  Wilson got fined for the incident with Panarin. I disagree with the fine but atleast he didn't get suspended.
    What has this league come to? 2 players jump Wilson from behind, they have to know Wilson is going to defend himself. Panarin is a fool for getting involved. He got what he deserved.




I'm sure they DID know that Wilson would respond.  With Wilson now one of the most valuable forwards in the league, other teams are going to try to keep the heat on him in order to get him off the ice.  They want to coerce him into penalties, knowing that the refs are keeping a careful watch on him and are likely go give him lots of penalty time.

If they did, it didn't work out too well sending their little "star" to jump on the bulls back.  :snicker:

my observation that everyone in the media is ignoring ...


When a player gets an extra shove for trying to play the puck after it looks like the goalie has control, it normally results in a group hug with maybe a face wash or two. That's NOT what the Rags did to Wilson, and it didn't look like it was just the Rags trying to get him off the ice. I've got zero problems with the way Willy responded, and maybe, technically, he deserved the fine. But the Rags should have been held accountable for their actions as well and they weren't.

So the NHL radio channel has been pretty much non-stop bashing of Wilson. Almost nobody is mentioning that the whole thing was started by Buchnavitz who jabbed our goalie after the puck was covered!  At least one of the hosts defended Willie on the Panarin part - saying what do you expect when a guy jumps on his back?


Then the Rangers issue a public statement yesterday wanting the head of discipline fired and there is some speculation that they are calling up some guy from the minors that is a fighter. Should be an entertaining game tonight!

Been listening and hearing the same anti-Wilson rants on NHL on Sirius.   It's almost delusional, especially Jim "Boomer" Gordon - who I generally like.
