Capitals forward Tom Wilson to bring suspension appeal to neutral arbitrator
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/h811VTe1BI1sicoYqHICFjsDBYk=/480x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/GRLUWDGYTMI6RA4EXTCUSL7PJE.jpg)

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will appeal to a neutral arbitrator after NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman upheld Wilson’s 20-game ban Thursday. The appeal will be heard Wednesday in New York by Shyam Das, the league’s neutral disciplinary arbitrator.
Wilson was suspended on Oct. 3 by the NHL Department of Player Safety for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist, who suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury from the hit.
After Bettman announced his decision Thursday, the NHL Players Association, working on behalf of Wilson, had seven days to appeal to a neutral arbitrator. The NHLPA took just one. Bettman’s original ruling followed a seven-plus hour appeal hearing on Oct. 18 in New York.
[Capitals forward Tom Wilson’s 20-game suspension upheld after appeal (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/25/tom-wilsons-game-suspension-upheld-after-appeal/?utm_term=.95295e9f6901)]
Capitals Coach Todd Reirden declined to discuss Bettman’s decision Friday afternoon after the Capitals practice in Calgary. Wilson was not made available to reporters after practice.
"I'm not going to comment on that subject right now just because I think [it] is probably still being decided what is going on from there,” Reirden said. “I will be more than happy to talk about it after it when it is all said and done."
There is a chance of Wilson’s suspension getting reduced by going to a neutral arbitrator. More players have been successful with neutral arbitrators than with Bettman’s rulings in the past.
Nashville forward Austin Watson recently had his 27-game ban for domestic abuse reduced to 18 games by Das.
In 2016, Dennis Wideman was suspended 20 games for abuse of an official, and a neutral arbitrator reduced the ban to 10 games. That process took a month and a half with Wideman already serving 19 games of his suspension.

The Capitals have one game to play before Oct. 31 — a 4 p.m. game tomorrow afternoon at Calgary, which will mark the 10th game served of his suspension.
Wilson’s suspension was his fourth dating back to last preseason. The DPS described the forward’s fourth incident as “an unprecedented frequency of suspensions in the history” of the department, which is what led to the harsh ruling.
Bettman concluded in his 31-page ruling that a fourth suspension meant Wilson was “not getting the message,” which reinforced that a 20-game ban “was necessary and appropriate and supported by clear and convincing evidence."

While we took a bad loss on Thursday night, that same night the Flames had their ass handed to them at home in a 9-1 loss to the Hens. Both teams will be working full steam tonight. Should be a battle.
-
I was hoping Bowey would be in the lineup.
-
I think he is, Djoos skated with the scratches after practice yesterday.
-
I think Bowey is in for Djoos. I finally found a reliable source that showed likely defensive pairings.
-
I know Copley needs ice time, but I'm not excited to see him play

Me neither. I still think we should have picked up a free agent vet like Lehtonen. We probably still could if we make some capspace.
-
Weak call IMO
-
We're on pace for a 75-80 penalty game
-
Man! If you can't find a passing lane playing 4 on 4 you have serious issues.
-
Weak call IMO
I missed it. I was getting a drink. What was the call?
-
What a dive. Lot's of faking in this game. Looks like he tried to dive and actually tripped himself.
-

Slashing call for a love tap on Oshie's stick. Oshie dropped his stick like 2 seconds later to get the call. Then Backy got called 30 sec later for interference.

It is Neal. He was the worst reputation in the league for diving. If it was another player we would have gotten a penalty.

Evening peeps. :wackysmile:

I saw the slashing penalty. It was actually Kuzy. And he dropped his stick because it was actually broken.
-
was the "interference" a makeup for Kuzy not holding on to his stick?
-
:13z:
-
Very cool that Ovie gave that kid his stick during pregame.
-
Evening peeps. :wackysmile:
there's a new movie out you gotta see...

-
Fab pass by Kuzy, great finish by Vrana. ;)
-
was the "interference" a makeup for Kuzy not holding on to his stick?
I dont know. The Sportsnet commentators said Kuzys stick was broken. I couldn't tell.
-
:13z:
2 Flames players just left the puck behind. They stole that from our playbook.
-
was the "interference" a makeup for Kuzy not holding on to his stick?
That's what I thought. I did not see the stick broken. it was a very gentle touch on his stick. I don't see how it could break from that. BTW, I knew it was Kuzy. I don't know why I wrote Oshie. I got a lot going on. I was looking at a new element for our dryer that just arrived. It look like a perfect replacement.

I don't really understand a lot of the negativity towards Copley. I think he's played pretty well so far. Most of the goals against him were due to the lack of D, not because of his performance. He's come up with some outstanding saves so far. The rest of the team have let him down.
-
I was thinking earlier that the sparse October schedule for the Caps may play well for Wilson's suspension. If he gets it reduced he might actually get to play more games than if we had a busy schedule in Oct.

yes, and no. and there's an example of why
-
Oshie takes a step back from the volcano......... :P
-
I seem to be on a bit of a time lag..

