Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

One game for every time he's done it and gotten away with it?

Also worth noting the following:

Spoiler

He’ll forfeit $1,260,162 in salary for this suspension.

If only the Caps didn't get relief. Teams should have suspended player salaries count.

Holy shit. In the video they state that this is his 4th suspension in the last 105 games. One calendar year.

And you can argue that there are at least two more times last playoffs he should have been suspended.

 

[DragonfromTO]

He is probably stunned.

I bet he didn't see this coming.

Totally blindsided

Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke were both seen nodding approvingly.

A bunch of his hits have been totally legal hits, but this will be good for Wilson.

Hopefully the lesson finally gets learned.

Gritty is excited about the news...

See, taking his suspensions into account, the Caps paid him exactly what he's worth.

Totally agree with that. Caps are fully up against the salary cap though, so unlikely that $1.2 million will make much difference this season.

Wilson just made a generous donation to the players' emergency assistance fund.

Might be the greatest moment in Thrashers history.

Yeah, that's stupid. If you sign a guy with a history of suspensions, you take on that risk.

 

[tducey]

20 games for Wilson? Knew he'd get suspended but that seems excessive even for Wilson.

was suspended 3 times last season i think (including one in the playoffs)
this has to be a big number.

thought you could read?

Eliason Pettersson is for real. Unreal.

False. The Rangers and Flyers will both play 82 games.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Well we're off. We tuned in to watch them raise the banner, we didn't sign up for the pre-game that showed them sewing the damned thing. Hell I'm a lifelong Caps fans and that was too much for even me. But seeing the Cup again and watching the banner, a REAL banner not this Patrick Division Champ shit, was awesome. Then they score 20 seconds in , then again and again. So cool that after all these years my team sits atop the hockey world.

Oh yeah, I have not spoken to one Caps fan who thinks the Wilson suspension was excessive. WTF is wrong with that guy?
