@@arsenuhl7 Everyone loves a Wilson or Reaves when they are on their team. But, when they play for other teams, everyone calls for them to be suspended every penalty lmao
@@sformosaa Reaves has had some dirty hits but Wilson’s reckless temper tantrums and consistent cheap shots, lack of remorse, etc puts him in a whole different league. He’s out of control
If the NHL hadn't expanded so much, talentless guys like wilson wouldn't even be in the picture. There already aren't enough good players to fill the teams we have and they are watering down the league again with expansion next year, smh.
@@jonbower194 3rd and 4th liners in this era are far more talented than 3rd and 4th liners in the 80’s and 90’s. Wilson is far more talented than say...Tie Domi
The bad thing is the league is going to wait until he damn near kills someone to take serious action against him and then they’ll start saying of how tragic that accident is when they could have prevented it in the first place.
@@lucasmilne1511 held his stick to the back of Buch head, punched him in the back of the head and if panarin hits his head on the ice before his shoulder god knows what kinda damage that could cause. Did way more than that
most isles fans im seeing hate wilson more than the rangers. Team rivalries aside wilson is putting everyone regardless of team in significant danger every time hes on the ice
@@Jdub2121 fun to watch at the expense of player's safety? They aren't gladiators buddy. If someone dies on the ice because of Wilson are you still gonna think it's entertaining?
@@-gumby-3381 oh shutup softy. Any game u play u realize as soon as u step on the ice that you can die at any moment. Wilsons just making that chance slightly higher. As a caps fan we love how wilson plays. hes slowed down but hopefully he never stops
@@Jdub2121 hey man I didn't disrespect you so I ask the same out of you for me. If you can't be civilized maybe you should get rid of social media. Now for you opinion, no, nobody plays hockey thinking they will die. They play knowing they will get injured at some point in their careers, but NOBODY plays a sport thinking "I need to say goodbye to my kids and family cuz tonight might be the end for me". Professional athletes play with intensity, sure, but there's a code not to purposely injure someone like Wilson did just now. Same thing goes for Marchand but he is better now. You are mistaken if you think players put their lives on the line 82+ game a year bud. Just ask a real player you'll see.
I said the same thing about cooke when he played for my team lol. Trashcan Tom is a bigger version of Cooke. He's definitely a skilled player, but this garbage is way too common. Hope he's sidelined for awhile.
Matt Cooke tried to hurt people like Tom Wilson presently does. Karma never really got to Cooke as his career was mostly healthy. Outside of Reaves nobody can really throw them or hang with Wilson so karma probably won’t get him either. Sometimes life isn’t fair :/
@@perryandjazz7851 As a pens fan I hated Cooke. It was fucking embarrassing to see him on the ice and even more when some of our coaches use to defend his behavior like they doing with Wilson now. Just unacceptable.

@@NoootABigDeal This isn’t the first time Wilson has done something like this. Literally just this season he was suspended for 7 games for a hit on Brandon Carlo. Wilson is a repeat offender who needs to be properly held accountable for his actions
@@phoodiegames i dont disagree, i just dont see anything here man! scrum in front of the net, everyone going after eachother, his actions dont stand out here at all. you think he should get the boot for a weird punch/grab thing to a guys shoulder? really?
At this point, the Capitals, a talented and classy organization, should just Tony DeAngelo the guy. He's a disgrace to the sport and posting this shitshow on youtube is the best way to make our beloved sport look like... a shitshow. Two heads banged on the ice in the same sequence, and the meathead is laughing at the bench. The world is evolving, so should be the NHL.
two heads? all he did was give a soft punch to Buchnevic? Buchnevic fell with Wilson's stick underneath him, bringing Wilson down with him. As for Panarin, don't jump on Tom Wilson when you're half his size and not a fighter otherwise you'll get rag dolled. And he did. Wilson clearly didn't need to react the way he did but what do you expect when you jump on his back?
@@jjabary1 yeah the sucker punch was unwarranted and i'm not defending him but if you're Panarin, don't jump on Tom Wilson knowing full well that he's going to come at you, if you can't handle it.

@@motorheadbanger90 oh, someone who disagrees with me by telling me I don't watch a lot of hockey. That's about as original a move as Wilson's was courageous in that instant.