Bggr

Boyd should be coming off IR this week, it's going to require some player movement

He is not a good technical goalie. His positioning is a bit weak and he doesnt seem to control rebounds very well. Doesnt mean he can't have some good games but there is a good chance he will be inconsistent.
-
Jeeeeez! Have they all greased their sticks tonight?
-
Copley for the volcano! H ha! :lol:
-
We SUCK!!!
-
I think I'd rather go fix the dryer than watch this :O=
-
We SUCK!!!
we don't suck. The Caps do, at the time being
-
We SUCK!!!
Ooooh! That reminds me. I have an ice lolly in the freezer.......... :wackysmile:
-
Yummy. Mango flavour. ;D
-
Watching the Capitals so far this season has been like watching Laurel and Hardy in Icecapades.
-
Those sticks are fragile, huh?
-
Have I just jumped down a rabbit hole or something?
And where the hell is HAT?
-
My Hat, my Hat, my Kingdom for my Hat..... :clown:
-
Too much time in our own zone for my liking. >:(
-
Seriously peeps?
I stay awake till and in the last few games to STUPID o'clock in the morning and you can't even forego your afternoon nap?
I am seriously questioning your dedication.
Maybe I should go back over and teach you how to do it, eh? (Ō_ƆŎ)
-
Come on Oshie. Stop fannying about! Again. >:(
-
Sorry, I was busy pulling out my hair as I watched two hapless teams trade stupidities on the ice.
-
Seriously, how many stupidities can we possibly have left?
-
I may as well say this in advance!
:pppp:
-
That went about as I expected!
-
Seriously, how many stupidities can we possibly have left?
As many as the biased NHL trained refs (ha ha ha :raspberry: ) decide they can get away with. Then add a couple more. And a frog.
-
Backstrom looks drunk today..
-
How on Earth did we not score there?
-
How on Earth did we not score there?
Is this a trick question?...........

Ooooooh! Didn't see that coming! ;D GO Nisky! 8)
-
Nisk o nin !!!!!
-
Oshie was tricky there, he fooled himself!
-
Nisk o nin !!!!!
Welcome back!
-
Don't really like the way we're playing since the beginning of this season. Don't like it.
How is it that our defensive coach from the last few years, now just abandons all and every defense?
Bizzarre. :clown:
-
WHERE IS OLDHAT?
-
What are the odds the refs are going to interfere in the net 5 minutes.......
-
OLD HAT, OLD HAT , where ist thou, OLD HAT?
-
Where fore art thou OLDHAT?

Much better 3rd period.
-
What the heck is wrong with Joe B and Locker? Six minutes left and they said Copley is their player of the game because he has succeeded today. Game ain't over yet boys.
-
I'm tempted to just keep posting nonsense untill we reach 100 pages. Just for the sake of it. All these hockey and Capitals fans that are asleep at this time of the day???????????? ???????
SHAMEFULL!

-
fukin Kuzy
-
I just knew that early Copley win claim by Joe B and Locker was bad juju.
-
this will be Copley 1st ever NHL win
You jinxed him.
-
WTF????
I am shocked and stunned that it even came to this. lWhat a joke!
-
I just poked my finger in my eye. ??? I'm now just trying to work out if I done it on purpose.
-
Icecapades unite. :O=
-
I don't even want us to win ths game anymore. We were shiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

Team doesn't deserve 2 points.. Prolly won't get it anyway.

He must have been eating Maaco :lol: Shark fin soup, or Kool-Aid, or something!
-
Hehe, Joe B and Locker explaining they were worried they might have jinxed Copley and the team when they VERY prematurely called the win for Copley. 6 minutes is a long time with just a 1 goal lead.
-
Wht complete and utter lod of bollocks! Disaaaarster, darlings! Shambles, for sure. :poop:
-
What is wrong with yu Reirdon? Pfffff
Get your act together dude. >:(

yea, it was ugly but it’s a win

If they even trjoke of a win, I will be disappointed.y to celebrate that FUCK YOUM STUPID TECHNICALS"
-
yea, it was ugly but it’s a win
It was so bad, calling it a win is STRETCH.
-
How's your foot babe?
-
I felt better after they pulled it together in the 3rd. Then that sloppy play the last two minutes or regulation had my heart stopped. I blamed it on Joe B and Locker. Kuzy getting that delay of game at the end was just weird.
We have to question Reirden's sanity after he sent Carlson out 3rd in the SO.
I'm really glad we came away with the two points. Copley played a great game! Hat's off to him!
-
RIP Hat. :(
-
This ws ot a winfor us.
-
Is it,just my typing, you thikk?
-
:rofl: :rofl: Absolutly nOT intentional
-
What a shit game.
-
KUZY IS A MORON!!!!!!!!!!
well after forgetting today was a day game so I didn’t see it, . . . it’s a safe bet this sums it up
-
How's your foot babe?
sorry, ‘twas dinner time. My foot is still bothering me, over a month after getting bit
-
apparently they practiced the shootout and Dylan did well, and he had done it once before and scored so he's now .500 on the shootout
-
He must have been eating Maaco :lol: Shark fin soup, or Kool-Aid, or something!
Nope. I would use 6 or 7 guys before Carlson.
-
Just watched it - didn't think it was that bad. Not good, but not terrible. I am liking Jaskin - thought he played really well and has for the last several games. On the other hand DSP has played lousy and Backstrom was just slow and disinterested.
I actually liked the pick of Carlson in the shootout - mix it up a little. I'd like to see Vrana next.
-
and now we get a 4 day break from Caps hockey
-
Hey - so Backstrom had to be expecting to be picked for the SO. Maybe Riorden wanted to send a message when he picked Carlson - if you give a half-assed effort all night, don't expect to be in the shootout.
Or maybe he just played a hunch.
-
Two points is two points. I will take it. Just finished watching a recording of the game. I thought Copley had a solid game, can’t fault him on any of the goals. I also liked the play of Vrana and Burakovsky. I thought the top two lines had good chemistry and played well. It was interesting that Smith-Pelly and Connolly switched lines half way through the game and the 4th line was on when Niskanen scored.
