True enough. Too early to say for sure, but certainly looks like the Pacific might have only three playoff teams.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
If I had to pick the top three teams in division now, it's San Jose, Vegas and Calgary and I'd have a hard time making a case for anyone else. If Anaheim didn't have Gibson they'd already be done probably. (I could probably make a stronger case for Edmonton than Anaheim at this point.)degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 5:55 pmAs long as it's not Edmonton.

I think I’m overly sensitive because of Michael Sauer but this shit just sends me into an internal rage. Just so fucking unnecessary.

Fucking Wilson again?

He should be done for the rest of the season.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
I can’t even see a good argument for not either looking to end his career or targeting a different Cap. He’s proven he can’t safely be on the ice.
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
(Morally, of course I see why it wouldn’t be good to take out Kuznetsov, that’s an opponent versus team debate. I honestly think you can argue greater good if literally any player in the league chooses to run Wilson.)

Hopefully Wilson appeals so he can be on the ice with Ryan Reeves on Tuesday.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
If it wasn't Wilson you would not have had a foul (maybe interference). Other angles show it as way less than that angle. Avoidable yeah probably. Does Wilson deserve the refs attention, sure. But that angle makes it look worse than it was. Announcers from both sides and coaches from both sides knew it was a bit much to give him a 5 minute major and game misconduct last night.....oh and he did put another in the net last night.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
That's bullshit. You are just defending him because he plays for your team. He had plenty of time to avoid the blindside head shot, and he chose not to do so. He deserves a long suspension.wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 2:18 pm If it wasn't Wilson you would not have had a foul (maybe interference). Other angles show it as way less than that angle.

He did not hit him in the head. Even Hynes said as much in the post game presser.

Hell even Crosby is not jumping on this one.May wrote:It shouldn't have even been a minor penalty," May said. "This is incidental contact. It's a player skating backwards, and Tom Wilson trying to play a defensive role. He's not even trying to hit him. The referee looks out of the corner of his eye and sees No. 43. A two-minute penalty, let alone a five-minute penalty, I think it's disgusting. The Capitals should be upset as an organization."

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Even if he missed his head it was pretty obvious that he was going for it. And the hit was way late to start.

Aw fuck.
A Bertuzzi sucker punches an Av and you say that? You guys have gotten complacent. Soft.
I'm placing us on Orange Alert. We've blown past Sheehan/Blount levels here you guys. Someone check in on TB, and if you see something, say something.

Flames have scored 5 goals in a period 4 times. The rest of the Nhl - 3 times.

Shoulder to shoulder, baby.
Bandwagon fan of the 2023 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Yeah that was shoulder to shoulder and Wilson was not that far from playing the puck. Only difference is Reaves got big for the hit compared to Wilson a few nights ago. Reeves was going for him all night. He popped him earlier in the game pretty good too. Although the hit of the night was Ovie on Nosek.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
If Wilson doesn't like getting everyone's best shot he shouldn't be hitting people in the head every few games. Problem solved. I imagine even Reaves would be happy to hold up on hitting straight through the guy if he wasn't such a dirty POS.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
No additional discipline for Reaves. Shouldn't have even got a match penalty probably, but whatevs.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
I mean ... it absolutely should be a game and a suspension because there's no intent but to injure, but I'm fine with this. And if someone else does it to Wilson next week, I'm fine with it again.
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
NHL is the one setting the precedent for this garbage though by not suspending Wilson for the hit on Seney. Once you can justify bullshit hits like that on specious terms like "well, it was just shoulder to shoulder, so..." then it's up to the players to police the game, which is fucking stupid, but here we are.
Bandwagon fan of the 2023 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Oh, totally agree then. It should be a suspension but the NHL knows it would look ridiculous actually suspending him.
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Great responses by Reaves... variety pack chicken?