Todd didnt almost kill someone. Bertuzzi was no where near a dirty player... Moore’s poolside 2 weeks later laughing his way to the bank over Todds career. Such a joke
As if it would matter. They can't kill him and fights are broken up before someone is hurt. This players policing the game nonsense is just that nonsense. Honestly, if you really want to get back at him cheapshot him.
Teams should have an enforcer dressed for the games they play against Tom Wilson. An old school enforcer will take care of Wilson and keep him in his place.
Dude where is a Chris Neil when u need him? How about a Darcy Tucker when u need him! I hated to play against them, but man these guys were tough as nails! Its annoying because u have guys like Wilson, Cooke and Marchand getting away with everything with no repercussion for their actions
unfortunately there isn't much of a place for them in this era of the nhl, so losers like wilson will get away with shit like this for the most part, i mean the dudes that really didnt have much of a purpose other than knocking peoples teeth out type enforcer

@@GregAllenF1 you could tell all that from a couple comments hey? I’m gonna give ya a little advice. This intuition you think you have. It’s gonna get ya in big trouble one day son.
Someone should call up some guy built like a brick wall who would otherwise never make it to the NHL, and have him take out both of Wilson's knees. In the interest of player safety it's the right thing to do.
Good point. You almost never see skate cuts during these scrums. It is like they have an instinct to somehow avoid it... Unless you are Happy Gilmore of course.
And you're one of this people who cries about 80s hockey being better. Shit like this happened almost every game and now every snowflake needs to cry about it. Tom Wilson will be playing as long as he's useful for his team. Which mean you will complain about him for around next 5-10 years. Just stop watching if you can't handle this
@@lukemaynard1746 maybe slamming a dude 2 feet shorter then you against the ice repeatedly, and punching a guy 4 times when he's down. violates a few rules luke. all of it suspendable.
The Rangers just called up Gilmore Tuttle, Ross Mad Dog Madison, Andre Poodle Lussier, Clarence Screaming Buffalo Swamptown and Tim McCracken from Hartford today
Rangers fan keep crying about Wilson yet seem to forget how dirty of a player Mark Messier was. Ya sure, he cleaned up his game when going to New York but still
I've been a Caps fan basically since birth, and have never been as happy in my life as when we won the Cup. I've always defended Tom Wilson... "he's just a big guy, he doesn't realize that he can't make the same hits as other guys", "he just needs to adjust the way he plays a bit"... no more. I will not defend his actions anymore. This is completely unacceptable. I am ashamed of my previous defense of him. He just punched a guy in the back of the head that was lying prone on the ice... for NO REASON. Looking back, I can no longer defend any of his other hits or questionable moments and I am disgusted with his behavior. It's not just this play or this moment that brought upon my realization, but also reading the comments by fans of other teams, rewatching his plays with less of a biased lens, and the fact that he was voted the second dirtiest player in the league by his fellow players. It breaks my heart because I recognize that he was an integral part of why we won the Cup in the first place. Does that mean that as a team we weren't good enough to win without a man physically injuring our opponents so they couldn't compete? Heartbreaking. I'm still a fan of a good, clean fight and don't want to remove that element from the sport. But that's not what Tom Wilson does. This level of violence rarely has implications just within the sport. I fear for those in his life. You look at him and you get the feeling that he could snap at any moment. He needs to take a good, long look at his actions, his choices, and his life. He also needs to get some sort of anger management counseling. The level of rage, condescension, and disrespect he shows his fellow human beings is more than troubling. As has been mentioned, he is a good player, which makes his poor choices even sadder. I'll forever be a Caps fan, but Tom Wilson is an old container of chicken hidden in the back of the fridge. I can no longer ignore the stench and it's starting to rot all of the vegetables in the crisper drawer. Come on Tom. Be better.
I have no bias in this. But I've watched the clip a bunch of times... you said he punched him in thr back of the head for no reason..... The reason was Buchnevich kicked at the goalie/puck more than once. And he hit in the in the shoulder not the head. IMO if you kick at a goalie with your skate you've got that coming to you.
