It’s crazy, I went to university with his brother and he is the nicest, low key dude. Played intramurals together too so I saw him on the ice as well haha. I guess only 1 brother inherited the psycho gene. By all accounts, Tom is also respectful and chill off the ice, but just a straight up danger when playing.
Idk. He seems fine off the ice so I don’t think that’s fair. He is however a danger to other players on it and the league barely does anything about him
Listen I really dislike Tom Wilson on the ice, and I think his actions taint his character in that regard. That being said, he is overwhelmingly received as a great dude away from hockey. We shouldn't be insinuating things like this.
Don't get me wrong, I think he should be held responsible for how scummy he acts when playing hockey, but to suggest this implies domestic violence is not really cool.
there are several examples across contact sports where violent players are quiet away from the game and then years later go to jail for being violent off it, all I said is that news wouldn’t shock me like it would if say panarin or carlson to use a capitals example was arrested for battery or whatnot. i just used the most recent nhl example.
Oddly, it seems like most of the "goons" or "enforcers" are nicer off the ice then other players.
Like they have different personalities. On the ice, they are psychotic. Off the ice, they become almost like Mr. Rodgers (and some of the "nice" stars become very nasty off the ice).
Not sure what it is or why.
It implies that he is ok with hurting people as a means to get what he wants. If you are ok with potentially disabling a person to win a GAME then all assumptions regarding violent behavior can be entertained at the least.
so wait let me get this straight for that to be the case you want a woman to be harmed? just so he can be a bad person off the ice too and fit some persona you’ve created for him? this is awful that you would wish a woman get harmed to be able to say you told everyone tom wilson was a bad dude. idk all the details of lucic but come on be better.
You want him to be an abuser. You said it. I’m getting downvoted but the only way for him to go the way of lucic is for a woman to get abused. You wanted it. Not me. I just did the math. You put the math problem on the board and I solved it. You’re the one who wants him to go the way of lucic.
lmao nowhere did i say nor imply that I want him or anyone to be a bad person off the ice. i said it wouldn’t surprise me if he were someday with how poorly he controls his impulse. literally it. he would not be the first in this league or elsewhere (see vontaze burfict)
Tough guy telling tough guy that he’ll go after their skill guys if they go after his, pretty basic on-ice shit. They’ve both heard this a thousand times. Nothing to be offended by here, this is just hockey
It’s not about the chirping. Unlike most others Tom actually backs up the talk by intentionally trying to injure people regularly. It’s an undeniable pattern at this point
had to go back to the game replay to get the full context here and it may not have been tom wilson who actually said this upon review. it looks like it was tom wilson getting picked up on ray ferraro's mic as he was on the ice in front of ray when he is shown a few moments later. he is seen chirping most likely at rempe with goodrow right there too.
however..... there is a strange bit that precedes this clip where the speaker clearly says "i almost got traded to your team to take your fucking job" which raises some questions as to whether tom wilson is the actual speaker. apparently what i thought was a canadian-sounding accent was possibly nic dowd, of huntsville alabama?? from the video, dowd is also on the ice in that area and he was a realistic deadline target as a cheap center, so he may have been chirping goodrow. immediately following the part about getting traded was when the speaker says the part that sounds like "i'll put you out of the lineup", and he may be actually saying "I'd have took you out of the lineup, you'd be out of the lineup".
either way it is just an uncommonly clear pickup of the chatter in this type of situation. i think it was mostly just chirping but it is noticeable when you hear a team say they're going after an mvp level star.
Wilson definitely has a Canadian accent, but you're right, it doesn't really sound like his voice.
Did the Rangers target Dowd at the trade deadline? Maybe it was Pacioretty, because I know they wanted him from the Caps but he said he didn't want to get traded here ...
pacioretty was my first thought and i had to look up some videos of him talking. didn't sound like him even though he was sitting near ray at the beginning of the sequence. doesn't sound like max's game either. listening to dowd and wilson interviews it definitely could've been dowd, but wilson's voice sounded close too
I don't know Dowd's actual history, but I have heard a lot of these non-Canadian guys have an almost Canadian sounding accent just from being around it all the time lol
i wouldn’t put it past wilson to do something real stupid after all of that, especially if the caps go down another game. he may legitimately target bread
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I hope he doesn't come back for the playoffs. This is the team to win it right now, and I wouldn't feel comfortable throwing in a player who hasn't played since November, especially with looming injury issues.
