NYR owner was the one who sent out that statement.

Apparently the Guys fired today tried to distance themselves from it and said we don’t agree

They got Fired.

Good in the Rags owner for actually standing up for players and saying what everyone was thinking.

NHL is getting what they deserve.

What I’m seeing on Twitter currently.

Non NHL people saying this is embarrassing.

Hockey fans saying this is great you don’t know what you are talking about.

But hey fans will defend this to the death because “this is hockey”

Imagine it’s the NFL and one of the Bills players had a dirty head on a dolphin and then the next time they played on the kick off the dolphins just started attacking the Bills players.

See how dumb that sounds.

lmao yeah this is really the saddest way to put it

I am glad the Rangers stood up for themselves, makes me wonder if 1 particular player on are team would have done anything or just skated away.

If the league does what it SHOULD have done and suspends Wilson, this most likely doesn't happen.

They don't, so it is what it is. The Rangers players gotta do what they gotta do. I don't blame them at all.

It's 100% on Bettman.

Good question.

I would have zero faith that a Ralph-coached team would stand up. Granato's team has shown more balls.

NHLPA should take a little blame in this to.

Fighting has always been a part of the game. If each team still had the goon like before this whole thing would have never happened. Wilson would have been challenged last game and he may not have even took the liberties in the first place. I say bring back the goons.

I just turned the game on from beginning so I could see what happened and was hoping Kenny Albert would be calling it. Yes! I’m with you. Let the players police themselves. So awesome seeing the players on both sides in the penalty box go crazy over the Wilson fight. I never saw it, but do you remember the Avs/Red Wings revenge game? I remember it being talked about when it happened and lived up to the billing. Want to say McCarty beat the crap out of Claude Lemieux. At one point there were rivalries in sports.

Agree with that, but I am talking 1 particular player. Well I am gonna stop myself because I don't want to start anything on here.

Tom Wilson has an owie and won’t return.

Aka. He bailed on his team.

We should also allow the players to take of their skates and stab people with them.

How about sticks that have bayonets on them too to add to the fun.

Give me all the blood.

Who are you talking about?

Lavvy can be the coach of my hockey team any day. Maybe for just a 3-4 year period, but still.

Who are you talking about?

Just makes me wonder, he's skated away to many times.

Kaprizov got hit from behind in the Wild / VGK game.

Dude who did it had a bloody face after being jumped

Great night for the NHL...

My money is on he doesn't challenge Wilson.

Also from the MIn/VGK game.


Sutherland watches Hartman get slashed up the ice by McNabb, then hit behind the net by McNabb without the puck, then hit in the back of the head and pitch-forked to the ice by Fleury. Now he takes McNabb and Hartman for roughing

Well John Scott put it perfectly earlier, it's open season now, NHL really screwed the pooch with Wilson, it won't just affect what's happening in the Rangers game

Remember when Gaustad fought Lucic.
That really put this Sabres team over the top.

Nothing wrong with fighting, tough physical hockey.