@@BAReeve83 I’ve rewatched a few times more closely now based on your comment. From my viewing it looks like Van Riemsdyk #57 pushes him into the net, also puts pressure on the back of his knee so he loses his footing and he’s trying to get his balance and additionally he’s trying to kick the puck into the net without knowing where it is. He barely touches the goalie. As a hockey player I understand the rage you feel when you think someone’s messed with the goalie. If that was the case and Wilson took issue with it then he can fight the man. When he’s on his feet, not when he’s lying facedown on the ice with Wilson on top of him. I can see that it was more of a shoulder punch than a back of the head, I concede that, but regardless. You shouldn’t be punching someone anywhere on their body when they are prone on the ice unable to defend themselves while you are pinning them down.
@@ant5036 i'm not a caps fan by any stretch. i'm sane enough to realize any team would gladly jump on the opportunity to acquire wilson if they could. don't be stupid.
buddy, he literally hasn't played the Knights all season. Every time someone talks about Reaves, all I think about is how he was scratched for game 5. We all know what happened then :).
@@cameraman3542 Tlhe NHL pays and controls the refs. You know the same refs and linesmen that make the calls? Completely controlled narrative. They want their best team in it for the W. Tom is one of their biggest fans. Wake up you lemming.
Wilson was pissed because of the roughing penalty on him earlier. He can’t control himself. If I was a Ranger on Wednesday I wouldn’t go after Wilson(if he’s not suspended) Id drop Carlson or Backstrom and tell them “let Tom know this is his fault.” Until guys like Ovechkin, Chara, Backstrom, Carlson tell him to cut the shit it’s gonna keep happening. Now we just have to find a Ranger that has the balls!! And that’s coming from a die hard Ranger fan!
The problem is there are no Rangers with the stuff, Davidson and Gorton traded away Lemieux and before that, Dylan Mcilrath a few years ago. Now the team is comprised of primarily finesse Euro types and will keep getting mugged by the other teams in the conference, this is not a Tom Wilson problem, this is a Rangers problem.
I've been asking for years, whose career is going to end by the time somebody does something about wilson? He eventually is going to seriously injure or kill somebody
Interesting thing is, if he did end someones career. I wonder if they could sue him? I wonder if that is covered by the NHL and players union. Can't sue for someone causing a career ending injury.
All players understand it’s a physical game and most can dislike, but respect, a rival who plays and fights, straight up. No one really respects the cheap shots.
@@randynovakowski7718 lol, i still think they would send the rat for some serious tounge. the caps have some big boys in their team so i think they can handle the rugs.
@@robertfloyd3081 ur brain dead and a disgrace to hockey if u think this type of behavior belongs in the game. Wilson was straight up tryin to injure him.
Well all know Tom Wilson is an absolute clown but something definitely not right upstairs with that guy. Things misfire somewhere in his brain. Almost like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It’s sad the league can’t get the guy the help he desperately needs. At some point disaster will strike him, all the tell tale signs are there.
Bro you are a child lool what the fuck do you know. Al these fucking children RU-vid psychiatrists make me laugh. You have no insights, no one cares about your Wikipedia opinion. The End
@@ekiboy never even got near the goalie. Two people already took care of it. No reason for him to step in, he was just pissed about something else in life or earlier this game and took it out on him.
That could have been really ugly with Panarin having had his helmet knocked off. Lucky he didn't bash his head into the ice with that body slam. Deserves at least a fine at the bare minimum
Whoever takes out wilson will probably get a standing ovation from the league and whatever arena they're in. Even the capitals don't like him. Their coach only puts up with him
The NHL did not suspend Wilson on purpose. They wanted him play in a nationally televised game. People should realize this is how the NHL works. Rating before safety. 6 fights on Wed. night. NHL thinking. Ohhh yeah...it worked!!
@Jelly Jam grow a brain dumbass. He threw a headshot on a guy who was down, then slammed another guy to the ice while they didn't have a helmet on. Once again the league doesn't punish a play simply because there was no visible injury. It's pathetic. There's a reason the game has been moving away from this shit.
Wow that's a dangerous cheap shot. To the back of the head/ neck when the player is face down on the ice. That is absolutely intent to injure and is definitely worthy of a suspension. Especially since he is what an 8 time repeat offender.