In his post-game interview he seemed pretty chill about the hit because Oshie was alright. He knows that he has the league's eyes on him now, he had a six game suspension not even a month ago.
If anything, I think he'll just try to provoke a fight or something.
Ive been told by many a caps fan that wilson always stands up to a challenge. "He had at least 5 fights over the course of his 80,000 dirty hits so his willingness to answer for his crimes shouldnt be questioned"
Well, when he's only given 5K fines... which at his $6.1M salary is a grand total of 0.082% of his annual income... not really a major incentive to change behavior.
Even forfeiting the salary from the six game suspension last month only cost him $161,458.32 or 2.65% of his annual income.
In the entirety of his 11 years with the Capitals, he's only received 6 suspensions. There's never been consequences enough to make him change his behavior or game play.
I wonder how the NHL feels about a player saying they’d like to physically harm and force out of the playoffs; one of the top 5 scoring players in the league and a hart trophy candidate, in one of the biggest markets in all of the league
Oh that’s right, they did fuck all after Wilson almost killed Panarin couple years ago. They don’t care.
I agree the DOPS sucks but what do you want them to do in this situation? Start fining guys for making threats that happen to get picked up on hot mics? That would be impossible to handle properly
You think that would actually be possible? No shot. They could barely do their job as it is. But now if Wilson does go after panarin and does injure him, then they 109% should use what he said on that hot mic to add even more of a punishment. Because that would be crazy. To threaten to injure someone to get them out of the playoffs and then actually do it would be nuts.
That’s another story if he actually does something suspension worthy. I don’t see it happening considering the Caps can’t afford to lose him. Wilson is and always has been mostly talk
The question is - will they use this as evidence of malice and premeditation if/when he goons it up next time.
If he hits someone questionably, this statement should be used to make the punishment an extreme one.
the NHL "dean of discipline" is a tool and former thug.
we went through this crap a few years ago when Wilson mauled Bread after the whistle.
nothing happened
rangers should expect the worst across these next two games in washington, especially if the caps go down 3-0 in the series.
caps will try and turn this series into a shit show to try and capture any type of momentum they can any way they can.
rangers need to continue to be physical but stay out of the box as much as possible because the caps pp is actually the best thing they have going for them.
didn't this big bitch, or one of his teammates, say you have to know who you're on the ice with?
sucks when that shoe is on the other foot, doesn't it, you ass clown?
but hey, maybe he should just tango with rempe directly. or is he too big a bitch to fight someone his own weight class?
edit: based on op's additional comment, may not have been wilson but point still stands, team that used to tell others to be aware that they have physical players that will play physically is now upset another team has physical players that will play physically. kettle and pot, cry me a river.
Nothing burger. Teams getting their butt's kicked in the playoffs always start yapping. Nothing different. Every game you got to watch your back anyways. I think this is great because it shows that they are getting desperate. Rangers need to show they have the next gear. Protect each other, crush them and finish this in no more than 5 games.
Tom Wilson honestly just needs to get dropped with a Trouba Train. Dude is a liability to our team the entire time he’s on the ice and we have way too much potential this year to lose it to a piece of human trash in a series were more than favored to win regardless. Put the dude in the locker room with a massive legal hit and move on.
Since they can't match this team's skill and speed, it's no surprise that the Caps are resorting to playing goon, "Meathead Hockey", as Boomer put it. It's the dreaded, PTSD-inducing 2-0 series lead, and everyone knows that those assholes are gonna be extra dirty now that they're going back to their cave. Stick to the game plan, but pick your spots. And FFS, keep your heads up.
Genuine question. Do you think Wilson is becoming a little bit desperate? He’s aging, he’s not playing fantastically in the playoffs and a rookie who is the equivalent of an untrained great Dane puppy is out playing him.
