I love that he gets so much hate. Like any other guy that does his job, his physicality crosses the line sometimes. Never been suspended in his career. This was a bad play/hit. Late, and knee on knee. Don't want to see him do this anymore. As for the rest, play the exact same way, especially if Malkin is going to dive like a baby to a little cross check.Sure did. That's very relevant to the rest of this series where he will definitely not play like the piece of shit he is.
Wow, talk about putting the hammer down.Get a $2403.67 fine.
He definitely won't play like a piece of shit going forward now!
Yeah, if you think about it Wilson is the real victim here. He's basically a hero.I love that he gets so much hate. Like any other guy that does his job, his physicality crosses the line sometimes. Never been suspended in his career. This was a bad play/hit. Late, and knee on knee. Don't want to see him do this anymore.

It's not borderline, it was a bad hit. Puck was long gone too. And while in Wilson's case, I certainly didn't think he was intending to go knee to knee, Orpik's forearm goes straight for the head it seemed like there. Orpik will get a game or two for sure (and deserves it). Hits like that remind of the one Backstrom took that caused him to miss half a season a couple years ago. Just bad.That Orpik hit is super borderline. Replays make it look like he was straight up targeting Olli's head with the elbow. I guess it's nice to see the Caps being consistent.
Malkin's been doing his usual shit behind the play too, but agreed on Orpik's hit just being all bad. I know he plays physical, but that was just not what you want to see out of him last night.2 great games so far. If both teams can keep it clean, and by both teams I mean the Caps stop attempting to injure guys, it's going to be an amazing series.
Wasn't making this argument, only noting that for all the venom directed his way, he hasn't ever been suspended before. Although I guess the league does look at it as far as "repeat offender" goes.I never understood that argument. "He shouldn't face suspension because he's never been suspended!"
Seriously?And while in Wilson's case, I certainly didn't think he was intending to go knee to knee
All DOPS is a joke. I thought he'd get 2, but as long as they are CONSISTENT (lol), 3 games is fine for a shitty hit like that, and that's how they need to punish it to reduce those from happening (as much as they can).Orpik got 3 games. Which is way better than anyone expected. 1 game seemed like the most likely possibility after the Wilson jokefine.
Not because the Caps get preferential treatment, but because playoff discipline is a fucking joke.
I guess we'll get to see how many games Letang gets. Although we all know the result of the hit (read: injury or not) factors into it. Mojo being able to come back means Letang probably gets 1 game tops.Fuckface Trotz sounds just like most internet fans.
Coach Trotz said he's disappointed with suspension length "but not surprised give the opponent"
