Ongoing NHL Thread Part V minutes for fighting

While I'm sure that it would get Anthony Stewart's britches all bunched up I think that the message sent if you do that is that you're still not actually serious.

What I said before (you don't play until 2022) should be the floor here. It ain't like it was when Bertuzzi did what he did.

Oh I agree, but the NHL never fails to disappoint.

Holy hair pulling Batman (and I cringe at Panarin's head hitting the ice) - Second video in slo-motion.

Looks like embellishment to me, even 'em up and let's get this puck dropped

Oh I know, I get that you were kinda method acting the Parros role.

I bet you keep up that Princeton degree you stenciled even when you're yourself though.

Well, this time he injured a star player in arguably the NHL's biggest market and Bettman's home town. I have a feeling Parros will be getting a call from the commissioner.

Stache Phone, available now on his website

And charge him with aggravated assault.

Like McSorley.

Exactly they kept letting Cooke get off the hook. He was always going to change and never did.

And in the same mold Cooke and Wilson both produced for their teams in the playoffs so they never had a compelling reason to stop doing what they do.

Um, not sure who runs the Capitals twitter account, but wow...

If you want to really send a message, you give Wilson the Bertuzzi treatment as in suspending him for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs.

I want to see all of his teeth cross checked out first. Then your suggestion.

I agree with Jeff...

Looks like they removed it. Smart move.

EDIT: Oops didn't see the other posts. Yeah Jeff is right.

For the folks that missed the tweet....

How is Wilson still in the game?

A question as relevant today as it was five years ago.

Nowhere near long enough. As mentioned by others we're in Bertuzzi/McSorely territory. Have been for a while, actually.

Well, this time he injured a star player in arguably the NHL's biggest market and Bettman's home town. I have a feeling Parros will be getting a call from the commissioner.

If that's what does it, then yay. I mean Capone went down for tax evasion and OJ for stealing football jerseys. Whatever finally does it is good.

But fuck if I wouldn't be suing the league if I was any of the other guys whose careers were never the same after meeting him. ZAR, Wennberg, etc. "What? We're not famous enough to have our assaults be punished?"

And with that, discipline has moved from just a player to an entire franchise.

Fucking classless. Firing a social media intern won't be enough.

@wings-pens2166 if you just happen to notice a Pittsburgh team giving up 7 tonight....it wasn't the Pirates.

But there's a code.....

This won’t go over well because I like Tommy but I gotta call it like I see it. You’re all longtime hockey guys that have seen so much worse than that. Guys get punched and cross checked on the ice all the time do they not? Show me any player that gets “jumped” on from behind and is going to do nothing. It wasn’t even in the same league as Bertuzzi as someone alluded to earlier not even close. I’ve seen 2 elbows to unsuspecting players heads by McDavid in the past 2-3 weeks and nary a word to be heard but if 43 had done it he should be in prison. Wilson has an earned rep for sure and has had suspension worthy hits but some of his hits he’s been suspended for weren’t any worse than I’ve seen in the past by countless people. Just last week Martin charged and boarded Dowd blatantly with his head hitting the boards but no blood and he got up so it’s all good. Nothing was gonna be called until Big Z said oh hell no and made Martin turtle.

if Wilson did a Claude Lemieux on Draper type hit I would not defend it as IMO that was the worse thing I’ve seen but the pile on Wilson for every hit the guy makes is ridiculous

Not yet anyway.


no, fortunately I missed this one too. Take 3 of 4 from Boston and Washington only to get your ass handed to you by Philly. indeed.