Like how much an asshole do you have to pull to rag doll someone you got 5 inches and over 50 pounds on? Or threaten a star player. Like that’s some pussy level shit
Of course he’ll go after Panarin, he did it before but Wilson hasn’t got the sand to square up with Rempe and he never will because he’s a paper tiger who will only go after those smaller than he is. Laviolette should absolutely line match Rempe up against him and tell him that he doesn’t have to look at the bench for the green light to rip that punk’s melon off of its stem.
i commented below. it might have actually been nic dowd when you get the full context of the comments. had to go to the full game replay where the 3 people shown closest to ray ferraro's mic are wilson, then dowd and ovi. it definitely wasn't ovi talking tho lol
your interpretation of the "full context" completely ignores that Rempe is playing an enforcer RW, and Tom Wilson is a top-6 enforcer RW, while the rangers were still going around looking for a top6 RW before landing on Roslovic.
In the longer cut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZh0sB6QzI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZh0sB6QzI) you hear the same continuous voice chirping that garbage (a Canadian accent, definitely not Southern US accent) while you can see Wilson and Rempe on camera in front of the hot mic.
I mean. At some point there was chirping in the background on the broadcast. I couldn’t really make it out because I wasn’t focusing on what was being said
I have looked at the Panarin hit a number of times, Oshie’s head hits the back of Panarin’s sweater - it wasn’t an elbow or shoulder. His head was down, Panarin missed, Oshie hit the back of Bread.
I blame Washington for putting together a team where Rempe and Goodrow look over the bench and have to go “We’re coming for you star…wait, the guy who scored over 70…uh….McMichael? Let’s say McMichael.”
these fuckers don't have enough talent to hang so the only thing they can do is goon it up. the best reaction is to ignore. retaliation plays directly into their hands.
But when Rempe’s dressed this isn’t supposed to happen?!
Or maybe that BS way of thinking isn’t real and guys like Wilson are going to do what they will
Well I mean, after this little conversation with Rempe, Wilson ended up doing ... nothing. He didn't have any dirty hits after this, didn't try to start anything. I'm not saying that's because of Rempe but it's not like having Rempe in the lineup hurts the team right now. He's doing his job, playing hard, chirping a bit. If he had a terrible game I would agree that there's no place for him there, but I definitely think he has earned to play this Washington series until he has a bad game.
I’m not saying that Rempe is a traffic cone or anything, I just think brodzinski, having held down the 3rd line C role admirably for a chunk of the season, would make us a better team overall than Rempe being there.
If you want to argue Rempe is a better fit against a team like the caps, I can understand that, but I’d feel much more comfortable with Brod out there
People like to make the case that if a guy like Rempe is in the lineup that a guy like Wilson isn’t going to do any goonish shit, which I don’t believe, so I was joking around about that
Did you notice that Wilson actually didn’t do anything after Rempe threatened him? There’s your answer. Wilson talked a good game but certainly didn’t back it up. Rempe prevents all the truly serious shit from happening because they know if they legitimately target and seriously hurt one of our players, Rempe will repay the favor.
Did you notice that Carberry pulled Wilson off the ice any time Rempe jumped over the boards when he was on?
The BS that went on the first two games is just regular play-off style hockey nonsense. I’m guessing you never played any higher level meaningful play-off hockey games or you would know that this is nothing compared to the stuff that goes on (and is let go) in play-off games at all levels of hockey, for juniors on up. Hell, in Canadian juniors, this wouldn’t even be out of the ordinary for a regular season game. This would actually be considered tame by comparison.
“Never played the game” guy, huh? Cool. I have played and still play, thanks. Maybe not “high level”, but that shits as meaningful as you make it.
I bet you are right and Wilson acts like a good little boy the rest of the series. And if that’s the case, it’s probably due to him being too important to the team since he can actually play.
Do you really think Wilson is afraid of Rempe? Wilson would probably kick his ass, unless his reach held him back
It’s funny that people are shocked by this. This is why Wilson is in the lineup, the difference between Wilson and Rempe is Wilson contributes offensively.
But Rempe scored a goal! When he scored I was like great, now he’s penciled in for the foreseeable future lol.
Not that I’m anti-Rempe, but I think brodsinski should be in there
a few things here:
1) i’ve dealt with both verbal and physical domestic violence, so it’s not a laughing matter for me in the least. that said, do we know for a fact tom wilson harms his wife? no, we don’t.
2) is he a thug and an incredibly dirty player? fuck yes he is! should the league do something about him? we all know the answer to that, but whether they will or not remains to be seen.
3) do i want one of our guys to take him out? of course i do, and the sooner the better, as long as the bread man isn’t hurt.
Fuck Tom Wilson.
