Though some coaches may do that babcock likes to have a balanced attack. People forget Zetterberg and Datsyuk didn't play together on a regular basis in Detroit.

Who's gonna stop Matthews-Tavares-Marner?

tom wilson

With head shots?

with pure overtime game winning goals. never forget that snipe in the playoffs .

Nylander for Wilson straight up lmaooo

being 100% honest and people will heavily judge me.......before this season started I told Loganoliver that I wouldn't 1for1 wilson for nylander and that wilson would out produce him this season.....I stand by that statement

wilson bring so much to the capitals that don't always show up on the scoresheet..... dude is hockey player.

The season isn’t over yet, nylander has the talent to surpass him still... Not saying that he will but...

my point is that wilson is comparable to nylander not a 4th line cheap shot artist

imo wilson overall is better

I disagree with that last thought but if Wilson can get the stupid **** out of his game he is a decent 2nd or 3rd liner, maybe slightly over paid.

Dude, Wilson is a more valuable player to a club because there aren't players like him anymore. Think of him as a Hyman but with actual skill lol. You can find a Nylander pretty much anywhere... (Kessel, Duchene, Radulov) but you won't find a player like Wilson. He was honestly one of the main reasons why Caps won the cup

He’s a dirty cheap shot artist, not a bad player but needs to get his head on straight.

Very cliche response

It’s not a cliche, he tries to end his other player’s careers. I can handle people like Kadri and Marchand, even if he does spear people in nuts you aren’t going to finish someone’s career. Usually I just say I would like him if he were on my team, but Wilson is just brutal. I do my best to look past that but I would just never want him on my team if he continues to make such poor decisions. Just my opinion, no one is saying you can’t like him.

Haha you can handle kadri? Did he get suspended for running a guy last year in the playoffs? To be clear he got a full head of steam then proceeded to hit a guy directly in the head. Or vs the caps when he went knee to knee with ovechkin. Just to name a few that I personally remember.

Kadri has been suspended 4x in 488 nhl games. All 4 suspension were for hits to the head.

Wilson has been suspended 4x in 423 games. Also for headshots.

Love how you can condone one and frown upon the other. Seems hypocritical and again cliche.

Edit

Also if the nhl Was consistent he would have got the “Tom Wilson” suspension after that dirty hit in the playoffs since it would have also been his 4th stike.

“Tom Wilson is a cheap shot artist”

Kadri has been suspended 4x in 488 nhl games. All 4 suspension were for hits to the head.

Wilson has been suspended 4x in 423 games. Also for headshots.

Seems like the inconsistency of the nhl only punishes certain players with 20 game suspensions

First off that hit on ovechkin was a beauty and shouldn’t have even been a penalty.

That hit on wingers was bad, Kadri was coming in for the hit and wingers went down. Kadri should have held up but made a bad split second decision. I didn’t like that hit either.

Wilson targets people in a malicious way. If you can’t see the difference we have little to talk about.

Complete dirt bag hit on ovechkin. And malicious literally describes the hit he got suspended for. He was aiming to end that guys career. Watch the hit again. I honestly have little to talk about on this topic after this but kadri is A cheap shot artist like Wilson. It’s just the facts of it. If you choose to ignore that it’s fine but doesn’t make it any less true.

I’ve seen both hits... maybe you need to watch them. Hit on Ovi was a sweet hip check, no knee involved at all so get the goggles off there...

And like I said the hit on wingels was a bad one. He saw him get in with chara on his teammate and while he was coming in to hit wingels he went down, Kadri should have turned away. Warranted suspension for sure and a piss poor decision by Kadri that cost us that series.

It’s sorry defence to try and say but look at other people. Proper answer would be yeah... Wilson needs to cut that **** out. Kadri needs to as well but he went all last year and so far this season playing on an edge that I like.

Off topic

Imagine if Canada went with

Marchand kadri Wilson as a 4th line checking line

In international hockey... that would not fly but it would be awesome, put them out against top lines lol.

Haha I would hate to play against them
