It's like the people who got mad at Ovechkin for pummeling that Canes rookie in the playoffs a couple years back. Don't get in a fight with Alex MF Ovechkin if you don't want your jaw broken. |

Re: The NHL Thread
The NHL has been trying to weed this shit out - to the point where there's only 2/3 giants left in the game, and one of them is fucking bonkers on top of being a giant. Now you have teams that have been naturally purging themselves of knuckledraggers, and nobody can do anything about this braindead gorilla. And thus, Godzilla continues to have his way with Tokyo.

Funny, for those who play the “this happens in hockey all the time” card, scrums in front of the net happen numerous times per night per game. But no one gets punched in the back of the head when face down on the ice. Wilson must have the worse luck on the planet to keep finding himself in these situations. :rolleyes |

And I agree they've made it easier for remaining goons, through two manners - the lack of punishing them, and the lack of goons on other teams that are around to do anything about it. Which is why I suggest the nuclear option being...your superstar isn't off limits - Backstrom should have taken a shot last night. |

What doesn't happen dozens of times? Punching someone in the back of the head or throwing someone who is a lot smaller than you and not a goon to the ice when they don't have a helmet on. |

"It is terribly unfair to question George Parros' professionalism and dedication to his role and the Department of Public Safety"
No its not? Its called accountability? |
Re: The NHL Thread
The NHLPA isn't without blame. Wilson is the Caps' team rep. How can you expect reasonable labor agreements regarding punishment to take place, which the DoPS has to abide by, when players like Wilson are at the negotiating table? Not taking away from Parros' ineptitude, but the entire situation is a fucking farce.
What are players supposed to do when he decides to rampage on someone? If you don't step in, he's gonna likely beat the shit out of your teammate because he's huge and one of the best fighters in the league. If you step in to help and Wilson takes offense, you're possibly going to get hurt AND the league still won't punish Wilson. It's a lose/lose. You either let Wilson roam free or you find someone to roster that's comparable to his skill set, which is nearly impossible. If teams truly want the shitbag out of hockey, they have to go after the guy until the league says enough is enough. Or they refuse to step on the ice. Or fans stop watching. Until one of those happens (or he paralyzes someone), nothing will change. |

I really don't want Tom Wilson out of hockey - I want him to not act like a fucking monkey and stop trying to hurt people. That being said, I think I'm at the point now where I don't know if that's actually possible. |

Re: The NHL Thread
I don’t know if there’s a general sentiment among all/most players, NHL employees, DoPS, etc of “let’s just police ourselves” or the NHLPA reps are mostly goons and ruining it for everyone, but the lack of outcry from players about this makes me think it’s the former. Even when guys like Sundqvist have gotten their brains scrambled by Wilson, their public comments are always sheepish shit like “I hope it wasn’t intentional” or “Hopefully he’ll learn his lesson”. Like are all of you just too scared/stupid to know you have the power to change this yourselves? If you’re not constantly running opponents (which 99% of the league isn’t doing) you don’t have to worry about ever having to deal with punishments for this shit. I don’t get it.

Re: The NHL Thread
The thing is nobody would have cared at all if Wilson got suspended for a game or 2 literally.:lol
What a fuck up. |

Nah the same thing would have happened the first time they played each other next season. Wouldn’t have happened in the postseason, though. |