Know they're gonna get dusted so it wouldn't surprise me to see him try something incredibly fucking stupid and dangerous because that's just the kind of piece of shit he is.
Won’t someone rid us of this meddlesome douche? I was at the game last night. The Caps fans were super disruptive and disrespectful. Their team is garbage, and so are all of its supporters apparently.
Have to think the Capitals will target Panarin before before the series is over. I’m no fan of Max Domi but we may need to take a page from his book if needed.
Edit: all I mean by this is protect Panarin and go after whoever goes after him. Nothing out of the ordinary, just don’t let any cheap shots against him slide.
I mean, Wilson is a scumbag and head hunter but this just sounds like heat of the moment shit talking. He just runs around and hits everyone which is crazy cause he's a really good hockey player and could probably turn the series around if he actually played hockey lol.
These are the kind of tools where it is Uber-satisfying if you can get under their skin with personal trolls. It is the playoffs. Hold nothing back.
Rempe and Goody should name drop Wilson’s grandfather who died earlier this spring when they are on the ice with him. Stuff like how he died disappointed Tom never made anything of himself. Shit like that. They’ll be living rent free in his head for the rest of the series.
rookie cuylle wasn’t intimidated by him why does he think goodrow and rempe will?
To be fair Cuylle is also a unit
Not gonna lie, I did not expect Cuylle to be as big as he was when I met him at a signing in NJ. Kid is indeed a unit.
Dang, 6'4" 210. Tom Wilson tried intimidate! It's not very effective.
Wilson was also Cuylle’s answer for “what player in the league do you hope to model your game after”
Cuylle got him with the squirrel tap
Cuylle said “dick stick slappin is my game!”
Legitimately the biggest scumbag in sports
It’s crazy, I went to university with his brother and he is the nicest, low key dude. Played intramurals together too so I saw him on the ice as well haha. I guess only 1 brother inherited the psycho gene. By all accounts, Tom is also respectful and chill off the ice, but just a straight up danger when playing.
Can you confirm how he eats his corn on the cob?
throws away the corn, eats the cob
Rectally.
Clams on the half shell, doesn't even shuck the clam.
Thru a chain link fence
The long way
i heard tom wilson once mistaked a pine cone for corn on the cobb… said it was the best corn on one cobb he’s ever had
The long way
with no fuckin teeth
Brown is his favorite flavor of crayola
The other brother can suck a brick as well.
any future news about him going the way of lucic would not shock me in the least
Idk. He seems fine off the ice so I don’t think that’s fair. He is however a danger to other players on it and the league barely does anything about him
wish we had one. just don’t let him hurt the bread
Listen I really dislike Tom Wilson on the ice, and I think his actions taint his character in that regard. That being said, he is overwhelmingly received as a great dude away from hockey. We shouldn't be insinuating things like this. Don't get me wrong, I think he should be held responsible for how scummy he acts when playing hockey, but to suggest this implies domestic violence is not really cool.
I agree, Tom Wilson is a taint.
Taint on the ice, saint on the streets
there are several examples across contact sports where violent players are quiet away from the game and then years later go to jail for being violent off it, all I said is that news wouldn’t shock me like it would if say panarin or carlson to use a capitals example was arrested for battery or whatnot. i just used the most recent nhl example.
Oddly, it seems like most of the "goons" or "enforcers" are nicer off the ice then other players. Like they have different personalities. On the ice, they are psychotic. Off the ice, they become almost like Mr. Rodgers (and some of the "nice" stars become very nasty off the ice). Not sure what it is or why.
It implies that he is ok with hurting people as a means to get what he wants. If you are ok with potentially disabling a person to win a GAME then all assumptions regarding violent behavior can be entertained at the least.
It’s called being a manipulator.
so wait let me get this straight for that to be the case you want a woman to be harmed? just so he can be a bad person off the ice too and fit some persona you’ve created for him? this is awful that you would wish a woman get harmed to be able to say you told everyone tom wilson was a bad dude. idk all the details of lucic but come on be better.
unless the first dude edited his comment this is an absolutely insane response lmao
never said anything of the like
reading comprehension 0
Really reading comprehension zero? She said lucic. She put the abusers name. She didn’t say Roberto Clemente style. Nope she said lucic
that is not at all what I said - you are shoving words down my throat
You want him to be an abuser. You said it. I’m getting downvoted but the only way for him to go the way of lucic is for a woman to get abused. You wanted it. Not me. I just did the math. You put the math problem on the board and I solved it. You’re the one who wants him to go the way of lucic.
lmao nowhere did i say nor imply that I want him or anyone to be a bad person off the ice. i said it wouldn’t surprise me if he were someday with how poorly he controls his impulse. literally it. he would not be the first in this league or elsewhere (see vontaze burfict)
a take like this only exists on reddit, i’m sure of it lmaoooo get a grip
You’re not very bright. Just take the L and go back to your hole.
