I'd be surprised if Willy goes to Europe and plays.  Why would Caps allow that?  What if he is injured?


I DID hear during the broadcast that Nate Schmidt was playing in Europe during is "substance abuse" suspension.

They said last night during the game Willy is or is going to play in Europe for a few games, I don't DVR the games so I can't go back and look
    He is in the process of appealing his suspension. He can't go to Europe. They said Schmidt was over in Europe practicing with the Vienna Capitals. I never heard them say anything about Wilson going to Europe.

well, I was doing three things at once. Thought it was Willy they were talking about going to Europe.
One of these days I will get a DVR....
ETA... I got a replay of that conversation, they were talking about Willy and Schmidt in the same sentence, during the game I missed the part where they added Schmidt to the conversation


and WTF is the difference between what if Willy gets hurt if he did the same or if Schmidt gets hurt over there

Yeah, I kind of figured when I saw your post.


I was also surprised to hear that about Schmitty.  I was wondering the same thing  - whether it's conditioning or Olympics or whatever...what IF a player gets hurt "playing" for another team.

Am I the only one that see the league dragging its feet on the appeal hearing? The league knows a suspension appeal is automatically filed by the NHLPA per CBA rules, yet it takes 15 days for that to happen.

Im surprised there isn't a clause or something about letting the player play, if they chose, until appeals are heard? But like I said before, I think it's about money more than anything, so even if he sits all 20 and then gets reduced to 10, he'll get the $ and that's what all the NHLPA cares about..

Just saw on twitter, the meeting started at 11am.. It was still going on at 3:30pm and it's now 5:30pm, with no news if it's still going on or ended or?  :cross: 


Are these things usually all day marathons?

Wilson's hearing lasted 7 hours. I guess Bettman is going to look through everything over the weekend and have an answer midweek. This entire process is a joke. Bettman shouldn't even be involved. Any appeal should go straight to an arbitrator.

I think they intentional drag it out because they know it will go to arbitrator and take another two weeks after they have already stalled for two weeks and by the time the arbitrator rules on it - its already done.

This whole thing really pisses me off.  Not just the NHL dithering, more so the lack of judgement by Willy.
I can understand the NHL's stance - to a certain degree, but yhey should just make a decision already.
TBH, I'm more upset with Willy.

 He knows he's a marked man by the refs.  He KNOWS!  Ovi is the same.  Marked and always watched very carefully.  Ovi has had some pretty .... meh.... how to put it: - borderline (?)  plays in his career, but he cleaned them up.  Holy crap, he gets an outomatic suspension if he tucks his shirt in his corset, even though other players, even in his own team are allowed to do it.  Stupid, stupid, stupid, I know.  Exactly.  But that's the way it is.  Ovi has adapted and has become, not just one of the best scorers generationally, but one of the best scorers of all time, in spite of all the NHL's BS.
Willy worries me now.  He has such a huge target on him.  He has had for a while.  He KNOWS this!  The O'Hallorans, the O'Rourkes and the like, who do the opposite of giving him the benefit of the doubt and even seem to fabricate misdemeanors, they must be laughing their heads off now.  Willy has absolutely NOT deserved everything he's got.
However.
He KNOWS he's a marked man and to do something as reckless as this was just plain stupid.  When is he going to bloody well learn?Other teams can just glide by him now, blow him kisses and there's nothing he can do about it.
A few years ago, someone was banned from the NHL.  I can't remember who, but it was because of too many suspensions, I believe.  A lifetime ban.  I'm sure I read that somewhere.   ...   ?
I think the 20 games is excessive, expecially considering many of his penalties were bogus.  Maybe that's what the NHL is trying to determine?

Whilst he's on his holidays, I hope Willy grows another brain cell.   (Ō_ƆŎ)

(Preferably somewhere more north of his current hemishpere.).

Just sayin

My guess is that Bettman will drag this out long enough that Willy sits the full 20 regardless of what happens with the appeal.

Surprise, surprise.


F'n buttman never had any intent to reduce it.  Wonder if winning the cup factored into Buttman's bias?

Fucking Bettman is a douche bag.  I described the incident and saw it exactly the way Tom and his team presented it as seen in the document Bettman released. 

Sundqvist is a pansy ass that has no business playing in the NHL.  He's been making pathetic snowflake remarks for the past few weeks trying to garner negative sentiment for Wilson. I'd love to smack him in the mouth and force him to dine on HRC's camel toe. (Sorry ladies)

I never have seen Tom Wilson as a dirty player, and I've watched every game he's played in the NHL. The league is using him as their poster boy for virtue signaling and claiming they are doing all they can to battle the risks of head trauma all to fend off future claims against them.  Meanwhile it remains perfectly legal and acceptable for players to drop their gloves and send roundhouse punches to each others' noggins until one falls to the ice. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The only head hunters here are in the league's front office and in the zebra suits.
Be careful what you ask for America; you just might get it.

It's too bad nobody will press Bettman on what should happen when a player comes across the ice with their head down.. Not sure how someone of Wilson's size is supposed to check them w/o making "some" contact with their head.. I guess it's a free pass to not get checked?  :poop:

    This is exactly what I expected from Buttman. He may as well appeal this too. Its almost seems like a waste of time. Even if he wins the appeal he will serve the 20 games.
     I think we all agree that Wilson crosses the line with some hits but he is not a dirty player. He is physical, plays fast and plays with an edge but he doesnt intentionally try to injure players.
     A couple of days ago Mark Borowiecki got a 1 game suspension for a vicious elbow to the face of Vaakanainen. I dont care if its his first offence or not. The elbow was intentional. I can't figure out how the NHL decides what disciplinary action should be taken for each offense. Wilson get 20 games, the next guy get 1 or Marchand gets only 5 for a vicious elbow that resulted in a concussion and that was his 6th suspension. There is a check to the head in almost every game that is played but 95% of them aren't even reviewed. Probably because the player wasnt injured. The NHL is a fucking joke.
