried to take this up to an independent arbitrator.

 

[DearDiary]

7 games it is.

Cry more lol. I'll also pretend to be upset that Crosby had to share a cup with Matt Cooke, Patrick Hornqvist, Evgeni Malkin and a whole pile of trash that's been injuring players with impunity for a decade.

Imagine seriously thinking that Evgeni Malkin is even on the same planet in terms of "dirtiness" as Tom Wilson.

Well, if you're an insane Capitals homer, I guess I can get it.

 

[Kuznetsnow]

IQ matches favorite player.

Good when that happens.

lol
lol

I thought you said you hated Wilson.

Also given that the only thought you seem to be capable of expressing is WILSON BAD HURT WILSON 43 might be a little generous

 

[Chardo]

What's his defense? All my previous suspensions were different?

Yeah his slewfoots have much more angelic intent than shoulder to shoulder bodychecks.

If he wasn't made of glass and didn't injure himself on half of his dirty hits his trail of bodies would dwarf anyone else

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

yes.

It will be interesting to see how this ruling is used moving forward. Eller was boarded from behind and had a concussion and missed some games. No suspension.

Trent Frederic made him do it