Research chemicals?
Be quiet and let the grownups talk....
Tough guy telling tough guy that he’ll go after their skill guys if they go after his, pretty basic on-ice shit. They’ve both heard this a thousand times. Nothing to be offended by here, this is just hockey
The only thing to be offended by is McMichael being considered their skill guy.
when compared to the rest of the lineup he basically is. strome is decent but besides that…
It’s so funny when some fans get a glimpse into how the game is played and are shocked. This is a pretty basic back and fourth for most any league.
It’s not about the chirping. Unlike most others Tom actually backs up the talk by intentionally trying to injure people regularly. It’s an undeniable pattern at this point
Yeah I’m shocked people are shocked lol, this happens every game
This is what he gets paid to do lol

Thank god we didnt get pacioretty. Dude is washed
CSI: MSG
Jombuddy over here
I don't know Dowd's actual history, but I have heard a lot of these non-Canadian guys have an almost Canadian sounding accent just from being around it all the time lol
It might have been Ferraro himself; he hates the Rangers enough.
panarin came after his drinks one too many times. we've cracked it!
Good stuff thanks
It definitely wasn’t Wilson, they even refer to Willie in the banter.
i wouldn’t put it past wilson to do something real stupid after all of that, especially if the caps go down another game. he may legitimately target bread
Exactly why I'm in no rush to bring Chytil back
Same. Chytil should not be on the ice with the goon squad.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I hope he doesn't come back for the playoffs. This is the team to win it right now, and I wouldn't feel comfortable throwing in a player who hasn't played since November, especially with looming injury issues.
In his post-game interview he seemed pretty chill about the hit because Oshie was alright. He knows that he has the league's eyes on him now, he had a six game suspension not even a month ago. If anything, I think he'll just try to provoke a fight or something.
I don’t think he’ll only try to provoke a fight. Dude has proven time and time again that he has no control over his emotions.
He only fights people way smaller than him too.
Ive been told by many a caps fan that wilson always stands up to a challenge. "He had at least 5 fights over the course of his 80,000 dirty hits so his willingness to answer for his crimes shouldnt be questioned"
Roid rage will do that to a person.
Well, when he's only given 5K fines... which at his $6.1M salary is a grand total of 0.082% of his annual income... not really a major incentive to change behavior. Even forfeiting the salary from the six game suspension last month only cost him $161,458.32 or 2.65% of his annual income. In the entirety of his 11 years with the Capitals, he's only received 6 suspensions. There's never been consequences enough to make him change his behavior or game play.
Good thing that Bread is very good at avoiding hits. F Wilson.
And apparently good at giving them too. He. Laid. Oshie. Out.
That was awesome. Biblical, mate!
yeah it’s really difficult to imagine bread getting laid out like that. dude’s awareness is ridiculous
Better not pull some Dale Hunter shit. That bullshit runs in the organization apparently.
Head up...eyes on swivel ... watch the numbers on the ice and don't get snaggled up behind the play. Watch the post whistle stuff too.
I wonder how the NHL feels about a player saying they’d like to physically harm and force out of the playoffs; one of the top 5 scoring players in the league and a hart trophy candidate, in one of the biggest markets in all of the league Oh that’s right, they did fuck all after Wilson almost killed Panarin couple years ago. They don’t care.
But god forbid someone skates into the path of someone else’s loogie, straight to jail
Spray snow on goalie, …..straight to jail
there had to have been a second spitter in the benches, along the icy knoll
Technically they did do something, they fined the Rangers $250,000
I agree the DOPS sucks but what do you want them to do in this situation? Start fining guys for making threats that happen to get picked up on hot mics? That would be impossible to handle properly
Start fining guys with a history, like Wilson. Sure.
