Listen, your right like yes Wilson has a "fake" bad reputation. They don't like his hits, and it has been off and on bullshit.
But we all agree right? Like that was a bad hit. Even ignoring pre-season. Go watch the Cooke hit on Savard that started all shit years ago. This hit isn't that far from that. Wilson can't be looking to go for that hit. He just can't. That hit doesn't belong in the game. Hitting does, but that hit does not. Someone could get ended for life on that hit, and we also focus soley on protecting just the person getting hit. But the long term effects of shit like CTE and impacts to the head are pretty real. It can cause people to even go crazy later in life. Your brain should be protected, I don't think as fans we are crazy from that
Healthy impact and hits that can cause consequences that lead to some shots to the head I think is different, than running into a guy, chin first. If you make the argument that the guy turned a little in, so Wilson really had no choice, then I'm fine saying then Wilson had no choice. There is no hit to deliver there. Not unless he takes another angle.

I love Willy as much as the next Caps fan but that was dumb, reckless, selfish and predatory -- and that would have been true in a playoff game let alone in a preseason game where objective number one is to keep the guys healthy. He needs to be sat down BY THE CAPS let alone the league. When he was a rookie with a limited skill set that crap was not great but okay, but now that he's getting $4M a year, and we need him on the ice, this has to stop.

Hey Rush. Howdy Neighbor. Small world.
Damn NEAR neighbors is right. I USED to live in Broad Run - on Misty Ridge, at the end of Snow Mountain, so literally right around the corner from you.
I actually live in Marshall now...well my address is Marshall - I still consider it Warrenton - about 10 minutes past FHS

I know exactly where Misty Ridge is. That’s closer than I realized as well. Let’s just say I could literally throw a rock at the intersection of Foster’s Fork and Old Bust head. Snowfox Lane if you’re familiar.
So I USED to live in Marshall. A little house on a horse farm. Perfect for my drumset and I, LOL. Only the horses could complain. Merry Chase Lane to be exact, which is off of Atoka road, about a mile and a half before you get to route 50.
Nice and quiet out here in Broad Run. Don’t really miss the city much at all!
Cool. TTYL
Rush

I actually like you dude. I just think you're a bit nuts for advocating murder on the ice and finding no joy in winning a cup lol. I'm a Network Technician for a Telecommunications company, why?

Ditto,
I was just curious as to how to how you coming about your assessments.

Remember when Ted and the league sat Ovie down after Campbell cried about his arm and told him to stop hitting people and wuss it up?
This is what Willies getting paid 4m a year for. Who is gonna have a modicum of enforcements or detterant against cheap shots or targeting, Lars Eller??
While what you say is correct to an extent, without another physical threat in the line up, this is Willie is the only thing we have before hiding behind the league drinking soy milk.
