Gnarcore Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 You reap what you sow Wilson. Don't care for either but Wilson has this coming if you believe in karma. I don't but don't care a single iota about Wilson being on the receiving end of a late hit that didn't target the head and wouldn't call an intent to injure. On the double take out shift the first was an awesome hit....the 2nd Wilson engages that contact. Don't like kicking out the legs in close to slewfoot maneuver... Huge props to Ovechkin who goes right at Reaves after the hit on Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hmmm. Was the puck anywhere near that play? I didn't see it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's a late hit. Wilson deserved it but still should be a suspension for Reeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody (well a select few) won't do anything about it because he is an excellent fighter, not because of his stature. Reaves was never a full out true goon. He didn't even start racking up the PIM's and fights till his 2nd year in the AHL when he realized that was the only way he would make and stick in the show. I'd really love to see Reaves and Lucic have a go. Obviously my money is on Reaves, but I'd still like to see it happen. Reaves would destroy Lucic, and it wouldn't be close.

Rush17 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Reaves is like a super hero. Taking down the league's head hunting villian. I hope it happens all over again next game lol.

I don't classify that as a fight. The most dominating loss Lucic took in a toe to toe fight was against Erksine and Orr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he probably makes more in a month than Reeves does in a year.... and I do in a lifetime I'd love to have either on the Canucks, especially a guy like Reeves and his caphit compared to Dr. Schaller.

Shekky Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Quote The crowd of those weary with worry about Tom Wilson‘s antics seems to grow by the week. Following in the footsteps of the Matt Cookes and the Raffi Torreses that came before him, the Capitals’ big-bodied winger has claimed the crown as the most polarizing figure in the NHL, his slew of reckless displays of physicality complementing a genuine skill-set that helped put a championship ring on Alex Ovechkin’s finger last June. Tuesday night in Vegas, Wilson wound up on the other side of the drama, though, as the Golden Knights saw their own resident 225-pounder take Wilson out of the game with a blindside hit late in the second period — resulting in an injury to the Capitals’ winger and an ejection for Vegas’s Ryan Reaves. Asked post-game about how it all went down, Reaves said it was simply par for the course given the two clubs’ history. “That was a man’s game out there,” Reaves told reporters following Vegas’s 5-3 win. “It kind of felt like Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final last year, you know, two teams that obviously carried some [bad] blood into it from last year.” And on the play in question? “I thought he was just looking at his pass and… ran into a lion in the jungle.” The Golden Knights winger made clear he didn’t see the error in his decision, saying he didn’t believe the hit was worth the game misconduct he was handed. “I thought he was just looking at his pass — I thought he actually saw me, he looked like he took a peak,” he said. “You know, if he sees me, I know he’s going to try to lay me out and I’m not going to let that happen. I thought it was shoulder to shoulder and I didn’t think it was that late.” It appears Wilson’s injury following the hit played a role in Reaves being tossed from the game, according to what the latter was told by an on-ice official. “He just said that because he was hurt, it was an automatic ejection,” Reaves said. “I’ve never heard of that rule before, but I’m not a ref.” Wilson has drawn the ire of plenty an NHL fan over the past couple years, particularly over the past 15 months, during which he’s had multiple run-ins with the department of player safety. His latest, a questionable hit on New Jersey’s Brett Seney on Nov. 30, earned Wilson a match penalty but no suspension. However, that came after he served a 14-game suspension (reduced after appeal) for an illegal check to the head of Oskar Sundqvist on Sept. 30. George Parros, head of the league’s department of player safety, checked in with Wilson in June and August to discuss questionable post-season hits by Wilson on Jonathan Marchessault, Alexander Wennberg and Brian Dumoulin. He earned a three-game suspension during those same playoffs for a hit on Zach Aston-Reese. Wilson also earned two suspensions in 2017 (two pre-season games and, later, four regular season games) for dangerous hits on Robert Thomas and Samuel Blais. Reaves has a suspension on his resumé himself, having been banned for three games in 2016 for boarding Matt Tennyson. The Winnipeg, Man., native reportedly won’t receive any supplemental discipline for his latest hit on Wilson though, according to the Washington Post‘s Isabelle Khurshudyan. best quote of the year I'd have to say lol Quote ran into a lion in the jungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo0921 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A late hit is a late hit. A defenceless player is a defenceless player. It doesn't matter whose name is on the jersey, it was a late check on a vulnerable player. This department of players safety his and always has been a joke. The department for stars safety is a more accurate title. We all know that if that was McPuke, Crosby, Matthews, Pettersson, or Eichel lying there, Reeves would've been crucified for the hit. I'm not saying Wilson didn't deserve to take a little of his own medicine but keep it consistent. Who deserved retribution and who didn't should have nothing to do with it.