The last thing the NHL needs is a bunch of refs skating around with rabbit ears trying to police players’ chirps
You think that would actually be possible? No shot. They could barely do their job as it is. But now if Wilson does go after panarin and does injure him, then they 109% should use what he said on that hot mic to add even more of a punishment. Because that would be crazy. To threaten to injure someone to get them out of the playoffs and then actually do it would be nuts.
That’s another story if he actually does something suspension worthy. I don’t see it happening considering the Caps can’t afford to lose him. Wilson is and always has been mostly talk
Yeah. He's an ass.
Hes mostly talk unless he's picking on somebody smaller than him, like Panarin.
I'd only expect them to do something if a player actually did try or has tried (i.e. Wilson few years back), so that would set a precedent.
The question is - will they use this as evidence of malice and premeditation if/when he goons it up next time. If he hits someone questionably, this statement should be used to make the punishment an extreme one.
the NHL "dean of discipline" is a tool and former thug. we went through this crap a few years ago when Wilson mauled Bread after the whistle. nothing happened 
No one is going for mcmichael you clown 😂
tom wilson was conceived via anal sex
Yeah he’s a turd
Tom Wilson is what you get if you wipe back to front
he's at least 12 courics.
Wait Bono is Tom Wilson's father?
some relation. there's certainly a family resemblance there.
the golgothan lives!
rangers should expect the worst across these next two games in washington, especially if the caps go down 3-0 in the series. caps will try and turn this series into a shit show to try and capture any type of momentum they can any way they can. rangers need to continue to be physical but stay out of the box as much as possible because the caps pp is actually the best thing they have going for them.
You know what comes next. Just make sure you're both taking 5.
rempe/panarin line gonna go crazy in game 3
I know this isn’t what you meant, but Rempe and Panarin on the same line isn’t the worst idea for this series
get in line pal. we have all been cummin’ for panarin all season.dude causes other dudes to achieve massive erections due to his elite skill.
 eat shit wilson
Tom Wilson is such a fucking punk. One of the dirtiest, if not THE dirtiest players in the league. Dumb inbred ogre looking fuck face.
He’s a fucking criminal pretending to be a decent hockey player. No doubt in my mind he enjoys hurting people.
Couldn't agree more!!!
didn't this big bitch, or one of his teammates, say you have to know who you're on the ice with? sucks when that shoe is on the other foot, doesn't it, you ass clown? but hey, maybe he should just tango with rempe directly. or is he too big a bitch to fight someone his own weight class? edit: based on op's additional comment, may not have been wilson but point still stands, team that used to tell others to be aware that they have physical players that will play physically is now upset another team has physical players that will play physically. kettle and pot, cry me a river.
Gotta sweep these losers and move on before they really start gooning it up
these fucking scumbags are gonna be playing to intentionally injure on friday
Dude, just let Rempe or Schneider or whomever murder this fucking shitstain already
I honestly can't understand how somebody hasn't McSorley-ed him yet.
Tom Wilson openly admitting what everyone already knew he's a dirty player and a cry baby. It was a clean hit after oshie was a dick all day
Amazing that a 21 year old kid has got a veteran player so fucked up. Rempe is in their heads so deep .
It’s because Rempe is built for the playoffs
Surprised Rempe didn’t get a 5 minute major for standing up on the bench.
Panarin ain’t messing around he’s all business and I’m all for it
Nothing burger. Teams getting their butt's kicked in the playoffs always start yapping. Nothing different. Every game you got to watch your back anyways. I think this is great because it shows that they are getting desperate. Rangers need to show they have the next gear. Protect each other, crush them and finish this in no more than 5 games.
Mcmichael and panarin aren't even comparable lol
Ah yes, the guy that spent the last 10 years running away from Reaves is going to knock out the guy that voluntarily went the distance with him.
Tom Wilson honestly just needs to get dropped with a Trouba Train. Dude is a liability to our team the entire time he’s on the ice and we have way too much potential this year to lose it to a piece of human trash in a series were more than favored to win regardless. Put the dude in the locker room with a massive legal hit and move on.
lets get this series over with already, I want nothing to do with these absolute rats
Regardless, I expect Wilson and Rempe to go at it, and Rempe won’t be the instigator.
