Tom Wilson to have appeal hearing with NHL commissioner on Thursday

(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/1bWFzhke8XKkbk4MR9V3I1fyC6k=/1484x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/OQSP7EGIZEI6RHAPF75PNVBCVI.jpg)
Tom Wilson received a 20-game suspension for a hit during the preseason. He has missed the Capitals' four regular season games. (Nick Wass/Associated Press)


Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have his appeal hearing with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday in New York City, according to the NHL Players' Association. Wilson is serving a 20-game suspension from the league’s Department of Player Safety for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist.

The NHL Players' Association filed for an appeal on Wilson’s behalf last Friday, and Bettman’s ruling won’t necessarily signal the end of the process. If Bettman does not lift the ban, Wilson can then choose to appeal to a neutral arbitrator, and players have had more success with that route. Nashville forward Austin Watson recently had his 27-game ban for domestic abuse reduced to 18 games by Shyam Das, the same arbitrator who would rule on Wilson’s case if it gets that far.

In 2016, Dennis Wideman was suspended 20 games for abuse of an official, and a neutral arbitrator then reduced the ban to 10 games. The process took a month and a half, and Wideman had already served 19 games.

[The Caps think Evgeny Kuznetsov is one of the NHL’s best, but he just wants to have fun (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/12/caps-think-evgeny-kuznetsov-is-one-nhls-best-he-just-wants-have-fun/?utm_term=.b9f1b536c08b)]

Wilson’s appeal likely will focus on the length of the suspension rather than the legality of his hit on Sundqvist. The Department of Player Safety described Wilson’s fourth suspension in 105 games, including preseason and playoffs, as “an unprecedented frequency of suspensions in the history of the Department of Player Safety,” which is what led to the harsh sentence. Based on the $5.17 million average annual value of Wilson’s contract, he is forfeiting $1.26 million as part of the suspension. The money goes to the players’ emergency assistance fund. If an appeal is successful, he could get some portion of that back.

While Wilson remains out of the lineup, the Capitals are still figuring out who should replace him on the top line beside center Evgeny Kuznetsov and captain Alex Ovechkin. Wilson scored a career-high 14 goals and 21 assists there last season, and through the first four games, Coach Todd Reirden has tried right wing Brett Connolly there. Against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, speedy winger Chandler Stephenson will be in that spot.

“Just the depth of their four lines and the way that they play, I think this lines up better for our four lines matchup-wise for us, and also just looking for someone with a little bit different type of skill-set than Brett has,” Reirden said. “So, now Chandler can get in there on the forecheck and disrupt. They’re a team that you have to force to play defense and make sure you have a really good forecheck if you’re going to shut them down.”

Was hoping to see Bowey dress for this game. I'm interested to see Stephenson on the first line. When Wilson was suspended I would have had Stephenson fill that void before Connolly.

Was an okay first. While the Leafs did hit a few posts and had a few chances, I didn't really think much of it was clean or due to defensive breakdowns. Their D basically plays forward all game, and I thought we did a great job making most of their scoring attempts not even be clean. Matthews missed a few, had a few blocked and even when he finally hit the post it was on a wobbler that Nisky was instantly there to defend. It also hit the outside of the post so it wasn't even remotely close was just a weak bouncer.


I'd say with the statement opening of the game as well as some good hits/overall better defensive coverage that period it's certainly not the New Jersey game again, at least it wasn't that first. Which of course it had to be better, but good to see it was.

As a Canadian, Cherry is alright. He's rambling nonsense and getting shit wrong half the time, but he still does see it right a bunch of others. At the end of the day he's still such a hockey icon that I'm totally okay with him doing that thing until he's done. He's earned that right I feel. Even if he isn't always making sense, especially with his higher age.

This has been a pretty solid period by us. Even when they try to force us to play chance for chance, our D/chasing forward are pinching at the right time. Leafs haven't had much going this period. We've also stopped most of their PP set up all night with an active PK.

He's trash. Vrana is the better version of him, Vrana is faster and even better on D as well. Even plays heavier ffs. Bura is a wasted roster spot that we need a bigger player in his spot. The weakest player on this team should be Connolly imo and the only reason we should keep him around is for that shot on the third line. Once Wilson is healthy I'd scratch Bura honestly. We still need another heavier player though we all I think agree on that. Bura just isn't what any of us had hoped. I wish we'd of kept MoJo over him tbh.

Another deflection and another soft play by Djoos and Connolly. Deflections are going to be a big thing against us this season, especially as teams settle into games with us and realize that we play good man on man D and we have a goalie with good first shot saves. The thing about us getting a target on our back is more teams are going to realize they can't play cute with us. Toronto has shifts of it, but even they realize gotta grind it out with our D-man playing clear the garbage in front of the net.


