At least he went home for the summer. I was rooting for the Bruins. The Caps are an easier matchup for the Pens (assuming we get past the Isles), but I fully expected Wilson to ruin someone’s playoffs with a cheap hit if he got past this round. Now I just have to worry about hockey plays, not expected head shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted May 24, 2021 Share #8 Posted May 24, 2021 Connor McJesus and his Oilers facing elimination tomorrow, blowing a 4-1 third period lead to lose 5-4 in OT. Winnipeg leads series 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted May 24, 2021 Share #10 Posted May 24, 2021 Pretty sure you aren’t talking about my great, great grandfather and I’m pretty sure Biff Tannen is too old to play hockey. I’m lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTE (and former fighter’s suicides) have curtailed it a lot. Not eliminated, and hits to the head still happen, but it’s down, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sooooooo boring now Honestly, the league has to make a choice between NO fights, NO illegal checking, NO specific dangerous action (aka zero tolerance) or maybe embrace a MMA "give folks what they want" model.

It's not that I don't care It's I don't follow a lot of sports on or really watch a lot of TV general. When watching the local news and the sports part of the news comes on I stop paying attention or turn the channel. I very seldom watch the Green Bay channels because everything is Aaron Rogers. If Aaron Rogers farts it makes the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem all the collision sports have, athletes have gotten bigger, stronger & faster over the last 20 years and there is only so much protection PPE can offer, a 1' thick crumple zone can only dissipate so much energy/deceleration.

Yup As of March 6, no player in the NHL has been penalized more since Wilson entered the league in 2013. Of his 333 penalties (regular-season only) during that span, more than 20 percent have been majors (72). They add up to 1,052 minutes, including 16 misconducts and two match penalties. Only three other players (Antoine Roussel, Cody McLeod and Evander Kane) have more than 700 penalty minutes. Again, these figures don't even include his postseason misbehavior.

I derive extreme pleasure from the Caps, Caps fans, and the local sports Caps frenzy - but really only when the lose spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, he is just an old school player. When Wilson is on the ice, the game is going to get rockin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