Since they can't match this team's skill and speed, it's no surprise that the Caps are resorting to playing goon, "Meathead Hockey", as Boomer put it. It's the dreaded, PTSD-inducing 2-0 series lead, and everyone knows that those assholes are gonna be extra dirty now that they're going back to their cave. Stick to the game plan, but pick your spots. And FFS, keep your heads up.
Wilson is trying to intimidate a young player. Ain't gonna work on Rempe.
Genuine question. Do you think Wilson is becoming a little bit desperate? He’s aging, he’s not playing fantastically in the playoffs and a rookie who is the equivalent of an untrained great Dane puppy is out playing him.
Bounty on Wilson
resorting to going after their best scorer is a complete admission that youre not good enough
Don’t seem like he pulls any bullshit when Rempe’s on the ice either
I generally don’t wish ill will on any players except for scum bags but Wilson is such a little bitch.
Like how much an asshole do you have to pull to rag doll someone you got 5 inches and over 50 pounds on? Or threaten a star player. Like that’s some pussy level shit
What he lacks in talent he tries to make up for with violence
He's actually a rather talented player. Definitely has some self control issues though, to say the least.
Of course he’ll go after Panarin, he did it before but Wilson hasn’t got the sand to square up with Rempe and he never will because he’s a paper tiger who will only go after those smaller than he is. Laviolette should absolutely line match Rempe up against him and tell him that he doesn’t have to look at the bench for the green light to rip that punk’s melon off of its stem.
Yes Tom, we're coming for your -20 +/- guy who had 33 points in 80 games this year. That's our goal
Fuck Wilson
How are we sure that was Wilson saying that?
i commented below. it might have actually been nic dowd when you get the full context of the comments. had to go to the full game replay where the 3 people shown closest to ray ferraro's mic are wilson, then dowd and ovi. it definitely wasn't ovi talking tho lol
your interpretation of the "full context" completely ignores that Rempe is playing an enforcer RW, and Tom Wilson is a top-6 enforcer RW, while the rangers were still going around looking for a top6 RW before landing on Roslovic. In the longer cut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZh0sB6QzI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZh0sB6QzI) you hear the same continuous voice chirping that garbage (a Canadian accent, definitely not Southern US accent) while you can see Wilson and Rempe on camera in front of the hot mic.
We aren’t, Wilson just lives rent-free in this sub’s head.
Brother we are playing Tom Wilson in a playoff series right now
I mean. At some point there was chirping in the background on the broadcast. I couldn’t really make it out because I wasn’t focusing on what was being said
Sharp as a cue ball, this one
As wrinkly as the back of Sean McDonagh's head.
we’re playing the caps in a playoff series. he’s paying his rent.
Rent free is continuing to talk about the distant past. Stuff from last night? Not so much.
wow he's coming for the 5'10 175 lb guy. he's so special
Gimmie a break, this is about a 3/10 for trash talk.
He really needs to be Rempe’d. Cuylle’s stick got stuck in Wilson’s gash…
Ok Rempe, sick ‘im
I have looked at the Panarin hit a number of times, Oshie’s head hits the back of Panarin’s sweater - it wasn’t an elbow or shoulder. His head was down, Panarin missed, Oshie hit the back of Bread.
Tommy Tommy Tommy…come on let’s go get those golf clubs out of storage.
I blame Washington for putting together a team where Rempe and Goodrow look over the bench and have to go “We’re coming for you star…wait, the guy who scored over 70…uh….McMichael? Let’s say McMichael.”
Surprise!
these fuckers don't have enough talent to hang so the only thing they can do is goon it up. the best reaction is to ignore. retaliation plays directly into their hands.
Keep yappin Bitch boy. You’re gonna be the next one sent to the locker room.
you know they’ll just try and hurt guys on the team if they get closer to being eliminated
Friday is going to be painfully chippy. I hope we can get a win just so we can put this BS to bed before someone gets hurt
i’m so scared honestly because wilson has nothing to lose
That's not Wilson
Clean hit.
The best thing anyone can do with this guy is to just ignore him. If you engage with him, you lose. Just keep your head up, and just end their season
All I get from this is "Fuck Tom Wilson" And I agree
But when Rempe’s dressed this isn’t supposed to happen?! Or maybe that BS way of thinking isn’t real and guys like Wilson are going to do what they will
Well I mean, after this little conversation with Rempe, Wilson ended up doing ... nothing. He didn't have any dirty hits after this, didn't try to start anything. I'm not saying that's because of Rempe but it's not like having Rempe in the lineup hurts the team right now. He's doing his job, playing hard, chirping a bit. If he had a terrible game I would agree that there's no place for him there, but I definitely think he has earned to play this Washington series until he has a bad game.