@@seikoshinohara3084 Yeah, you need to find some Marchand lowlight videos on here. He may not have ended any careers, but it wasn't from lack of effort. LOL
@@Ldiepian It wasn’t the defense of his goalie itself, that’s completely normal. It was the complete overreaction by Wilson. You can throw a punch to protect your goalie, even shove a guy down to the ice, but it’s unacceptable to hit a guy while he’s already down, Wilson does this twice.
Buchnevich kicked at the goalie. Which is what ultimately caused him to fall and pull Wilson down on top of him. You kick at a goalie with your skate you deserve what's coming to you!
@@BAReeve83 So you deserve to get your head pushed into the ice? Depending on the force behind the push, that could cause a concussion. I’d say no one deserves a concussion for something like that.
For all the ppl saying Reaves is dirty too, your right. Just not insane like Wilson. Yeah Reaves has had some dirty plays in his career, but nowhere near the severity of Wilson’s. Wilson actually wants to hurt people. Reaves will lay you out and sometimes gets carried away and does a dirty play, but Reaves is never gonna sucker punch someone who’s already down on the ice. Reaves would instead probably just laugh at them and trash talk them and then lay them out later in the game but he won’t intentionally try to take them out of the game because then who is there to get into scrums with.
@@darrelltolbert7572 Yeah I don't know teammates still defended Tood Bertuzzi even after he broke that dude neck. I've made bad choices on the ice several times in the heat of the moment. Made hits I instantly knew where horrible hits. I'm sure some of them second guess it but won't ever speak it publicly. It's always be a hockey 101 rule you dont throw a punch when there on the ground.
@@darrelltolbert7572 Yeah that was completely uncalled for, in my opinion his year should be done(even playoffs) based on his previous history. And capitals are my second favorite team. Behind wings.
Everyone focused on the punch but overlooking that he rode him down to the ice with his stick across his neck before it. 10x worse than the sucker punch
@Greased Up Deaf Guy care less!!?? Hockey is one of the most progressive sports. It went from absolute mayhem prior to the 2000's to a game about speed. Every single team in the 70s, 80s, 90s had 1 or 2 Wilson type players. Now there's only like 4-5 in the entire league. It's not even entertaining anymore. Most new players weight under 180 pounds now. It's figure skating with some contact.
@Greased Up Deaf Guy I've played for over 20 years and still play. I'd admire the skill, i've never said i didn't. However, not everyone has the talent and skill of speed and finese. Hockey has always been a sport with multiple aspects of skill. Physical play is a skill as well. With being physical, you also play that fine line of being dirty. Maybe if you had ever played the enforcer role, you'd understand that. Every hit will not always be clean, the game is too fast and too emotional for that. You've stated your opinion, i'm the opposite, I enjoy the emotional and physical play. YOU enjoy the new era of skill hockey, that wont be the same for everyone. Take a look at it from another persons perspective. I'm just stating the physical aspect of the game is still important. Why do you think playoffs are so exciting?? Because the guys play with a chip on their shoulder.
@Greased Up Deaf Guy I think we probably agree on most of it. I see it from a different perspective, as the sole reason i was chosen on every high level team in my life was from my physical ability. I didn't go out there and only want to hurt or crush people, but hitting guys was what i excelled at. I think by removing guys like Wilson from the league may have a reverse outcome of what you want. If you really go look through all of Wilsons hits, 95% are probably clean or borderline. 5% are dirty. But if everyone gets suspended every time a little cheapshot like a punch to the head with gloves on is suspendable, hitters and physical guys will be removed from the league. In turn, this will create rats whom go around spearing and slashing because they do not fear any repercussions from guys like Wilson. Just my 2 cents, i could be completely wrong in my thought process.
@Greased Up Deaf Guy try that Michigan move in the 70s you would be picking up your teeth one by one. Thats hot dog shit. Its faster because you even touch a guy you get a penalty. Dont know how many times you see a penalty called and you watch a replay and go oh ya ok. He tapped him on the arm with his stick type shit. Ya want too see skill from the old days watch Alexei Kovalev do some shit or Kent Nilsson hitting the cross bar at will from all over the ice.
