I think Wilson is in their heads now. Gotta love Willie.
And sweet goal by Stephenson
ArJunaZ:
The refs clearly ruled the head was NOT the primary point of contact, but the NBC goons keep trying to insist that it was. :poop: :poop: :poop:

Looked like it to me. Often when you deliver a hit you ride up, and it looked like because of the angle of the way Reese was coming at Wilson and bracing for the counter hit/trying to avoid as much damage as possible, Wilson hit his shoulder on his shoulder and rode up into his head as he was bracing. Wilson's feet does come up AFTER he delivers the hit however so it looks to me that him rising is a result of the impact. Like if you look in slow motion his one foot does not come into the air until after he's deliver initial shoulder to shoulder contact, and then the momentum causes him to rise and hit the head.
I don't know about discipline on this one. No penalty on the ice is a big deal here imo.

Will quickly say hello to everyone during commercial break! Am embarrassed to say that it has taken me this long to find this forum...after having enjoyed the other (official) Caps forum last year. Could not figure out where everyone went on the 'old' forum--like a ghost town--and am happy to have found some of the same participants here tonight!
