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. Exactly.

Hairy Kneel Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wilson deserved it. Cheapass punk. Shoulder to shoulder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like us to have both Reaves and Wilson. Play them with EP 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJVD Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That hit was shoulder to shoulder, in Wilson's direction of travel. The only reason it was "blind-side" is because Wilson was watching his pass, that's not on Reaves. It was late though, should have been an interference minor, nothing more.

Nucker 67 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 So, did Reaves' blindside hit on Wilson happen before of after his blindside hit on Edler? What a douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a douche. After. The guy is a dirty player, but somehow is exonerated because he's really tough. If the players were switched, or even Edler hit Reaves from behind, there would most likely be a suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way he gets what's coming to him (suspensions) is if he takes out Nylander, Matthews, Tavares or Marner. 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 looks and is built like a fridge. There are very few people who could take him on in a fight or even lay him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucic locked up under the chin, while Orr got hold of Lucic’s Shoulder. Those few inches make a big difference. Lock those two up evenly, and Lucic knocks out Orr.

The way I saw it on the “wide” /end zone coverage by the camera,. Wilson see’s Reaves coming out of the corner before he touches the puck.. he touch passes the puck and spins around continueing into Reaves path to cause the interference on Reaves.. Wilson knew what he himself was doing. Reaves drops his shoulder and keeps his path to protect himself. For not one second do I think Wilson is innocent in this.

Tom Wilson is back in the picture as he gets body checked by a much bigger player in Reaves and then gets a blindside hit later in the game. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/golden-knights-ryan-reaves-ejected-blindside-hit-capitals-tom-wilson/ Haha. I wish we coulda got Reaves last summer. Wilson can go eff himself as far as I am concerned. That moron is too stupid to control himself and hopefully gets banned from the NHL completely for his intent to injure hits. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