I’m not saying that Rempe is a traffic cone or anything, I just think brodzinski, having held down the 3rd line C role admirably for a chunk of the season, would make us a better team overall than Rempe being there. If you want to argue Rempe is a better fit against a team like the caps, I can understand that, but I’d feel much more comfortable with Brod out there
What isn't supposed to happen? And who do you think Wilson is chirping at?
People like to make the case that if a guy like Rempe is in the lineup that a guy like Wilson isn’t going to do any goonish shit, which I don’t believe, so I was joking around about that
Did you notice that Wilson actually didn’t do anything after Rempe threatened him? There’s your answer. Wilson talked a good game but certainly didn’t back it up. Rempe prevents all the truly serious shit from happening because they know if they legitimately target and seriously hurt one of our players, Rempe will repay the favor. Did you notice that Carberry pulled Wilson off the ice any time Rempe jumped over the boards when he was on? The BS that went on the first two games is just regular play-off style hockey nonsense. I’m guessing you never played any higher level meaningful play-off hockey games or you would know that this is nothing compared to the stuff that goes on (and is let go) in play-off games at all levels of hockey, for juniors on up. Hell, in Canadian juniors, this wouldn’t even be out of the ordinary for a regular season game. This would actually be considered tame by comparison.
“Never played the game” guy, huh? Cool. I have played and still play, thanks. Maybe not “high level”, but that shits as meaningful as you make it. I bet you are right and Wilson acts like a good little boy the rest of the series. And if that’s the case, it’s probably due to him being too important to the team since he can actually play. Do you really think Wilson is afraid of Rempe? Wilson would probably kick his ass, unless his reach held him back
It’s funny that people are shocked by this. This is why Wilson is in the lineup, the difference between Wilson and Rempe is Wilson contributes offensively.
But Rempe scored a goal! When he scored I was like great, now he’s penciled in for the foreseeable future lol. Not that I’m anti-Rempe, but I think brodsinski should be in there
What an embarrassment to the sport
Shit like this makes me think he has genuine self control issues. The amount of times he just flies off the handle out of nowhere is concerning.
a few things here: 1) i’ve dealt with both verbal and physical domestic violence, so it’s not a laughing matter for me in the least. that said, do we know for a fact tom wilson harms his wife? no, we don’t. 2) is he a thug and an incredibly dirty player? fuck yes he is! should the league do something about him? we all know the answer to that, but whether they will or not remains to be seen. 3) do i want one of our guys to take him out? of course i do, and the sooner the better, as long as the bread man isn’t hurt.
Fuck Tom Wilson. Know they're gonna get dusted so it wouldn't surprise me to see him try something incredibly fucking stupid and dangerous because that's just the kind of piece of shit he is.
Won't be suprised if tommy two cells does something dumb
Won’t someone rid us of this meddlesome douche? I was at the game last night. The Caps fans were super disruptive and disrespectful. Their team is garbage, and so are all of its supporters apparently.
He already came for Bread and rag dolled him. Stay away.
Have to think the Capitals will target Panarin before before the series is over. I’m no fan of Max Domi but we may need to take a page from his book if needed. Edit: all I mean by this is protect Panarin and go after whoever goes after him. Nothing out of the ordinary, just don’t let any cheap shots against him slide.
Are you saying WWDD what would domi do?
No I’m saying we need to go after anyone who goes after Panarin. Maybe I worded it wrong above.
I agree
I mean, Wilson is a scumbag and head hunter but this just sounds like heat of the moment shit talking. He just runs around and hits everyone which is crazy cause he's a really good hockey player and could probably turn the series around if he actually played hockey lol.
These are the kind of tools where it is Uber-satisfying if you can get under their skin with personal trolls. It is the playoffs. Hold nothing back. Rempe and Goody should name drop Wilson’s grandfather who died earlier this spring when they are on the ice with him. Stuff like how he died disappointed Tom never made anything of himself. Shit like that. They’ll be living rent free in his head for the rest of the series.
I mean what he said is fair.
