We weren't the most talented team, but nobody wanted to play against us. Simon was at one point a top-5 heavyweight in the league, but when he came to the Caps he could just never stay healthy. Then he had that ridiculous season where he scored 29 goals to lead the team, decided to cash in by holding out for a bigger contract, and missed all of training camp. As soon as he came back, he messed up his shoulder and was never the same player. To his credit, he would still answer the bell against other enforcers. But he went from pounding guys, to just hoping he could hold his own (and a lot of times he couldn't). When Stephen Peat emerged as our tough guy, Simon became expendable.

PokerPacker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Caps put a lot of pressure on in the first period, but just weren't able to capitalize. It was a closer game than the end score shows when everything suddenly fell apart at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first 2 periods I thought they matched up really well against a very talented Toronto team. Disappointed that the Leafs seemed to have more in the tank in the 3rd, even though they played last night and we were rested. No shame in losing to Toronto after 3 hard fought victories on the road. But they absolutely have to win at least one of their two games this weekend versus Carolina and Winnipeg, and it won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Haven't seen the replay since the game, but my impression was that Wilson's stick ramped up the shaft of the other dude's stick, which is what lead it to the face, not a targeted headshot. I seem to recall he only had one hand on the stick, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Unfortunately, no ramping involved. Wilson gonna pay the piper Im afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capcrunch98 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) It seemed like an accident (I'm biased) but he's gotta be more careful with his stick. Deserves a game or two, but I'm hearing the possibility of 6 or more, which would be ridiculous. That big goofy jerkoff for the Rangers (Rempe) has been running players every night since he came into the league, and he finally got suspended after a blatant elbow to the head of Siegenthaler (who is still out 2 weeks later) and that was 4 games. Rielly from the Leafs was suspended for 5 games for cross checking a Senator in the face after the guy scored a goal, in a play that to me isn't much different from the Dale Hunter hit that people still talk about 30 years later. I get it that Willy is a repeat offender, but 6 or more games would be overkill, and would probably end our season.