We'll need to start playing "clear the man" from the front of the net more. And the ageless wonder Brooks Orpik (who somehow looks good this season) can't be the only one clearing the crease. Djoos needs to step up, Orlov too. All the D man really.

We earnestly played good enough to win there. Let the Leafs have that late. I guess I can take us playing much better in our own end post that New Jersey game, but still. Losing a game when you slow a team like them down like we did, Tavares looked pedestrian that entire game. Holtby had some good saves. We should of been able to find a way to win that, and other than the timely first goal we looked as if we just kind of assumed we would pull that out and then gave it away.

     Wtf are you talking about? Hate to say it but Carlson has been by far our best defence man. He has actually been our best defensive defenseman.
   He was matched up against Matthews most of the game and did a good job against him. Matthews line didnt score with Carlson on the ice. The other 2 pairing were on the ice. Carlson is the least of our worries yet you continue to rip him.
    Try ripping on the players that deserve it.

   Very sloppy 3rd period. We just aren't very good defensively. Djoos is showing that he doesnt belong in the NHL. Not sure what's going on with Niskanen and Orlov. They aren't playing well at all.

after Holts was pulled, the first time Dylan had to retrieve the puck from his own end, he took his sweet time doing so. He did not act like he was on team that needed two goals in just about 60 seconds. By the time he had the puck on his stick there was a Leaf right behind him

   So what. We lost out on a second or two. The other 2 defence pairing are getting lit up every game and that's your complaint.
    Why aren't you complaining about Niskanen and Orlov getting torched every game. Or how Djoos has been playing. The kid is afraid of contact. He doesnt belong in the NHL.

    How about we just be realistic. If he deserves to be shit on then shit on him. You can't deny that he is our best dman by a country mile. He seems to even be our shut down guy this year. That is a scary thought.

Would you just lighten the hell up.  Why are your posts always so personal and abrasive?  I don’t agree with everyone’s posts or assessment of players games but I don’t “WTF” them.

I was at the game last night.


The entire game turned on the Toronto PP where they held Eller's stick when he had the chance to clear, and nothing was called.  The 3rd Toronto goal was an immediate result.  Then we put on the pressure but couldn't get anything by Anderson, and the predictable result, we get caught on the other end for the 4th goal.  But losing 3-2 and losing 4-2 isn't any different.


Believe it or not, Burakovsky was one of the better Caps' forwards last night.  He is one who can skate with Toronto and last night's game was his type of game.  But he had nothing to show for it.  He just seems to be this guy who goes through these spells where he gets no production whether he's playing poorly or playing well (and I admit, he does a lot of both.)  Then he'll get in a spell where things start to go in for him.  Who knows?  I will say that the guy who looks discombobulated thus far this season is Eller.  I think the Caps switched Stephenson and Connolly to reunite the Bura/Eller/Connolly line and hopefully get them going.


Toronto reminds me a lot of the Caps from 10 years ago.  They want to push the play and they do get caught up ice.  They now have the top center combo in the league -- I mean, that is two #1 draft choices there, and two CLEAR #1's in their draft years.  But I don't know, come playoff time, if they have the team balance to get it done.  A deadline addition on defense is probably critical for them.


I suspect you are going to see a lot of ebb and flow in the Caps' game this season, especially if they fall out of contention for the Metro Division and are playing for a lower playoff seed.  It's like the recent Penguins -- they have trouble concentrating early in the season and have gotten some ugly outcomes as a result.

I swear Maako, I think folks are just messing with you now. (I know I was previously)
But seriously dude....anybody so much as frowns towards Carlson and you have to pick up and defend him.  Lighten up...I think the jackasses (self included here) on this board are just messing with you now cause you so touchy about him.


I can't comment on this game as I have yet to watch it.  Stupid freaking Dish network DVR'd it on the NHL channel I don't have instead of the sports package channel I DO have.  I did record it last night on a replay but have not watched it yet.
I'll be sure to bust on Dylan tomorrow for you :-)

     Absolutely these guys are trying to get under my skin. That's OK. It would be pretty boring if nothing like that happened.
     Funny thing is that I wasnt a Carlson fan. I started defending him when I saw people trashing him and now he is growing on me. Im impressed with the improvement in his game. He had a great season last year and is playing well so far this year.
     The guy I actually was excited about was Orlov but that's wearing off. I thought he would be our number 1 by now. He is decent and sometimes shows signs of brilliance.
